Would probabally go for a few Bangkok rip offs mate. For a 100 bucks you could get around 200 shirts. 100% cotton at that. Still I’m sure Mr. Levy appreciates your loyalty and dedication.

Ken- 24 Spurs shirts in 4 years… wow. My entire collection is up to 22, about 18 of which have been procured over the past 3 years. The most I have for any single team is 5 (Milan.) Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do!

Richard- I don’t know how the Roma shirts fit, but they definitely LOOK like the fitted type. Kappa made the Italian jerseys for the ‘02 world cup, and those were a bit snug. Looked fine on them, but made me very self conscious… It looks like Kappa has kept the cut for the current Roma shirts.

As for the white nat’l team jersey, it only grew on me after seeing the team wearing them. The gold trim on and under the collar is a bit much for me. I prefer the simple, cleaner look of the previous jersey. My favorite nat’l team jersey up to this point is a 4-star black jersey w/ Pirlo 21 on it. It’s an authentic puma jersey I found on an ebay store in Portugal. Haven’t seen them play in the black jerseys, though…

Dave, I’m not really enamored by the 07/08 Milan kit either. There’s just an overload of red on it, and the black box on the front that houses the bwin logo just sucks. I’ll admit, it looks a ton better with the name and number on it though.

How do the 07/08 Roma shirts fit? It’s really hard to shell out 100 bucks on a shirt you can’t try on, as there are no soccer stores in my area that sell anything other then Adidas or Nike. I wear an XL, but should the shirt be really form fitting I don’t want to end up looking as if I’m going clubbing every time I wear it….

I bought my brother the white away Italy shirt for Christmas. He didn’t like it, I tried it and also wasn’t digging it. The new home shirt does look nice though! Perhaps with Pirlo on back? Not sure.

Ken,
Good to know there are crazy Spurs fans in Australia too! Gotta watch out with some of those eBay shirts, I know from experience that you get what you pay for!

I couldn’t bring myself to buy the 2007-2008 Milan home jersey- I don’t like the amount of red vs black in it. I just HAD to get the away (Oddo 44) and third jersey (blank) to fill the void…

I also applied Gattuso 8 to my last generation Milan jersey- gave the shirt new life!

The Roma jerseys are NICE! Especially the black one they wear for the CL games.

The next jerseys I’m investing in will be Italian national team jerseys- Euro’s only 3 months away! Didn’t like the white away one at first, but it’s grown on me, and I had no choice but to get it. I’m really digging the blue one. Only difficult part is deciding whose name and number to put on.

Richard- have you ever started a thread related to shirt/scarf collecting?

Four Spurs shirts this year, a white away Paolo Maldini shirt after the CL win, the Inter home shirt as mentioned above and this years home Milan shirt…. I’ve also gotten into the habit of putting the names and numbers on myself. My road blue Spurs shirt now has Robbie Keane’s name and number on it and my Milan shirt now has Gattuso on it (that shirt demands a name and number on back though, or else it’s just a big blank red spot)… to be honest it’s pretty fun to apply the names and numbers myself…. So anyway, seven shirts in the past year, and I have to be honest, I’ve been eying this years AS Roma with Totti on back for months!

No shame in buying so many, but no cure either! I’m a milan fan, but have bought the Tottenham away shirt because I think it’s beautiful. I’ll eventually have to get my hands on the home shirt, but there are others in line before that one.
