Well guys, it looks like our boys will be wearing these kits this summer in Brazil.
I for one am not impressed by the new home kit design. I know there’s only so much a designer can do with checkers, but the solid red sleeves and back are too heavy on the eye for me. I think the HNS needs to go with a more white design rather than red for the home kits- at least that is what I was hoping for.
As for the away kits, I can only presume that they will be blue with some kind of checkered trim in there somewhere.
Nike tried to be cute with the HNS logo this time around; separating the crest down the middle with two different shades of blue. It just doesn’t do it for me and I think Nike is finally out of ideas. I would love to see what Adidas could draw up for the Vatreni one day. A guy can hope, right?
The back tag inside the jersey will read “Budi Ponosan” (Be Proud). Not of this kit.

Depends who he bites.
Ivanovic is a cunt but could probably kick the shit out of Suarez.
Suarez probably thought “this is the only way I could inflict some pain on this asshole.”
Regarding backing your teammates – Not so sure if I was a Liverpool player that I would back Luis Suarez up on half the shit he does. I mean, would you say, “Yeah, I think biting an opponent is OK – I’m all for it”.
Im putting 1000 kunas on croatia v brazil supersport.
There is no such thing as a “Za Dom Spremni lifestyle!” This is not a lifestyle choice like eating healthy or losing weight.
Either your ready for the Homeland or your not.
Is it just me or is strange to see our National Coach wearing a Holilster shirt-
Interview with Kovac

Paraga needs to come back!
USTANI BANE HRVATSKA TE ZOVE ZOVE!
Za dom spremni got ruined because Ustase used it that term just means for homeland ready only reason it gets bad rep is beacuse of world war 2. In the 1990s that slogan was used also does that mean that all those army men and women were fasicts? Everything is hard na Balkanu!
I wouldn’t say its overlooked. Instead, those fuckers have done a good job of deamonizing the phrase.
Kind of like the “n” word here in the US. You can use the “n” word, but it has such a bad meaning to it.
The jugo scum have done that to Za Dom Spremni.
Jebiga, as long as all of us live a “Za Dom…Spremni” lifestyle, all is good.
Neymar out 4 weeks with sprained ankle
The commie and their agenda is null and void as Za Dom Spremni is legal in Croatia according to Croatian law. Why is that overlooked?!
its just not factual! even the Germans have self dignity and you wont go far accusing all Germans of wrongdoings during WW11!
@Slavonac from Canada….I agree with you. The powers that be have done a good job of associating everything Ustastvo as negative. Which is a shame.
and I like what they did to the emblem
Any leaks on the away kits?
I love it, it has a classic look to it… If they went crazy on the jerseys like Mexico, everyone would cry about it not having a classic look to it and it will look good with white names and numbers…
Personally I hope they only put numbers and don’t put the names on the back, it shows that they play more for the emblem on the front rather than the name on the back
Ziva- I see exactly what you’re saying and agree, but I have to say its a bit sheepish to have several people surround you on any given day and yet none….not even a club representative for Dinamo or Suker from HNS…nobody standing behind him and directly confronting the claims. Yes, I know, I saw the “I don’t think Joe is or I don’t think he meant to say or Joe doesn’t even know what he said”…I saw that…but that’s sheepishly admitting he was oblivious when in fact all it would have taken was for someone to direct their comment to Jovanovic…confront him specifically!
you said: “They sided with the Nazis and any attempt have a conversation with someone to prove Joe meant well falls on death ears because of the association that phrase has with the Ustase” – you know…I mentioned this before. My dads family were forever persecuted after WW11 because his uncle was an Ustasa….my dads best friend was a youth Ustasa member as well…there has to be far more education provided to the public on what that organization was formed for, what it meant and what the goals were.
Last year I visited my dads friend, now in his late 80’s…he has a photo on one of his walls where he is sitting in the back of a “prikolica” being pulled by a tractor…he told me that photo was taken while him and his soldiers were leaving Zagreb…two days ahead of the Partizani…to this day he was proud of being a fighter for Croatia and although he has heard the “Nazi stories of Ustase” he says there were far more great Croatians that were fighting for a good cause, freedom and for Croatia than there were that committed crimes.
my point is that I find it sad that anyone who ever rings up the word Ustasa is immediately viewed as a criminal…and that’s just not true, isn’t it surprising that no one has yet provided information as to the real reasons and objectives of Ustase and why they were formed?
Croatia to play Australia before the world cup
http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/socceroos-to-play-croatia-before-world-cup-20140117-30yej.html
Here is why in my opinion………..We can go back in history and point out where Za Dom was used way before the Ustase. it was and that is very clear. But, it was used by the Ustase as well. And that is the issue. They sided with the Nazis and any attempt have a conversation with someone to prove Joe ment well falls on death ears because of the association that phrase has with the Ustase. Thanks to a power jewish lobby and liberal media, It is tough to argue anything that involves the nazis.
Now, why hasn’t anyone in significant power spoken on behalf of Joe. Well, not too many our “our own” are in power in Cro and those who do speak on behalf of Joe have been reomved from any influence in Cro and are painted as extreme.
I’m willing to bet that a lot of the famous and infamous people in Cro don’t care one way or another what joe said, but they wont go in public and say something like that. The average person doesn’t care, but the liberal elite have done a good job of keeping this in the spotlight and targeting Joe. Much like the liberal elite and media do in the US to push their anti-family, socialism agenda.
Ziva-I can admit, you may be more connected with the overall situation I Croatia…I haven’t been there since 2006! When this first happened, admittedly I was mad at Simunic because I thought that since he lives there, he’d know what was acceptable and after saw the media response…I was confused and believed he was selfish! I have once again changed my mind and think that there could have been more done to deflate the sensationalism and the portrayal of a “villain” he was portrayed as. So now I wonder, why hasn’t anyone of any significant power or status spoken on behalf of Joe? There are several ways to express his so called error but none of them include him being a Nazi…and yet we have people in the government that had no problems throwing him under the bus! It took several days before we heard form people like Ciro or some of the players…what help people back from defending him?
all the above……….partiotic to many of us, but controversial to others as well.
The moment he said he doomed his World Cup. I though the suspension would be 4 or 5 games and force Kovac to leave him off the roster. Never thought he would get 10, but he did. And he only has himself to blame. If you want to play in FIFA events, then you need to bend over backwards and take it in the ass from FIFA’s rules.
