Armenia 2010-11 Home, matchworn v Republic of Ireland by David Manoyan(?) Before we get onto the rest of the shirt, look at those sleeves! The classic chevron pattern from Hummel extends the full length of the sleeves and really stands out well. Not that the kitman then knew what to do with the patches, they’reContinue reading “Armenia”

Benin 2013-16 GK A standard Airness GK template that they used across a few nations, Benin included. There’s a sort of bubble shaped fade effect going down the front and some yellow accenting on the elbows and down the sides. Badge and logo are decent quality but there is a bit of a disconnect betweenContinue reading “Benin”

Liberia 2012-13 Away There isn’t much to this shirt from Specs, a name I’ve not heard of previously. While, as with most Liberia shirts, there isn’t really much to talk about, we do have some nice accenting on the cuffs and the collar with the red curves across the front an interesting further touch. AnContinue reading “Liberia”

Belgium 2018 Home Aside from the front pattern, a very plain shirt. However, it is quite a nice one, with a sort of variable checkerboard of the Belgian flag colours. Done as a homage to the 1984 kit, it does work pretty well while not being a total copy. However, the badge feels larger thanContinue reading “Belgium”

Gambia 2015-17 Home, matchworn/prepared? U17sGambia 2019-23 Home Ok, so first off they are legally “The Gambia” but FIFA’s rankings refer to them just as Gambia (which is the river around which the country is based) so that’s what I’ll do. Yes, it is a template, simple red and white stripes across the front with whiteContinue reading “Gambia”

Iraq 2019 Home Now here’s a beauty! White fadeout across the shoulders (to hide dandruff?) and irregular dark green slashes across the deep green torso. What caused the fearful head shaking to throw around that dandruff and what slashed at the shirt? The really detailed lion in the bottom, of course! The Lions of MesopotamiaContinue reading “Iraq”

Antigua and Barbuda 2012-15 Home The second thing you notice about this shirt is that it is rather nice. The first thing you notice is that the FA logo just doesn’t look right not being in the hole in the stripes! Why can’t the numbers go where the logo is and the logo in theContinue reading “Antigua and Barbuda”

Kosovo 2016-17 AwayKosovo 2018-20 Away Blue and white standard Kelme template is ok. Throw in a non-standard shield badge with some surprisingly elaborate detailing on it. Add an authenticity patch with the same design and spray stars across the front and you make a great shirt. Flag on the back is sublimated but perfectly worthContinue reading “Kosovo”

Liechtenstein 2000-02 GK BenchwornLiechtenstein 2006-08 GK Matchworn/prepared Peter JehleLiechtenstein 2018-20 Away If the Sun just went out, I’m sorry, this GK shirt is just that massive. Strange feeling and fairly plain in colour, it also uses Liechtenstein’s old badge, with the body of the crown being blue. Numbers and badge are printed onto the fabricContinue reading “Liechtenstein”
