Pakisan vs Malaysia (0-2, after 1st leg) ....

All the best to our boys as they seek to emulate the team of 1980, who qualified to the Moscow Olympics, but had to go on a world tour instead, sent by the government ....

One step at a time >>> Lets overcome the Pakistan team, and then concentrate on the next match ... one thing for sure, the Harimau Malaya fans will be there at the stadium cheering for u!

Tradition Continues ...

Every October 5th is my birthday. Since I was 28 (I think) I have been getting a shirt printed with corresponding age number ... :) It's 41 this year, hence, this white Adidias plain shirt, good for futsal perhaps, with the word 'Libra' in front (go figure...)

Thank you Allah for this life ...

Manchester City (1997/98) home shirt - first by Kappa for them.

I remember this was the 1st Kappa shirt I went ga-ga about ...

If Cameron Highlands has a football team, this could be their home & away jerseys :)

Found the 2 shirts (with Cameron Highlands embroidery) at a souvenir shop in Tanah Rata, one of the main towns there. Made by unknown Vono Sport.I had the jerseys printed with Cameron Highlands on the chest and numbers/names at the back. Thompson is a tribute to Jim Thompson, the American businessman who revitalized Thai silk & textiles industry in the 50s & 60s. He mysteriously disappeared while talking a walk in Cameron Highlands on March 26th, 1967. Russell is a tribute to J.A.Russell, the British businessman who founded the world-famous Boh Tea plantation there. The plantation is a must-visit if you go to Cameron Highlands.

So, can we have a Cameron Highlands FC? Gonna ask the folks at the local town council there...

Long live 'The Temptations' ...
I may love The Temptations' music but I am not about to give in to one (er..temptation) when it comes to buying shirts these days...times are bad, so you have to be mindful when deciding to buy or not to buy..

It is then that I proudly announced that in my recent 2 weeks trip in UK, I only spend some of my British Sterling notes to buy 3 shirts.. They are :

1) England current away shirt by Umbro. A nice, clean red top, made in China and all. A real snip at GBP 4.49. That works out to about RM 24 in my country's currency. Now that's what I call a bargain. BTW, in Malaysia at the Studio R sports shop in Sunway Pyramid, this very shirt is tagged at RM 249.

2) Leeds United FC current home shirt featuring its main man, Jermaine Beckford's name & number. On sale at the club shop at GBP 20, I added the name & number for some additional Pounds. May we see Leeds in the premierships again someday. That's a nice statue of Leeds legend, Billy Bremner outside the club shop.

3) York City FC current home shirt by Nike. This is an actual shirt worn previously by its former player, Jimmy Beadle (now at Whitby Town FC). Note the signature on the number at the back. Infos came straight from the club shop's manager. Note of thanks to my Garmin sat-nav for guiding me to this club in the city of York, not far from Leeds.

2009-03-16T13:30:00.005+08:00

Sheffield Wednesday home shirt from 1997. Nice collar work from Puma. Des Walker was one of the Owls' most loyal servant, played many times for England too. An all around hard working defender, that's Des!

2009-03-16T13:06:00.006+08:00

Kop's 'God' white away shirt from 1998/99

The away shirt from the 98/99 season worn by the likes of Fowler, Owen, Matteo, Riedle etc. Number 9 is worn by of coz' probably the greatest living striker of the Reds squad...Robbie Fowler.

Simple V neck design from Reebok, and nice combination of Red & White to make this one of my faves of Liverpool's away shirts.

2009-01-09T17:58:00.007+08:00

Some not-so-new shirts obtained recently :
1) Old Shimizu S Pulse shirt by Mizuno (crazy world map design!)

3) Glasgow Rangers away shirt by Umbro circa 2006
4) Udinese black away shirt by Lotto
5) Rep of Ireland home shirt by Umbro circa 2006/07

The new Derby County shirt by adidas. Sent to me by my good friend there, Mik. Derby County has a special place in me as, besides it's my mate Mik's local team, I've been there myself back in 2004 to visit the stadia, the city and understanding what it means to support the local teams there in Derby. I checked out the other teams in Derby as well such as Belper Town (come on Belper!!), Matlock Town & Alfreton. Thanks Mik!! Hope you'll like the Hairuddin Omar Malaysia nike shirt!

2007-09-29T07:40:00.000+08:00

TRIBUTE SHIRTS : IRAQ's Golden Boy, Younis Mahmoud.

I was inspired to 'prepare' these 2 shirts by Iraq's coach (Jorvan Viera) in one of his comments, that he don't care what type of shirts Iraq will be wearing in their next match, they can wear anything for all his care, so long as they perform as a unit & get the job done ...

Iraq wore Umbro in their recent victorious Asian Cup campaign. But they also wore many brands in recent times, Jack & Jones, Diadora etc depending on whatever they can get hold of, to serve their needs.

In a 'tribute' to that, here's my own versions of Iraq's Younis shirts. The home one, green is by a cheap hypermarket brand, Veiker while the away one is by Umbro. Got the Iraqi flag at my friend's tore in town. Cheers!

2007-08-19T18:52:00.000+08:00

Just added yesterday. The shirt prepared for the Proton Selangor FC for their FAM Cup final against Sabah's Beverly FC. Made by Kappa Malaysia (thats why it ain't body hugging/fitting). Sponsored by the team's latest product, the new Proton Persona car. Dhurai (3) is one of its players. That's all I know. Oh ya.. this team will play in Malaysia's Premier League next season.