I’m not a good person to ask whether “Za Dom” should have been perceived poorly or not, I have never in my entire life even thought it was illegal…it never once crossed my mind…but then again, I live in Vancouver and amongst the people I know…it wasn’t so often used other than at zabava’s…or in the younger years it was part of the youth meeting salute….we here are most likely like Joe.
I actually was pissed a little at Joe because I thought he knew (even if I didn’t know) that it was deemed offensive to say. After hearing some of my friends back home explain it to me, Yes, they may use the phrase but most of them know it isn’t advertised…so the question is? Did Joe know, was he conscious it was controversial…or is he lie me thinking its normal and patriotic?
I’m a team player. I would have had Suspension Joe’s back. Inside the team or one-on-one with him I would have told him that what he did was selfish and took way from the team win, but externally I would have had his back. Something along the lines of “who the fuck do you think you guys are being critical of one of our own.” He fucked up, which means all of us fucked up. And not in the manner his teammates turned their back to him.
I would have gone to the media once it became a big story and told them that the emotions got the best of Suspension Joe and explained that he is from the diaspora and they think a bit differently than people from Cro. We all know the diapora loves Hrvatska but they have revised history. Something like….throw him under the bus but also have his back.
I would have treated him like the son or daughter who makes a big mistake. Yeah, what they did was selfish and stupid, but at the end of the day you take the belt to your kids and whip them good, but you still love your son and daughter. Same thing here with Suspension Joe.
BTW
Happy for Dudu on getting his contracts with Mamic terminated. Enjoy your money to the fullest now!
Ziva – you have said many times that you think Joe made a selfish move chanting on the mic. If you were his teammate would you think the same? If so, why would you go out of your way to support something that in your mind is selfish? Also what would you have said to the media in support of Joe within the first 72 hour period of the incident?
I’m sure it be what the rest said. ( I truly believe Joe was not chanting Za Dom in hate towards minorities in Croatia rather in love for the homeland)
I just don’t see you supporting him teammate or not.
@mkez00………..how does FIFA have it in for us???????? Croatia is so insignificant on the global scheme that nobody would miss us if we were gone. So, how does FIFA have it in for us.
Some of Suspension Joe’s teammates thought he was an idiot for doing what he did while others had no problem. But, all of them did nothing to defend a teammate. Not a good sign. Even if you disagree with your teammate on his actions, you still defend him in public.
Great news for the Da Silva today. One day closer to an ultimate victory for him.
Honestly, if I was a player on the NT and another player went full “Rob Ford” like Simunic did I wouldn’t say anything. Clearly FIFA has it out for Croatia and has for some time now. I don’t disagree with what Joe said but anyone with half a brain would know it would bring a negative repercussion. FIFA is fickle and no matter how much justification and history is thrown at them they aren’t going to change their stance on what they deem inappropriate.
Doesn’t anyone else think it’s weird that none of the other players joined Joe for his chant? Maybe they were urging him to not do it because it’s not worth and he said fuck it I’m doing it anyway.
I think the people back home know we in the diaspora support Za Dom. That is why so many of the liberal elite in Cro think we are all backwards ass seljaci.
As for teammates supporting Suspension Joe…….when your teammate, friend, family member fuck up, you still have their back if you respect them. Not sure why none of them came out to support Joe in the first 72 hours after the event.
There was no support. They all said and did nothing. Easy to say something 50 days later, but I didn’t see any leadership form the teammates. I know there are clicks on the team and maybe there is a lack of respect for Joe by some of the guys. Either way, they should have had his bck after his fuck up.
@Bobby V…….if there is a will there is a way. no excuses in my book for the children not to know the language. I’m not saying it is easy. But it is not hard either.
Ziva does make a valid point regarding the teammates. They should of stood up for Joe. No one did anything, however I do not agree that he was being selfish. This has been debated so many times on this board. (time to move on)
Regarding the petition maybe Denis & Ante should do an article on that. Spread it all around and get more signatures. Some will say the peition will not change a thing, so what, get as many signatures as possible. Show the world and especially back home that “Za Dom” has support and a Fuck You to Jovanovic.
ziva’s dad… how can he wake you? isn’t ziva in the basement with greek boy toy who he bought online after his hero CEO made him a bunch of money?
Speaking of parents failing children-I am sorry son,when I hooked up with yo mama,I also said that I would teach you some maturity.It seems that nothing could be further from the truth with your comments.
Screw you kid,I am not getting you that new Cro jersey as you wouldnt appreciate it anyhow.Right now,I have no son.
God help you boy,if you fall out of bed again tonight and wake me……….
I think we found a new name for Ziva, Ziva “ZDS” Istina.
I’m a first-generation Croat who speaks/reads/writes the language very well because both of my parents spoke it at home.
Ziva, don’t know if you plan on getting married and having kids one day, but, if your future wife happens to be to a non-Croat (pretty good chance, I’d say) let me know how well your kids turn out speaking the language.
Not very well or at all is my educated guess.
They don’t report it and blow up the unemployment as much as they blew up Joe Simunic. Common! Not even close!!
I still don’t get why you think his teammates should have done something when you yourself thinks he was selfish…
yes, humiliated and ashamed they cant speak the language. Oh well, there is only so much I can do to help them. Afterall, I am not their parents. The parents are the ones who failed them, not me.
easy…….a teammate can make a dumb mistake like Suspension Joe did, but a good teammate always has the other teammate’s back.
Actually the media in cro is reporting very well on the unemployment and corruption. Problem is the diaspora hrvati dont pay attention and like to blame the media for things they dont agree with it. They are all over Linic and his problems. The problem is that he is like every other politican in cro past and present; he will get away with it.
This goes for Cro and for the US and every other country not under dictatorship……the media only reports on things that draw interest. When they report on items that don’t draw interest it results in bad TV ratings or low sales and then they move away from it. So, the media is giving the public what they want.
Livaja will snap out if his arrogance just as Mandzukic did, he’s still a youngster.
Of course you laugh at them. Like I said you feel humiliated and ashamed or you laugh and mock them. Not cool Mr. ZDS lifestyle.
Why do you think his teammates should have got his back if you don’t even have his back, saying he was selfish? Haha ISSUES!
I don’t think it was selfish of him at all. I think the media over there likes to blow this kind of shit up (cause they can) but what they should really be blowing up, is how many people are unemployed in croatia. They do all of this BS Ustasa shit to steer away from the real problems in CRO. Unfortunately it works and people bite.
