Well, after some many busy weeks I've found a moment to post new shirts again. This one comes from Brad (whose collection you can view here), who was selling some of his shirts. I could get this one just for £10, quite a good price for a China shirt.
It's a decent one, althought China shirts have been improving in the past few years. Adidas didn't work a lot on this.

I'll try to keep posting my latest purchases: Nigeria (ACN Champions!), Milan and a Santos player issue shirt.

I've been a bit busy with exams so I haven't posted anything in the last few weeks. During this time I've bought a China shirt to Brad, who has been selling part of his collection through eBay.
But I return with this incredible Zanzibar shirt, the coolest one I have in the collection. Not the most beautiful, but the coolest shirt. When I wore it for the first time, my teammates asked me where did I buy that drag queen costume. A shirt from Zanzibar, full of leopard print, made by Hummel and which costs a few pounds on Lovell Soccer. What else can you ask for?

AMSTERDAMSCHE FOOTBALL CLUB AJAX
-Founded: 18 March 1900
-4 European Cups (Last one: 1995); 31 Dutch Leagues (Last one: 2012)
-Biggest rival: Feyenoord Rotterdam
-Since 2007 no player can wear the number 14 shirt, after the club decided to retire the shirt out of respect for Cruyff. Cruyff himself laughed off the tribute.

This was one of the first shirts in the collection. My parents brought it from Amsterdam. It's quite simple (it uses Adidas 'Trofeo' template) but it's one of my favourites, although it is from the season when ABN-Amro finished sponsoring Ajax, which was a big loss.
