You can't say I'm being lucky with the last shirts I ordered. After Zamalek's, I bought a limited edition Cameroon shirt from Classic Football Shirts. I was really looking forward to get the shirt, as it would be my first player issue shirt. But when I opened the wooden box with a plate which said "Cameroon Authentic Home Shirt", I was really surprised to see that Ivory Coast shirt into it (which is very tight-fitted).
I decided to contact them to exchage the shirt. Greg, from CFS, apologized and told me to keep this one as a gift, because he was going to send me the correct one for the same price.
So, thanks to Greg, now I have 2 shirts for the price of 1, both limited edition and player issue :)

Detail at the back of the shirt.

ZAMALEK SPORTING CLUB / نادي الزمالك للألعاب الرياضية
-Founded: 5 January 1911
-5 CAF Champions Leagues (Last one: 2002); 11 Egyptian Leagues (Last one: 2004)
-Biggest rival: Al-Ahly SC
-The club was inaugurated under the name of “Kasr-El Nil Club“ and was first headed by Belgian lawyer Merzbach. The name was changed to Mokhtalat in the year 1913 and was named after King Farouk in 1940, before finally settling as Zamalek after the 1952 Egyptian revolution. 

Not really sure about this shirt. I know it's not a fake but, apart from that... the eBay seller sent me this one, despite the pictures showed other shirt... I've been looking for it on the internet, and I sent a message to their official Facebook page. They told me, in a peculiar English, that this was used in the 2011/12 season, but I can't find any pictures of the team wearing it.
So if you know anything about this shirt, please leave a comment or email me at guille-shirts@collector.org

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

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

The Three Wise men have come, and they have left great presents! Between them, there was this 2010 World Cup Denmark shirt. I've had got my eyes on it for a long time, but I couldn't imagine that my parents were going to find it. It cost 25€, in the same place and with the same template as my Ukraine shirt. One day I hope to have the Denmark shirt they used for the last UEFA Euro, which is also very beautiful.
These have been a good Christmas holidays as regards football shirts. I also want to thank all of you guys who are visiting the blog and encouraging me to continue with the collection!

Philadelphia Union's crest.

We are one inscription inside of the collar-

PHILADELPHIA UNION
-Founded: 2008
-Biggest rivals: DC United and NY Red Bulls
-The Union's first game was played on March 25, 2010, in which they lost 2–0 to Seattle Sounders FC at Qwest Field, the first game of the 2010 MLS season. Sébastien Le Toux became the first player to score a goal for Philadelphia in their home opener on April 10, 2010, a 3–2 win over D.C. United at Lincoln Financial Field. The team again played Seattle Sounders FC for the first match at PPL Park on June 27, 2010.

This is one of my birthday's presents, which my father brought from Philadelphia some months ago and has been kept in secret during this time. I've discovered that this was the jersey used by Philadelphia Union in its first year in MLS (2010, they also used it in 2011), so it's like having a piece of history in the collection. I'm not a big fan of the sponsor, but the rest of the shirt is very cool.
I've bought Zamalek SC shirt (Egypt) as a present for myself, so you will see it uploaded in a few days.