Like I said, you may live a ZDS lifestyle off the boards but you haven’t painted a picture of yourself on this website showing that. Nor do you have too, I’m just saying…
@nije bitno…..true, I do turn around, but not for the reason you think. I turn around and laugh when I hear them butcher the songs with bad grammar. Not only cant they speak the language (and I will give them leeway because they are diaspora hrvati and everyone knows we are the best kind of hrvati) but to butcher a song where all you have to do is memorize the words…….well, that is no good. No excuse for that. Hell, I’m usually the one leading the songs.
And Mandzukic was a me-first ego maniac. But, then he got to Bayern and they fixed him. You didn’t see him play like that before he got to Bayern. Also fixed the way he was on and off the field.
@nije bitno…..I said it is a nice gesture, but that is all. You know why i think all of this is a joke with Suspension Joe? First he brought this all on himself. He lives in the damn country and he knows the phrase is controversial in the eyes of the croatian elite because the fucken liberals, 91ers and commie scum don’t like it and they control the damn media in the country. It was a selfish act where Suspension Joe lost his emotions and wanted to be cool instead of celebrating with his mates. It would be the same as me walking into a liberal convention and bemoaning the fact the US has a closet muslim as a president. I know that would be controversial.
Second, I have an issue with his teammates for not having his back in the days after this all took place. If any of them had any balls they would have gone to Puppet Suker and told him that if you don’t do anything to help Suspension Joe than I will not go to the World Cup. In fact, the guys who are true hrvati on that team should have told Suker they wont play unless the savez does everything for Joe. Unfortunatly, there are a few guys who are good on the squad like that, while others like Olic, Srna and Rakitic won’t come out and battle for him. Instead they wait a month and then give some weak excuse in the media.
In fact, I do live a “Za Dom Spremni” lifestyle.
Your one of those guys that turn all red out of humiliation around drunk Croats in public singing croatian songs outside of croatia. SRAMOTA!!
@ Ziva Istina – Simply stating that the two enjoy playing up front as a partnership. Nothing more than that.
Unless he publicly apologizes for refusing his call up to the Under 21s then I would never call him up again. He did say that he would never refuse a call up by Kovac again. I am not sure there was an apology in there. Kind of convenient that Kovac is now the Senior coach and that is the call up he was angling for all along.
That was me that left the comment about Mandzo and being sleeved up.
Why are those petitions for Joe a joke? Just because they may not change fifas decision? If they don’t fuck it, at least Croats showed nobody is fooling us with their BS explanations on ZDS. I know ur going to say what can we do there isn’t a whole lot of us and nobody gives two shits. Heck in ur opinion we shouldn’t be croatians nor should croatia even exists cause we are nobody’s lol. U don’t live a ZDS life brate. You almost seem ashamed of who U are.
You might not be like this off the boards but this is the picture u have painted of yourself on this site.
Well then you must not like Mandzukic either! He to is sleeved up!
Forget Livaja. That dude is a cancer. He is a selfish, me-first player. The stained ink on his arms alone tell you that. Soccer is a team game and you need chemistry. The only time you ignore chemistry is when you have a talent that is beyond good that you have to include him on the squad. Livaja is not that. You know these petitions going around to support Suspension Joe and help get his suspension reduced or removed. Well, even though that effort is a joke, we should follow form and start a petition for Livaja to never be called up to the repka.
@ Soul Champ – Why only two years? The young man is only 20 years old.
I do agree with you though, he does has a deft touch and has a nice first step. You can also see his isn’t afraid to use his size against defenders. Between the Under 20 World Cup and his loan goal vs Lichtenstein you can also see that he has great velocity combined with nice form and good accuracy.
Apparently both he and Livaja are fond of playing up front as a partnership. The two have a pretty good understanding.
@ Bobby V
I am giving Rebic two years to step up or step off.
Prso and Olic were both late bloomers.
I have been impressed by his speed and deft touch.
He has little Ronaldo flavor to his game.
Yes we do need a forward option to lead the line vs Brazil.
I say roll the dice and throw the kid in there.
Uvijek vjerni .
Turkish media saying that Slaven Bilic wants to bring Niko Kranjcar to Besiktas. Hell, I’d play him alongside Mandzukic – like a Gerd Muller type forward.
@ Croatia vs Antwerp – I agree with you. However, last game it looked as if they were playing a 4-3-3. I assume Matri is nothing more than an insurance policy.
I think this is nothing more than a team trying to ensure that injuries do not hamper a good first half of the season which may lead to Champions League Football the following campaign.
@CVA – Just as I said a few days ago – when everyone was saying Rebic will now get more playing time, I said Fiorentina will go out and get 2 forwards during the open transfer window.
As often as he was injured, too bad we couldn’t have red-shirted Boksic and have him playing now -haha.
Need to find some forwards in the Diaspora.
@ Bobby V and Soul Champ
Look’s like things got a whole lot tougher for Rebic. You’d think he could catcha freakin’ break with Rossi and Gomez injured. But La Viola decided to bring in Matri on loan from Milan. Plus they’ve been linked to other forwards.
What’s the point of paying millions of Euros for someone that you’re not going to play when the starters are injured.
Will do!
Loved Berkeley!
Went there both times.
And damn are the girls are hot around there!
Made me wish I got more of an education.
Adult Ed in DT Vancouver just doesn’t have the same babes that Berkeley does.
Nah brate I usually avoid the East Bay. I’m down south on the 880 about 35 minutes from Oakland in the South Bay. If I ever make it up to Oakland, I usually hit Berkeley but that’s rare. Let me know if you’re ever in SJ.
BEAR DOWN CHICAGO BEARS
@Ante B
Funny!
No Castro or San Fran for this guy!
The 2 times I went I stayed at the Oakland Marriott and The Washington Inn. They’re across the street from each other on Broadway and about 12th.
My girlfriend’s got family in Walnut Creek and Martinez so it’s nice and central and not too pricey like San Fran.
Ever try The Pizza Man in Oakland?
Damn is it good!
Anyone know how bad Neymars injury is? Bad enough to miss first game of the WC? haha
Strikers are a problem imo i can only think of quality or ok strikers under 25 what comes to mind are rebic livaja perica santini kramaric cop(i know i just put him because i read niko kovac is looking at him.) hajduk have youth but non of the strikers stand out maybe maglica. Thats my opinion
@ Poglavnik – The most important thing is that your wife and child are alive and healthy afterwards. Everything else is just a bonus.
And you’re still a peder! 🙂
Where do you usually stay in the Bay Area. You being a peder and staying in Castro aside, I’m sure you hang elsewhere. Odakle ti je cura?
