Most away team in friendlies last night wore that kit.
Fuppin Nike will make money out of anything.....:p
It didin't have any brown or yellow either - imagine my outrage (cue: woman in clontarf ) :)
Think it was a great idea to play in black and white. Didn't see any of the Eng Hol game but did Holland do the same & was it the same kit as Portugal?
Would be nice if Nike put the shirts on sale as I would like to get my hands on one.
Thought the kits were terrible.. but for a good cause so I suppose can't really complain.. Was hard to pick players out at times with it on... Whold Man Utd Grey Jersey thing again
thought the kit was quite nice actually.but nike got it totally wrong when trying to portray a sense of equality.the shorts were completely black,i think black and white shorts would have been more appropriate along with one sock white and the other black.
I read something about Gary Neville voicing complaints about
Nike using the anti racism card to get publicity.
In the warm up before Man U Arsenal game himself and 3 others
refused to wear the training tops because of it.
He was also on about Terry Henry and Ronildhino doing anti racism
press conferences and mentioning Nike every so often!
(Only half read it so mightnt be fully accurate)
Oh, and the ref's choice of kit for last nights match was terrible.
Hard to tell the difference between it and the Portugal keepers kit
Agreed. Lost count of times i thought Portugese player had dummied the ball. Also i think Portugese player played a one-two off the ref in the 2nd half.Quote:

See, now that's a quality troll.
No that can't be said.the whole point of the kit last night was to show there support for the anti-racism campaign.think they were sending out the wrong message though.Quote:

Good point.
I think i am going to take this further, considering writing to nike to outline my view on their so called anti-racism campaign that is not making any sense to me.Maybe they should review their Human Resource manager and their team in the advertising and marketing department.
Ask them about some of their more questionable employment practices in the Far East while you are at it.....;)Quote:

Is the kit on sale yet, if not the cynic (realist!?) in me says its only a matter of time. :rolleyes: ;)
The shirts worn by the players are to be auctioned off, there's your chance! :)
50 cents in production for €100 shoes. Where can I go and work for this shower? :rolleyes: Betcha it ain't Long Island that they're paying those wages. :mad:Quote:
