World Cup of Shirts - The Final!!!

[crodonilson]

After two weeks of competition we are now left with two, between the home of football and a country in the host continent...

England, after a famous victory over arch rivals Argentina in the Semi Finals are looking to end 44 years of hurt and underachievement, against Ivory Coast, the first African nation to reach the final of the World Cup.

England

I love the Ivory Coast kit, it certainly shows off the best of the Puma Africa template, the Elephant motif is great and the shade of orange is gorgeous. Although, you need to be a bit ripped to carry it off, with the mesh bits.

I like the simplicity of the England shirt. It is everything a football shirt needs to be, no more, no less. Putting aside my national pride, I still think it is great especially given England's rich recent tradition for producing horrible over-fussy kits.

The England shirt isn't my favourite in the competition, but its sheer simplicity and retro feel very marginally swings it for me - the England shirt loooks especially good with the scroll uner the crest - nice touch.

Ivory Coast. The England one is still shite and should never have got out of the group stage.

 

[crodonilson]

It's a fitting final between two different shirts, the simplicity and classical look of the England kit against the flair and futuristic look of the Ivory Coast.

The colour orange should be reserved for tic tacs and Holland, it has no place anywhere else.

The Ivory Coast shirt is brilliant. BUT, a template kit just can't win, it just isn't flair.

England.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

The English one has bosoms, the Ivory Coast one doesn't.
The English one wins.

As BOF said, England has got this far because it's England, if it was any other country's shirt it wouldn't have got out the groups. It's simply boring.
Ivory Coast for me, although the rightfull winner is Argentina .


Rant over.

 

[Mellotron]

Completely original, classy and stylish or Template Kit in a nasty shade of Orange. Hmm.

 

[Simster]

England? I really didn't realise we had so many chavs on here.

Three lions over the elephant.

i honestly think, without bias, that the england shirt is the finest example in the tournament.

if it was blue and had an italy badge on it i would vote for it, it's umbro at their very best, producing a ground-breaking shirt, probably the most important since the cameroon all-in-one, and the new bench mark for epic kit design the world over.

i voted ivory all the way through though, and pleased it got to the final, but as mentioned, it's just the best example of the puma africa template.

Your Argentina shirt lost, just like they lost the Falklands, get over it Evita!

 

[Dirk lovelace]

Classic, pure and simple v loud, orange and over-decorated.

It's like Keira Knightley v Katie Price.

England for me, thank you very much.

(P.S. I'm not English)