Thanks man!
I’d like to know.
I’ll be happy either way.
Just hoping the summer of 2014 is a memorable one for my family and our Vatreni!
@ Poglavnik – Congratulations !! I would say that a World Cup in Brasil is a generational thing and you should try and experience. However, a stroller, crib and diapers for your young one are going to be pretty pricey. Family comes first.
Congrats once again. Are you guys going to wait or will you know the sex before hand?
@PRL
Was planning on going to the WC til I found out im having my first kid at the end of the summer.
It’s the end of the world as i know it! 🙂
That would be sweet!
Eagles are going to Lambeau next year I believe.
This whole kid thing is gonna put a major twist on me travelling for games in the future… For the next little while at least.
@ Ziva Istina – Probably not. I prefer the first 10 seasons of “The Simpsons”, Most of “South Park”, “Third Rock from The Sun” and specifically the comedic timing of John Lithgow to shows like “Seinfeld”, “Cheers” and “Fraiser”.
I don’t care how juvenile the humor, but “Dumb and Dumber” is still hilarious. Hopefully “Dumb and Dumber To” is a worthy sequel.
@ Nepoznat – I never knew you were such an accomplished oenophile. The next time I am buying a bottle of wine I will ask for some help.
I am trying to learn more. It is quite a broad subject. You would get a long with my brother-in-law. He has quite an extensive selection and has been my guide thus far.
Petar Radman-Livaja……well, you just don’t know what funny is. 😉
@Ziva Cabs? Merlot? Hopefully you are talking old world versions i.e. Bordeaux and not new world over oaked shit from Cali. Even still IMHO a Cab is too hardcore to pair with sushi, I’m not saying you can’t pair a red with fish mind you but be more selective and go with something that won’t overpower the sushi, like a Pinot/Burgundy or maybe even a Zin/Primitivo (originated in Hrvatska) or Grenache (Cotes Du Rhone or Spain)
@ Bobby V – From everything I have seen with Rebic at youth and senior level, it seems you may be selling him very short. That is just my opinion though.
I wouldn’t list Djurcic and Pandev that far ahead of our striking options. Pandev isn’t the same player as he was for Lazio many years ago. Mamic was quoted as saying that he believes that Lazar Markovic is the best prospect in the former Jugoslavia. He scored a breath taking 1st goal for them months ago. One day he will easily be better than Rebic. Again, I think you may be selling him a bit short.
@ Poglavnik – Are you going to the World Cup?
If not, next Eagles game in the Midwest and I will meet you down there. Hopefully in Lambeau during a blizzard.
“Rebic – Kovacic are young talents that have a shot to be trancendent.”
Kovacic – yes, Rebic? The only reason we are all latching onto him is because our forward options at the moment really, really suck – we are hoping he succeeds – and, by default alone, he is already one of our best, which isn’t saying much.
Serbia, Macedonia, and Montenegro have better forward options than we do. Jovetic, Vucinic, Pandev, Markovic, Djuricic would all start for Croatia along side Mandzukic before anyone else.
If Dinamo’s youth academy is so great, it needs to address this problem…..and answer why Kranjcar is the only player we have who can shoot from distance with power, accuracy and is consistent in doing so.
What the hell do I know, I do not find Rape and Cancer funny.
“kaka……..to me he is too passionate about his religion (our religion). I don’t like when others start preaching”
Yeah, kind of like you preaching about what is acceptable and what isn’t? Oh wait, you have the exact definition of what Entertainment is. I imagine you also know the strict guidelines of what Preaching is as well.
Even harder trying to determine if I should drink a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot to go with the sushi.
@Ziva
“I just don’t get sucked into the hero worshipping and jock sniffing by wearing personalized jerseys.”
Neither do I.
Wearing a printed jersey to a game does not automatically make you a hero-worshipper.
There is a middle ground there.
Didn’t think you would “cheer and root” at games…
Must be hard when you’re sitting on your cushy seat with a laptop and a mouthful of sushi. 😉
kaka……..to me he is too passionate about his religion (our religion). I don’t like when others start preaching. that type of shit starts locker room divisions. Plus, easy for Kaka to talk about life and god when everything in his life has been gifted to him on a gold plate. The dude didn’t grow up like a typical Braziliam soccer player (poor).
@Sudi Mi……..well, I wouldn’t glorify that single mother either who is working multiple jobs. She made the mistake in having unprotected sex with a man who is not reliable and put herself in a situation where her kids are going to be harmed for the rest of their lives. Children, in most cases (there are always exceptions), have a better chance at making it in today’s world with two parents and not one parent.
Unless the chick wanted to get knocked up, then she gets what she deserves.
Ralph Nader is a hero. I do not believe I have ever called a professional athlete a Hero. Maybe Kaka, just because of all his good work in the community and he is passionate about his religion and actually tries to apply those teachings to all those in need.
looking down my nose???? Hardly.
@ Sudi Mi – Any woman out there that is a single mother because there was a guy out there that was too much of a coward to be a father to his children. A woman that raises her family on her own and probably has to work two jobs to support her children is a Hero.
I also agree with you, the Officer was a hero for donating his organs. Gandhi was a Hero.
There is a big difference from buying a jersey because I admire the players impact on the sport and calling him a hero.
@poglavnik………good question. I cheer and root at sporting events like most of us, assuming I have a good wi-fi signal to check my messages and to live bet. I just don’t get sucked into the hero worshipping and jock sniffing by wearing personalized jerseys.
@ Ziva “There is a difference paying money to attend a game. That is entertainment. But, quite another to go out of you way and wear another man’s name on your back. That is all I ment by that.” That is only YOUR definition. People can define entertainment a variety of different ways.
Life is a struggle for everyone and it doesn’t need to be made harder by people looking down their noses for such innocent things as wearing a jersey with a name on it. I have a few Sakic jerseys. If I seen him at the airport I wouldn’t even look at him twice. Cool, that’s Joe over there, back to reading my book until its time to board the plane.
@Ziva
You’re a betting man.
So how about when a player makes a huge play for you that wins you a large sum of money.
Seeing as how much money makes your world go round, I’m surprised you don’t give out “hero” status to athletes more often.
@Ziva
So to you a hero is anyone that makes you money?!
If you were a prostitute would you consider every john that you turn a trick for a hero too?
valid points…….
And sure, some CEos are hero-worthy. Think about this. You buy a stock and do nothing, zero. You just buy it and a CEO worth his weight will raise that stock value for you over time. That is as close to hero-worshipping as I will ever get. I can sit on my ass, buy some paper, and within a few years that paper is worth 30%, 50% or even more.
There is a difference paying money to attend a game. That is entertainment. But, quite another to go out of you way and wear another man’s name on your back. That is all I ment by that.
Sure, there are quacks in every profession. I was only generalizing occupations worthy more of hero-worship than athletes.
And to repeat, I have never said not to wear a jersey. I have only not to wear jerseys with someone’s name on it.
Pokojni Constable John Zivcic was a hero in his life, and even in death given his organs were able to be passed along to 3 people.
That is an example of a REAL hero.
@ Sude Mi – Its the Internet, all we have to by are your words. Sarcasm cannot be detected as well. Its easy to see why there may be so many understandings.
@Sude Mi
No need, peace brate!
@Chupe
Totally agree.
Im still laughing at CEOs as heroes or role models. Yeah, lets look up to that guy that is outsourcing 85 percent of the work force to the developing world for pennies on the dollar.
Might as well look up to the people on Wall Sreet, The Republican Party and any Lawyer or Think Tank on K Street in DC.
Can we stop with this jersey crap please people can do what ever they please whats right to one person is not to another get over it already,
Sports Media tv celebs are over rated beacause of the people. i like sports it takes my mind off the problems i have in life not major problems but we all like to sit back and chill watching any sport.
@Poglavnik & PLR
Joke brothers, chillax…..life’s too short.
Apologies if someone was offended….not sure why, but apologies nonetheless….
@Ziva
There are as many shity doctors, teachers, and firefighters out there as there are in any other profession so unless I know something a little more about them personally, I’m not just gonna lump those professions together with a giant “hero” status attached to them.
And I don’t think I’ve considered an athlete as a hero of mine since I was about 12.
@ Ziva – Seek therapy !! You can tell Rape and Cancer jokes. Pay your good earned hard money to attend sporting events and then look down your nose at those who dont live their lives exactly as you do? What is your lame defense now? Its entertainment? Does Lebron pay to watch whatever it is that you do for a living?
As I have said many times. I agree with a few things you have said that seem controversial to some regarding our National Team. Aside from that, you go off on these tangents and you just sound like a bitter and miserable human being.
Whoops “You’re”
@Ante B
Your not the first person from the Bay Area to tell me that. 🙂
One day, one day…
Whoops, “Hvala”
Havala Nepoznat!
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Fuck is Ziva unlikeable…
How is that degrading my family name?
Is it really that hard to respect someone thats amongst the very best in the world at what they do?
You act like “sport” is a giant joke unworthy of respect yet you are obviously very involved in following sports?
I don’t get you at all man…
I don’t wear jerseys to work like Rob Ford, but when I’m in my own fortified basement watching a big game or going to a game live then yeah i do like wearing a jersey.
Soccer jerseys I’ve always preferred plain, NFL jerseys don’t exactly come that way.
CEOs as a hero? give me a break
Just ask yourself this question. Would that same person wear your name on the back of his shirt?
and respect for what?????? Playing a game? Really???? You will degregate yourself and your family name to show “respect” for a guy playing a sport.
I’d hate to see what you would do to “respect” people who actually deserve it.
This reminds of the time in middle school when the teacher went around the classroom asking all of the students, “who is your hero”? Many already in training mini-jock sniffers were replying with names of athletes. Instead of saying CEOs of publicaly traded companies 9at least those who increase stock value) or even teachers, firefighters and doctors, we had them saying athletes were their heros. Man, never was a day more evident where parents had failed their children than on that day in school.
Poglavnice,
You f’ing peder! You’ve been to the OAK and you didn’t let me know?! Koji ti je kurac?
@ Poglavnik – Well said. I was going to ignore his comment entirely. Misery loves company.
@Sude Mi
Just because Ziva is insecure about himself doesn’t mean you have to be too.
Nothing wrong with supporting people you respect.
^ ^
No I didnt.
Didn’t really have the means to make it happen back then.
Huge regret though.
Love visiting the old stadiums.
Not too many left now that were built before 2000.
@ Poglavnik – Did you ever go down to the old Veterans stadium?
NFL live game, jock-sniffer convention supreme! LOL
Just noticed you said Reggie White jersey.
That’s the jersey I used to wear to games but now i go a little more low pro and just try to enjoy the game quietly.
Sat way up in that endzone perch in Seattle wearing my White jersey a few years ago when we played the Shithawks. They were giving it to Eagles fans pretty hard but I got tons of pats on the back and “nice jersey” said to me. Seemed like people wearing Vick or Jackson were getting it the worst!
Yeah I’m normally decked out in Eagles gear when i go to games but I was a little intimidated going into Oakland. Also my girlfriend (who is a Raiders fan) was with me so I didn’t want her getting fucked with. If it was just me I could handle the abuse but I didn’t want to get in a fight if someone messed with her so I just wore a Cal hat (a little support for Desean and Mychal Kendricks).
Great crowd though!
Raiders fans and people in Oakland get a bad rep.
I’ve been there twice now and have never had a problem with anyone. I did feel like the whitest thing in that city when i was there but people were super nice and chatty.
Freddie Mitchell was an ass but at least he made that 4th and 26!
East coast, sorry.
@ Poglavnik – Nice, you got to catch that. My younger brother is a die hard Raiders fan and he was talking smack for a few weeks before that game. He told me that Pryor was going to torch us. I just kept quiet and waited for the game. I never even bragged as we kept racking up the yards and the points. His reactions to the game was just priceless.
I was upset that Chip never let Nick try and break the record. he could have set the record in the 3rd quarter.
I kept telling buddies for the past two years that I preferred Foles over Vick. Even last year towards the end of the year you could see he was a better pocket passer than Vick. Foles was just unfortunate because there were a few deflected balls for INTs. I am not saying he is a Franchise Quarterback, but I believe he is our best option. Only real problem he has is that he holds on to the ball way too long and takes way to many sacks.
You must have been terrified sitting in the black hole. That is the one crowd that intimidates me. I am over here on the west coast so I catch them when they come up to Buffalo. My cousin who is also an Eagles fan accompanied me 8 years ago when we seen them for the first time live. We both had our Reggie White jerseys on and when the Eagles started to take hold of the game all the Bills fans were throwing their garbage at us. Last time I wear an opposing jersey in an opposing stadium.
