Real Sociedad 2003/04 Home Kit - UCL Edition

Front view

Back view

Real Sociedad's embroidered crest.

UCL patch, which is very different from the current ones.

You can see Xabi Alonso, Nihat Kahveci or Valeri Karpin in there.

REAL SOCIEDAD DE FÚTBOL
-Founded: 7 September 1909
-2 Spanish Leagues (Last one: 1982)
-Biggest rival: Athletic Club

-The club name means Royal Society of Football in Spanish. The club is nicknamed in Basque as Erreala or the txuri-urdin ("white-blue" due to the colours of their kit). The colours stem from the flag of San Sebastian: a blue canton on a white field.

Wow, is like more than two months since I posted my last shirt... this is a bit akward. I've just haven't found the moment to post during this time, but finally I have some free time, so I'll show the shirts I've purchased.

Gabriel, a German collector, contacted me to tell me about the shirts he was selling. I fell in love with this one, we came to terms and I bought it for 40€.
(You can have a look at the rest of Gabriel's shirts here) 
And as you can see, it's a really rare shirt. I'll try to find an official name and number to print on it.
Hopefully Real Sociedad will do a great performance at the UCL next season :)

UCL Adidas Finale 4 - Signed by Real Madrid's squad

Front view
View of both footballs
Signatures: Ronaldo, Zidane, Casillas, Roberto Carlos, Raúl and Beckham


UCL ADIDAS FINALE 4 SIGNED BY REAL MADRID PLAYERS.
This is one of that things which you remember you have, but not where. Mine was hidden in a basket full of toys (the other one, my brother's, was on a flowerpot in my terrace and some of the signatures have almost disappeared. You can see how the one in the right is a bit faded due to the sunlight), but despite that it's in good condition.
Today I remembered that my uncle brought us a pair of these signed footballs, as he knew someone in Real Madrid's coaching staff, so I cleaned and inflated them.
The ball is from the 2004/05 season but it's signed by Real Madrid's squad in 2005/06 season.

They are signed by:
1. Iker Casillas
2. Míchel Salgado
3. Roberto Carlos
4. Sergio Ramos
5. Zinedine Zidane
6. Iván Helguera
7. Raúl
8. Julio Baptista
9. Ronaldo
10. Robinho
12. Pablo García
13. Diego López
14. Guti
15. Raúl Bravo
16. Thomas Gravesen
18. Jonathan Woodgate
21. Diogo
22. Francisco Pavón
23. David Beckham
24. Álvaro Mejía

By the way, just purchased a limited edition Cameroon shirt for the World Cup 2010 from Classic Football Shirts. I'll post it soon!
