Advantages: A nice looking, comfortable football shirt
Disadvantages: The 'Fly Emirates' lettering has started to peel off on my shirt!

...I first saw the new Arsenal shirt in a newspaper a couple of weeks before the new season started. I thought that it looked pretty good. It looked a lot different from the previous season, and this is mainly because they use two very different main colours in the shirts. In the previous season, Arsenal wore the redcurrant shirt, but with this shirt, they have gone back to the traditional red and white colours on the shirt. I saw the shirt being modelled by a few Arsenal players in a poster, and it was this that made me want to buy it. It just looked so cool, and also back then I was a huge Arsenal fan, so I dipped into my pocket money savings and went to the nearest JJB store and bought it. DESIGN/PARTS OF THE SHIRT The shirt has a very good design. The shirt has a sort of collar shaped line around the edge of the neckline... Read review

Advantages: great price looks and comfort
Disadvantages: last seasons shirt (but little difference to the new one)

...I have only been living in Portsmouth for just over a year now after moving down here from Southend in Essex. I have always been a true Southend fan and used to attend matches regularly each weekend as well as traveling up and down the country to see many of their away matches everywhere from Bournemouth to Swansea. Yet since living in Portsmouth I have been following the team quite closely and have been interested in how they have been doing and in a way I am kind of supporting them. Of course I remain a real Southend fan and they are still my number 1 team, with Portsmouth being th premiership team I support. Which is quite useful as when people ask who I support and I say Southend they then ask who I support in the premiership and I can now say Portsmouth. Well now onto the shirt. I recently decided I would like to buy... Read review

Advantages: STYLISH YET SIMILAR COLOURS TO OLD SHIRTS - QUALITY PRODUCTION
Disadvantages: MAN CITY BADGE OF LEFT HAND SIDE CAN IRRITATE THE LEFT NIPPLE

...As an avid Manchester City supporter from as far as I can remember I have owned every seasons home shirt and even picked up a few away shirts en route. The only problem I could find with this shirt is on the inside left hand side of the shirt - the back of the badge which irritates the nipple when running or jogging or imitating your favourite City players. The shirt has a sleek round neck design with white and black bands around the shoulder area. The front and back of the shirt has a small detail to it which makes it stand out but I must admit it stands out more when your outside in the wet. It can also been seen up close when you get your shirt out of the washing machine as its machine washable also after that muddy days football! Another small problem I occured with the shirt although this is not the manufacturers fault as I... Read review

Advantages: Quality, style, excellent customer service
Disadvantages: None

...Charles Tyrwhitt (pronounced "Tirit"!) are renowned for making tailored shirts for men (and more recently women). Their flagship store is in London's Jermyn Street, off Piccadilly, but they also provide a mail order and internet service. CT pride themselves on quality and customer service and both these factors are very evident. I originally went to the store to buy a shirt for my brother. At apx £50 a shirt, they are expensive. However, the quality is second to none, and my brother (someone less fussy about his clothes than me) said he was hugely impressed - and that it was the best shirt he'd ever worn. A huge bonus was that the shirt also came with a FREE silk tie (worth £35) - so this made the shirt a worthwhile purchase. Whilst at the store, I espied the limited range of women's shirts on offer. I managed to refrain (at... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, warm, large pockets
Disadvantages: Bulky

...HOW I KNOW BUFFALO: I have been a qualified mountaineering instructor in the military for 15 years and have seen many new 'concepts' for mountain shirts come and go. However, you'll not beat the BUFFALO© mountain shirt. Buffalo make a range of mountaineering clothing/gear for men and women that is warm, comfortable, practical and, dare I say, stylish! Their gear is suitable for a variety of outdoor pursuits, such as winter mountaineering, climbing, hill walking, mountain biking etc. I have also worn mine whilst canadian canoeing, snowboarding, sailing, kite flying and shopping in Edinburgh! All their products are designed to perform in extreme weather conditions Eg. temperatures less than 1°C, strong winds, driving rain, you know the score, but still perform well in milder conditions. BACKGROUND: Buffalo originally developed... Read review

Advantages: light material, a good colour scheme, neat design
Disadvantages: feels cheap, expensive, hard to wash

...I was bought the Barcalona football shirt as a present it is made by Nike and I would expect a good quality from this brand. Not so the shirt is feather light and is very hard to wash, on the tab in the shirt it says dont not lay ontiself after washing, wash with same colours and do not use softeners,probably because the colours may run into each other. Also you are not supposed to iron this shirt, for a couple of reasons one it may melt and two could stick to your iron, it has a very plasticy feel. I also read on the tab it says keep away from fire!, without doubt we do this with all our clothes, but I find myself thinking this shirt would melt very very easily. The material is more plasticy/nylon/polyester than anything probably to aid the lightness but it isnt very durable, it could rip easy as we see many times watching... Read review

Advantages: Last years kit but only £10!
Disadvantages: Not the newest kit!

...to be the Reebok kit featured in this reviw. Whilst I will review that specific kit I feel it is needed to review football kits in general also! The Kit This kit is very nice. If you have seen the latest away shirt you will know it is completely different and no longer made by Reebok. This kit has a very simple colour scheme that I love. It has a charcoal mesh like material as the main colour. The underarms are white and there is a traditional sky blue trim. The collar is also white. The quality of the material is very good. As of yet I have no pulls or tears in it and I have been active in it for over a year! The mesh has a very subtle pattern in it that makes it very original. I like how its no the most obvious thing in the world but still gives it a superior look compared to a shirt without the effect. It is a very lightweight shirt... Read review

Advantages: Looks Good, Shows your Support, Nice to wear
Disadvantages: Poor Quality Lettering, See Review

...I was bought from JJB, the Ladies England Home shirt for my birthday in October 05. My fiance had J Cole 11 printed on it by JJB. I was delighted with the present and loved the feel of it. The material is great, the cut is very flattering for ladies and I was proud of the shirt, especially with the name of my favourite international on the back. I washed the shirt by hand and I noticed little blue bits from the lettering had gone onto the white shirt. The problem wasn't that bad and I expected it to come out in the next wash so I didn't complain to JJB at the time. I hardly wore the shirt as I was saving it for the World Cup. In March 06 I noticed the blue bits on the white shirt were getting worse and in fact the colour from the lettering had run so much that even if I just wore the shirt the colour would run, therefore I...

Advantages: Ultra light - great for all occasions
Disadvantages: Spurs wording fades on the collar very quickly

...Ok, first things first, I have no idea why this is listed as a Kappa kit. It is made by Puma as Kappa made the older Thomsons kit. Right, now thats out of the way, on with the review. Being a Spurs fan since 1981 I've had numerous kits down the years from manufacturers including Le Coq Sportif, Hummel, Adidas, Umbro and Kappa. All of these shirts at the time seemed great but only when newer styles come out do you realise the design flaws in them (the Kappa one for example was skin tight which looks great on a skinny Aaoron Lennon but not so on anyone like me with a bit of a porky belly). Anyway, I decided to treat myself to the new Puma-Mansion kit in April of this year. We had had a good season and it had been a couple of years since I had bought the home shirt. Being the end of the season I had a right game trying to locate... Read review