Favorite Eagle – Much like you, Dawkins is the first name that comes to mind. That suplex he laid out against the Skins was one of the greatest tackles ever !!
Least Favorite – Freddie Mitchell
I agree with you, most disappointing has to be Asomugha. It just never worked out. My brother even congratulated me when we signed him. We all thought we were getting the best cover corner in the NFL. I would have to list Jevon Kearse on the most disappointing as well. He was okay as an Eagle. However, I was expecting the Freak that played for the Titans.
^ ^
You do know your Eagles!
Randall Cunningham and Buddy Ryan’s D is what got me into them.
Favourite: Maybe Dawkins? Kind of an obvious one…
Least favourite: Might have to be Jason Babin.
A real asshole that I’ll always relate to the “dream team” years.
Most disappointing: Gotta be Asomugha although he seemed like a real good dude so I couldn’t really hate him.
I try to catch them once a year on the road when they come out West.
Went to the Oakland game this year and watched Foles throw 7 td’s!
Sat in the “Black Hole” incognito with my Cal hat on. 🙂
I like the Harold Carmichael reference !!
Favorite Eagle of all time? Least favorite?

@ Poglavnik – You’re and Eagles fan as well?
I have been supporting them since I was 8. Back when we had Reggie White and Jerome Brown. Man, what a defense we had back then under Buddy Ryan and Rick Kotite. Reggie White, Jerome Brown (sadly before he died), Seth Joyner, Clyde Simmons, Eric Allen, William Thomas, I could go on forever.
The Defense has never been the same since Jim Johnson died.
Fun part of these jerseys is that they need to customized on the back.
I am going with naša prezime numbers for the whole family!
The Grb is iconic and juxtaposed with the Brazilian seleceo will let the world know we are SPREMNI.
We produce one transcendent star then those jerseys will be sold to jock sniffers round the world!
Rebic – Kovacic are young talents that have a shot to be trancendent.
Fiorentina and Inter are need to show faith and go with them right now. Give them some belief and let them flourish.
I feel Bundesliga should be our spring board. Serie A is too paranoid.
i dont know what u guys are talking about, these jersey are great. I love the red back, and it will look so nice with the white lettering. Never liked the 2012 jerseys with the white backs, and red lettering.
Our world cup squad will make this jersey famous
when will nike and the saves officially come out and announce the kits to us I’m dying to see the away kits
Your Eagles!?!
Shit, an Arsenal fan, an Eagles fan, and Canadian!?
You are becoming cooler by the day my friend!
Yeah I can’t stand the midnight green either.
I miss the old kelly green.
Apparently Jeffrey Lurie’s wife was the one that made them change the uniforms when he bought the team. Ever since they split up a year or two a go I’ve been hoping for a return to the kelly greens.
@ Poglavnik – I know exactly what you are saying. I hated when my Eagles changed their uniforms. For me the checkers are classic just like the Dutch Oranje, Brasilian Yellow and Argentine sky blue and white stripes.
I don’t remember the 01’s having that much black. I’ve said this last time around, we need a 3rd kit, mostly black with the checkers, circa old psv. That would be dope
Am i the only one that likes the consistency with the design?!
Would you guys all like the Chicago Bears, or Cleveland Browns, or L.A. Lakers to change their jersey’s every 2 – 4 years?
It’s fine the way it is.
All I give a shit about are the results and that the checkers are always prominent in the design.
Exactly as I predicted. Nike issues another cookie-cutter design. At least they went back to a darker red but bled out the sleeves a bit much. Have a feeling the away shirt will be blue with a…wait for it… horizontal checkered bar. “Budi Ponosan?” how about “Za Dom”.
Here’s a shirt I thought looked like it could have had a HNS logo slapped on it:
http://www.kckrs.com/6-qpr-third-strip-11-12/
I think it looks good.
I’m calling for Adidas to sponsor Cro or even Puma with a funky giant grb motif like they had done with their national shirts at the last couple of World Cups. (i.e. Ivory Coast big ass elephant featured, Ghana giant star, etc…)
@Ante B
Totally agree!
Coincidence that we had some of our best games in those shirts?
Seville kits are also made by warrior
I like it, its original and classic, i was watching this espn thing one time a few years back and i think charles barkley and another commentator voted the our jersey the best one out of the bunch, i mean thats how people know us by and im sticking with it, i will be getting mines real soon 🙂
Livaja is only 20 ronaldo is selfish crap and captain of portuval livaja is no ronaldo but see. Man imagine a rebic livaja halilovic attatck haaa selfish at its best.
We don’t need selfish guys representing the country.
Livaja is croatian balotelli haaa but i dont want him to fail needs to grow up.
Have to admit, Livaja had a ncie assist. But, then he went into selfish mode again. While histeammates were celebrating with the goal scorwer, the inked wonder went the other way to celebrate his own pass.
He is trully a player that I hope fails.
Radosevic started and played the full 90 minutes in Napoli’s cup game vs Atalanta, where Livaja also played 90 min. Radosevic played well in DM, completed almost all of his passes, making several tackles and interceptions, and drawing fouls. He also managed a couple of shots which were blocked. Livaja was the most active player for Atalanta, and while he did lose the ball quite a bit, he also assisted Atalanta’s only goal.
Two games off the bench and now a complete 90 mins in the Copa for Josip Radosevic. Hopefully, this is the beginning of him being integrated into the squad.
Benitez publicly said in the preseason that Radosevic was part of his plans. One can only hope that this was his vision all along.
Napoli is has been constantly linked to DMs in the transfer market. Mixed signals about this club. Inler may be on the move, which should create some playing time.
@ Chupe – The kid is in for a rude awakening when he joins his next club and the veteran players let him know who runs the show.
@ Petar he told me when he played that you could not foul him and never gave the ball when in space. Great skill but too much razmazen,
@ Chupe – I was reading about his contract negotiations with Tottenham and some of the demands being made by he and his father seemed to indicate that this kid is a diva.
its good Modric is off dont want him burned
@ Petar hes ok really dont know hes on loan from rijeka to the club beacuse rijekas owner owns that club hes ok but nothing special.
My other cousin played with Halilovic in Dinamo and against him says hes a little spoiled piece of shit deriste.
Ancelotti already confirmed the other day that today would be a routine day off for Modric in the Copa del Rey.
@ Chupe – What did your cousin have to say about him? Worth keeping an eye on for the future? Perhaps a squad player one day?
@ Petar my cousin played with him in Dalmatinac crno.
@ Chupe – Every site seems to spell his name differently. I was pretty confused.
