Atlético Madrid 09/10 Home Jersey

Atlético de Madrid 09/10 Home Jersey de Fútbol

The other Madrid club, not Galacticos but Colchoneros, the one minus all the big spending, has a new home jersey out, and we're glad to have it here.

The new shirt looks very similar to the ones before it, as it shows the traditional ‘rojiblanco’ red and white stripes, yet there are some differences that true fans surely would've already noticed.

1. Crest: It has been modified in several ways: the number of stripes has been increased, and are therefore thinner, with the central part of the front of the jersey being red. This change is to get closer to the beginnings of the Atleti vest. 2. Collar: After several years, the return of the red polo-style, fold-over collar. The Spanish flag will remain on the back of the collar.
3. Inscription: The inscription on the inside of the collar has changed from ‘Bendita afición’ (‘Blessed fans’) to ‘Espíritu de superación’ (‘Overcoming spirit’).
4. Label: Finally, a small label appears the side with ‘Atlético de Madrid’ on one side and ‘1903’, the year in which the Club was founded, on the other.

What do the Premier League and Serie A Have in Common?

Besides both losing two of the top soccer stars in the world to Real Madrid, both top leagues in Europe will be kicking the new Ascente Ball from Nike!

Nike Total 90 Ascente Premier League Soccer Ball

Nike Total90 Ascente Lega Calcio Soccer Ball (White/Varsity Red/Silver)


I'm not sure what 'ascente' means (maybe ascent in Italian or Portuguese, relating to the flight of the ball). Regardless, this ball will be flying all over England in 09/10 as it will be kicked by every Barclays Premier League player next season.

Some of the technical things that make this premium match ball worthwhile, besides having the PL and Nike logos

Geometric precision distributes pressure evenly across panels and around the ball for a consistent, accurate and powerful strike no matter where you strike it. Perfectly spherical for true flight.

COVER: Compressed polyethylene that absorbs energy and releases it at launch. Cross-linked nitrogen-expanded foam for exceptional shape retention. Polyester support fabric for durability.

BLADDER: Six-wing carbon latex for explosive acceleration. FIFA approved.

New Ajax 09/10 Home Soccer Jersey

I really don't like it much when shirts force me to do research, though the end result is enlightenment (and/or passing on useless trivia to the masses). In any case, I looked for the unique aspects of this shirt, as I compared The Ajax 09/10 Home Soccer Jersey to last season's Ajax Amsterdam home shirt. Ajax is one of those teams whose home jerseys are famous, which means they change little from season to season. Thus, besides the new V-neck, fold-over (polo-style) collar, the jersey is much like the previous one, including the well-known red strip down the center, with the same AEGON sponsor logo on the center. Now, here's the new and hence what required a little digging: on the upper back, the shirt features what I found out was the Amsterdam coat of arms, which I had an idea upon looking at it, as most coat of arms (why?) show fiery lions looking menacing. So, as promised, a few fun facts about fair Amsterdam's coat of arms:

The coat of arms of Amsterdam is the official symbol of the city of Amsterdam. It consists of a red shield and a black pale with three silver Saint Andrew's Crosses, the Imperial Crown of Austria, two golden lions, and the motto of Amsterdam. Several heraldic elements have their basis in the history of Amsterdam. The crosses and the crown can be found as decorations on different locations in the city. About the motto: During the 1941 February strike in Amsterdam, for the first time in Europe non-Jewish people protested against the prosecution of Jews by the Nazi regime. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands wanted to remember the role of the citizens of Amsterdam during World War II and created a motto consisting of the Dutch words "Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig", meaning "Valiant, Steadfast, Compassionate". On March 29, 1947, Wilhelmina presented the motto as part of the coat of arms of Amsterdam to the city government.
