Football shirt collector. Sailor. Enigma.
Even better than that, I now have the current shirt in my possession after my wife brought it back from Rapa Nui, where she spent Christmas! Not sure there are many of these floating about! A worthy addition to the collection.

Did you know that Rapa Nui (aka Easter Island), the remote island in the South Pacific, home of the Moai (giant heads), has a football team? They play their games at the Hanga Roa Stadium and their first official match was in the Chilean cup v Colo Colo in 2009.

A lovely little Christmas haul. Merry Christmas everyone, hope you're all having a lovely day.

They really do look very nice together! If I can get a black away shirt of his it will be a cool little set to have in the collection.

My final shirt addition of 2024 is this match worn Filippo Bandinelli Spezia away shirt, worn in the 2-0 loss to Palermo on 01/12/24. Another great Kappa shirt for Spezia, and my second match worn shirt for Mr Bandinelli. Will hopefully complete the set in the new year.

Kitscene issue 3 is here and it will make for great Christmas reading. Not only because it is full of pages of kit goodness but also because I got to contribute to it!

Love it when you complete a set. And what a set.

The final of my 3 new match worn arrivals is this Slovenia away shirt worn by Erik Janža in the 1-0 Nations League away win v Kazakhstan on 13/10/24. Janža provided the assist for the winning goal from Jan Mlakar. The detailing in the fabric is once again lovely.

The second new match worn shirt arrival is this Villarreal home shirt, worn by Santi Comesaña in the 2-1 away win against Valladolid in La Liga on 26th October 2024. Santi has been one of my favourite players over several versions of Football Manager, delighted to grab one of his shirts.

First of 3 new match worn shirts. This one was worn by Nina Jakobsson in the Damallsvenskan match v Norrköping on 4th May 2024. AIK won 3-2. First Nike player issue shirt in my collection, really nice material. The yellow details on the black really pop, it's a fantastic shirt.

Everton 23/24 Away shirt, patched up with the nameset of Belgian international midfielder Justine Vanhaevermaet. A really nice retro style to this Hummel effort.

Stay humble.

How about this Mormenekse GBSK 13/14 away shirt from the Northern Cypriot League?

With a smattering of continental trophies and 18 domestic trophies, USM Alger are on of the most successful clubs in Algeria. This home shirt from Kappa was in use for both the 21/22 and 22/23 seasons.

Well I am shocked, shocked I tell you.

Today's shirt is the 2023 Philippines home. Designed by Jerseybird as a kit concept on Instagram, the Philippine FA saw the overwhelmingly positive reaction to it and the template was adapted for use as home, away and goalkeeper shirts.

Good on you! That Barcelona was among the first shirts I printed. Been doing it for a couple of years now, it's a satisfying little hobby to have!

Another evening on ship well spent replicating the livery of an old racing car.

I'm having a good night.

The official line is that it's inspired by local architecture, but then many shirts have been inspired by the area local to the club so who was inspired by the local area first?! 😆

It looks lovey printed up, and the Chaves 22/23 home makes me think of it too.
November 26, 2024 at 12:43 PM
Welcome Zekey!

These are all shirts picked up while I was visiting places, and they are not the only ones!