Cheers

2007-08-18T14:32:00.000+08:00

The 39th Pestabola Merdeka (Merdeka Invitational) Tournament is around the corner and FAM as usual, is doing a 'WBE' (way below expectation) job in promoting it. I saw a TV promo on RTM1 once or twice. That's about it. And in the promo, Lesotho & Zimbabwe are mentioned as well. So are they in or are they not in?? Tak tau lah.... in the meantime, here's a 'home-made' poster. Spread the word, let's support our national team, again.. yeah..i know ..

Cheers

2007-08-18T14:26:00.000+08:00

2007-08-18T14:19:00.000+08:00

Police FA bagged the Malaysian Premier League this year, and they will play in the Super League next year. Their jersey this year is made by local brand, Sukses, a brand owned by the Selangor State biz arm (I think!). Blue is the home one.

2007-08-10T09:12:00.000+08:00

Both Indonesian home & away shirts from their recent commendable outing in the Asian Cup 2007 are already in. I got the home one printed with the capitano, Ponaryo Astaman's name & number. While striker Bambang Pamungkas for the away one.

Hi all, some new (and old) shirts added. They are :

1) Colombia old Reebok home shirt. Got this few years back from Ebay. I have suspicions whether it's the real stuff or not. Anyway, decided to 'restore/enhance' the shirt by having Colombian legend Carlos Valderrama name/number printed. At least I can proudly show it to my pals in the Colombian band down at the Qbar salsa club ;)

2) Australia World Cup 2006 home with Viduka name/number

3) Argentina World Cup 2006 home with Riquelme name/number. Cant wait to get his Boca Juniors shirt now that he's moved there.

4) Cruz Azul home

5) Vera Cruz crazy away shirt. Brilliant colour!

6) Monterrey away shirt.
For all the shirts from the Mexican League : Gracias senor Jose'!

7) Local state team in Malaysia, Kedah FC's home shirt by Line 7. The 'Canaries' of Malaysia

8) Austria home shirt by Puma. Thanks to Marl who visited Vienna/Salzburg recently

9) Another local team, Selangor Proton FC's away shirt by Kappa. This is the fan club version whereby the special 'Fan Club' badge is embroidered on the shirt. Minus this badge, the shirt is the team's away playing shirt. Don't get too confused ..

10) An old Lithuania national team shirt made by Lotto. Any idea which year this shirt is?

2007-02-10T12:32:00.000+08:00

2 shirts added this morning. Finally got the new Malaysia blue away shirt by Nike. This is the replica version made in Indonesia and retails at about USD 37 or just under GBP 19. Was told that Nike Malaysia releases this replica version to enable local fans to buy the shirt at a cheaper price than the players version released recently. This one is with the name/number of the skipper, Khaironisam Shahabuddin. All in, a nice & quality shirt IMHO.

The other one is the Portugal away shirt and it was on sale at the Nike store in Midvalley Mall. I got the name/number of Maniche printed at the back. Great Portugal black shirt I must say..

Cheers

2007-02-07T06:50:00.000+08:00

3 new shirts added today. They are :

Selangor Proton FC, a local team in the Selangor League and competed in last night's FA Cup 1st Round where they were dumped out. This team is funded of coz' by the national carmaker, Proton. The sponsor Savvy emblazoned on the shirt refers to one of their current pride & joy, the Proton Savvy model. Another local carmaker getting into the local footie action is ..

.. Naza Cars who sponsors Kuala Muda Naza FC in the local Premier League. Kuala Muda is a district in the northern Kedah state and the teaming-up makes sense financially as Naza is a solid financial backer for the otherwise unknown Kuala Muda football team.

That leaves the other national carmaker, Perodua to find a major team to tie up with and light up the local footie scene.. yay!

The 3rd shirt is Leyton Orient from England. Not sure which season this is from as I know currently they are using the Vandanel-make shirt. This one has Matchroom Sport logo on it and I know the company by the same name is the current owner of the team. A friend who knows someone from Matchroom Sport helped obtained this shirt for me. Thanks CK!

2007-01-17T10:19:00.000+08:00

Got my new Malaysia home shirt by Nike yesterday for RM 259 ! Pricey unnecessarily! Got it printed with Hairuddin Omar's name and his usual number 20. The Asean Cup patch was also done up by the official name/number/patch maker, Qlinesports in Pertama Complex.

To the Philippines team, Salamad Po!! for holding Myanmar and allowing us thru to the Semifinal

Cheers!

2007-01-14T10:48:00.000+08:00

This is the current home shirt for the KL Plus FC, a local team competing in the Malaysian Premier League. The team is backed by the big local highways/expressways operator company in Malaysia, Plus.

The shirt's make is Kappa but apparently the bosses at KL Plus FC wanted their Plus name prominently on the shirt and have asked for no Kappa logo anywhere! Can you believe that??

Anyway, I got one piece for my keep.

Looks like Reading's :)

Cheers

2007-01-13T19:30:00.000+08:00

Hey, Malaysia finally ditched Adidas and opted for Nike as its new national team jersey supplier.

The new design follows the current Nike standard template. First worn just yesterday in the AFF Cup in Bangkok where Malaysia trounced Phillipines 4-0 in the opening match.

Come on Malaysia! Just do it ..

Welcome to my soccer shirts web site ...

Thanks for dropping by. At present, I think I have around 800 shirts in my collection, and er..growing.I am a believer that soccer (football) shirts are unique in that they represent values, pride, history & the community surrounding the teams they represent.

So, in our own unique way, let's all continue with this passion of shirts-collecting that has proven to bring the world closer together.

Cheers :)
