Maybe thats what you're missing ChrisO. Nike does a good job this year but the portugal shirt isn't very promising. It could be a good design for Morocco though. France always has good shirts and the England shirt is a victim of high expectations. The korea kit.. ai..ai..ai.. Tom, Thanks for the Football shirt culture tag.

It looks very '80's' and smart with it, but I feel it lacks a certain something. Not quite sure what though! As for the new France (2nd) and Portugal shirts, again they look smart but don't seem to have any real spark to them. It's something that they have in common with the welter of Puma strips currently on show at the African Nations Cup - style in subdued form. Oh and thanks for telling me about the new England 2nd strip - I saw it here first! To be honest, I noticed a 'coming soon' image on the FA's website that suggested the kit was being launched on February 12th, so I feel justified in feeling so surprised that it came to light a week earlier. If you go here, you'll get a clearer view of it... http://englandstore.thefa.com/stores/fa/default.aspx?portal=D4N4C664 I’m not quite sure what to make of that USA shirt!
