Well... six months later (maybe more?) I've beaten the laziness that kept me away from updating the blog. Luckily I've had no laziness to buy new shirts, some of which are really rare and beautiful.

Anyway, sorry to whoever that often read me.
The Three Wise Men have been really generous, I received some presents for my birthday, too; even Santa Claus came to my house this year. This France shirt I got for my birthday has undoubtly become one of my favourites; after the mess FIFA and Adidas are causing with its all-one-colour kits, it seems like Nike won't respect this regulations. Thanks Nike.
On the other hand, I should say that I want to become Nike designer one day. Sticking a new crest and changing the colour of the collar (see France 2011/12) might not be a hard task.

"Here is Paris", detail of the shirt.
Come on Erdinç, you can seem more enthusiastic.

The squad for the year the shirt was worn.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN FOOTBALL CLUB
-Founded: 1970
-2 French Leagues (Last one: 1994)
-Biggest rival: Olympique de Marseille
-The Kop of Boulogne is a stand in the Parc des Princes which mainly housed the Boulogne Boys, a supporters group associated with the club. It is known as the "most notorious stand in French football" due to its links with violence and far-right political groups. The KoB became synonymous in French public opinion with not only football hooliganism, but racism and fascism since the 80's and continues to be associated with violent elements within the PSG support due to a number of high profile incidents.


This was one of my first shirts, and I think it's one of the coolest PSG has had in the last years. It's the smallest shirt I have in the collection (apart from being XXXS sized, it's supposed to be very tight) so I can't really wear it. In fact I have this shirt twice,
I'm realizing I should comment something else about the shirts apart from "it's cool" or "it's beautiful". These texts lack originality.