@ Petar it is Antonini your were right the first time.
@ Majstore – That color of burgundy always makes for a great shirt.
@ Ziva – You missed it !! Great solo shot up and close of Livaja and both his arms tatted.
My appologies, *Antonio Culina*
Perhaps, either way their away kits for next year look pretty slick IMO
http://m.worldsoccertalk.com/worldsoccertalk/#!/entry/as-roma-home-and-away-shirts-for-201415-season-from,52aa23f7025312186c9eaab3
Antonini Cullina and Mislav Orsic both played for Spezia today in their loss to Milan.
@ Majstore – The Rep could have been talking out of his ass really. I just assumed he knew what he was talking about.
I was lucky to get the new Roma jersey in the summer just outside the stadium for only 30 bucks. A little promo they were doing for Totti. I guess now I am a jocksniffer.
@ Armada – Thank you !! I always used Subside.co.uk
@ Majstore – I was speaking to the North American rep for Kappa and he told me that Warrior Athletics was taking Roma over. Also told me that both Kappa and Diadorra are now severely restricted within North America.
@ Ziva – I do not know what Nike.com is using as the excuse. Adidas does offer free shipping for orders over $40. So, really they have no excuse at all. If they will absorb a small loss for greater exposure than they have no excuse at all.
@ Nepoznat – You are correct. Both are starting. Great to see !!
Is everything okay with “Nije Bitno”? Haven’t seen him online in awhile.
Great goal for Napoli.
Got a tip from Xtratime that both Radosevic and Livaja are starting against each other in Coppa Italia. Here is a stream (game starts in @10min I think):
http://www.rojadirecta.me/goto/www.solocalciolive.org/canal3/rojadirecta3.html
@dragi – Hell yeah. This http://www.onionbag.com/detail.aspx?id=5438
Warrior makes soccer jerseys now? Never really noticed. They’ve been around for a while making hockey equipment. I’ve been using their sticks on and off for years.
I haven’t bought a new Croatia jersey since 2008. Never really needed to, as they pretty much all look the same. Though, I’d buy 100 of them if we’d wear that dutch team’s jersey – The black one with the red/white checks that go from the shoulder to the bottom? Looks so rad. It’s basically this, just black –
http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/wc2006/groups/im/CRO_02.gif
Best away jersey for us in my opinion too.
Also its hard to do a croatia kit beacuse the number cannot be seen by ref and officials at game, the 1998 kits the lotto ones which everyone loves those somehow FIFA let us play in those you cannot see number on jersey also. no matter who does the kits its hard to do one beacuse of the number thing unless both kits dont have alot of checkers on it.
someone please find or sell me a 1996 Away Jersey! Prefer no name/number but I’m not Ziva and would take one with someone elses name
*In long sleeve
@ Petar
looks like the have the 08 away, 12 away, 12 home, 06 away and 06 away
http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/international-teams/european/croatia.html
Oh for fuck sake. Who the fuck cares as long as there’s checkers there. The shirts are ugly as dog shit. The back side looks like a fricken kilt.
Blue with the checkered pattern at 45 degrees and be done with it. Nike can go fuck themselves, stupid twats.
Regardless of what we’re wearing, the boys need to bring their A game. Do that, win and move on to the next one.
Since it’s Brazil I hope Corluka doesn’t get Aids and our rooms don’t get burglarized.
AS Roma do not have anyone making their kits this season (they did a pretty good job on their own this season actually), but are with nike starting next season.
Also the warrior Liverpool kits have to be some of the ugliest things I have ever seen.
Best away: 98 blue
Best home: 96 Lotto
First that I have ever heard about Nike not shipping to Canada. Is it a Nike issue or is it a Canadian govt. tax issue.
Roma is also with Warrior
Yup, Adidas now.
Would you have an explanation as to why Nike will not ship to Canada? Canadians on average spend more money on the Internet than any other Nation in the world.
Warrior is new, i doub they have more marketshare than any of those. Could be a different story a few years down the road. But, outside of Liverpool, who else has Warrior.
Kappa, Lotto, Diadora and Puma are all more popular in Europe than they are in the US.
@ Ziva – I believe the Danes are no longer with Hummel.
Warrior Athletics seems to be gaining market share. They seem to have surpassed Lotto, Puma, Diadora and Kappa.
Actually, Nike would manufacture the gear if it wasn’t profitable. As long as its not a big loss. The reason Nike sponsors smaller nations is to increase visibility and awareness of the brands in those countries. They are willing to take a loss on the jerseys if it results in increased orders for other Nike products. While the jersey sales may be stagnat, other gear is selling in Cro. It is the same reason Nike sponsors small colleges. No chance they make their money back on that, but they do so for the increased visibility and marketing awareness. Same thing here with Cro.
Reason Denmark goes with hummel is because they get a great deal from Hummel and because it is a Danish company.
I meant to say too that where I live the jerseys use to sell quite quickly however that has slowed down now….when I asked the people who work at the sports stores why, they say its probably because the jersey looks to similar from one tournament to the next.
Thanks for the reminder that we have pretty much seen this jersey before. Is there any point in buying this one though? I mean if you have previous shirts you are pretty much covered.
If the team does well…..thats another story then.
@ Armada – Yeah, been around the other sites and all they had was the 2002 jersey in long sleeve. I always hated that jersey.
@ Ziva – I’m quite sure that for the size of the relative market we do quite well. If Nike wasn’t happy with the figures then I am sure we would be like the Danes and have had Hummel designing our gear for years. I also assume that the fact we had a very good run in making major tournaments also helps with Croatia/Nike exposure. I know some would snicker and say that Nike doesn’t need further exposure. I guess the underlying theme is that Nike wouldn’t manufacture the gear if it wasn’t profitable for them. For goodness sakes, Nike.com won’t even ship to Canada because it is not profitable enough for them.
Nikica deal is done. Hopefully he gets his form back.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02H2AOivO5g
LOL @ that Kentucky fan…
imagine if someone in Cro had a picture of Ciro tattooed on themselves?!
It probably moves quickly because hrvati are buying them and hrvati live in the area.
You know here it doesn’t move quickly??? In areas where there are no hrvati. I’m willing to bet the jersey doesn’t sell all that well in Dallas, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Tulsa, Miami, etc…….and the jersey does sell well in Chicago, Toronto, etc…
I’ve seen the numbers from Nike on the sales. Its good for a country of 4.5 million people, but nothing spectacular.
But nowhere near what Adidas sells with Mexico. The reason???? Because there are more Mexicans on the planet than hrvati and Mexicans buy jerseys at a much higher rate than any other population.
@ Petar
Look on eBay and kit sites (classicfootballshirts.uk, subsude, uksoccershop, etc.) for long sleeve varieties. I remember seeing some Cri training gear for cold weather too.
Great jersey. I am still waiting for a Croatia jersey that is available in long sleeves. It be cold in Canada this winter !!
In all seriousness, only so much you can do with a checker pattern. I have my doubts about Zivas claim that the jersey doesn’t generate enough sales. A few of my friends and associates own Football shops. They are all Italian and they always tell me that the Croatian gear moves quickly.
Friends, here is another example of what happens when you jock sniff too much. This idiot decided to get dirty ink on his head as a form of honoring his favorite team.

There is no doubt he is cocky, and I can see where people might get their noses out of joint but as you say, generally when you can produce the goods I will give you a pass.
@sude mi………I’ve heard the same about Jozak, but I have also heard others say he is a bit to cocky (but I guess you can be when you have the results he has had). Some have said the savez has given him too much power in the selection process with the youth. I guess time will tell.
’96 away kit is still an all time fav of mine.
http://i.imgur.com/scScbJB.png
Looks similar to the ’91 kits. Can’t say I am displeased with the new ones, there is only so much one can do with the traditional checkered kit IMO.
Curious to see what the away ones look like.
this.
http://www.onionbag.com/detail.aspx?id=5438
It is pretty amazing as usually in most sports organizations, if there is rot at the top it usually translates down to everything.
Dinamo is unique this way, but I’ll be curious to see over the next few years if things continue without the guiding hand of Romeo Jozak. I was priviliged to sit in on a meeting he hosted for Mississauga Croatia a few years back, and I can tell you he was VERY impressive. Let’s see if his replacement can keep that conveyor belt chugging along.
I do agree with Ziva, it would have been neat to see what these players could have done in a top notch club with talented people from coaching to management; run properly and allowed to play to their utmost in Europe.
We’ll never know. Sad.
Good read……..
But, if I am Dinamo fan, its all kind of meaningless. Winning Cro league titles means zero when you can’t make even a small impact in European play. Just imagine what Dinamo could have done in Europe if they had any sort of leadership at the coaching position. Its not unrealistic to believe they could have made it into the final 16 of the Europa Cup and won a few more games in the Champions League.
Dinamo Zagreb’s conveyor belt of talent:

Its tough to say……our Checker Jerserys ARE Iconic. Its how even someone who doesn’t watch soccer could see our boys on the field…(and unless they’re completely clueless to the world) they would know THATS THE CROATIAN TEAM.
Clearly Nike hasn’t been very “creative” with it but …if we asked them to be overly creative then they might screw it up to the point where everyone would be like….”Damn, they should have just had the red & white checkers”
The away Jersey usually gives them a little more leeway to play around with it, so I’m more curious about that one…and to see if that one will have any creativity to it. (but knowing Nike, it will probably be very plain as well)
Adidas would probably design the shirts the same…but just have the Adidas three stripes on the arms in red or something.
I prefer the Adidas handball jerseys we have worn over the years.
these kits remind me of our first kits from 1990

Personally, I suspect Nike’s inability to come up with anything really new is probably owing to the Savez. It is seen now as an iconic jersey and Nike no doubt is told to not mess with it.
Personally, I would have liked to have seen them stay with a mostly white checkered jersey and then bring in a third jersey that is all red, and go with a look of red, white and blue on certain occasions.
Just my two cents, needless to say it will look really good in the opening match vs. Brazil regardless.
@Adame……..why. What has you so angry?
@ Ziva Istina
i disagree, we had some nice jersey:

and ziva shut up.
numbers and names will be blue?
a good tournament solves all:
-a bad frizura
-a big mac issue
-trouble speaking the language
😉
Prefer the red dominating the back. Know what’s gonna make a jersey ‘great’ for us?
A nice run if we can make it out the groups.
That’s why kits like the ’98 Lotto and ’08 Nike are revered. Both WC 1998 and Euro 2008 were memorable tournaments for us and everyone. People tie those kits to the memories from those tournaments.
Nike will never put a “great” jersey for Cro. Why???? Money. We simply don’t sell much of the jersey. There is no incentive. This is not like Mexico and Adidas. I don’t like what the mexican jersey looks like, but Adidas always changes it around. Why??? Because the Mexican jersey is the number one seller in the world.

Prvi put nakon ‘Za dom spremni skandala’ Josip Šimunić stao je pred novinarski mikrofon. Dogodilo se to nakon utakmice Široki – Dinamo 0-1, a Joe je za portal javno.ba samo kratko rekao:
Ništa o tome za sada neću reći, dobio sam savjet da o tome ne govorim i zato još uvijek po tom pitanju šutim. Ovo je moj prvi medijski istup nakon tih događaja i još nije vrijeme da o tome javno diskutiram. Ubrzo će šira javnost sve saznati što imam za reći. Ovom bih prilikom još jednom pozdravio sve navijače i Dinama i hrvatske reprezentacije u Širokom Brijegu i čitavoj Bosni i Hercegovini, a o svemu ostalome kada dođe vrijeme za nešto takvo – rekao je Šimunić kojeg je FIFA kaznila s deset utakmica.
I really like the Nike’s jersey, expect the last home shirt.
For me, Nike offers to us some nice shirt:

A real inspiration guiding a young Croat into manhood.
Reading his posts it is probably closer to 13th birthday that needs to be acknowledged and celebrated.
@Soul Champ-I have not been the best dad recently as I have not role modelled enough recently,but I will get him one for his upcoming 15th birthday.The name on the back will be “Ante #1” of course. 😉
@ Ziva’s dad
Good point.
Will your son order one with a number and “jock sniffer” prezime ?
I for one will order with number and naša prezime for the family.
The full red needs a name and number in white to balance it out.
May have a nice effect?
Hey,its basically traditional and not messed with too much, which is what most people like.Dont forget that the red back will be “softened”a little with a white number.I can picture it now in the opening match against Brazil,where the checkers will be on world display.
While I like the red sleeves, it still feels very unoriginal. I wish Nike had tried something like what they did with the Dutch jersey: http://www.uksoccershop.com/images/holland-away-shirt-2013-14.jpg.
A bit anticlimactic, however could have been worse I suppose. Would like to see the other shirt as well.
