Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone - Home - 09/10

I bought this shirt from 2 Degree Sports. Another beautiful hummel creation. Sierra is the Spanish word for 'mountain range' hence the mountain range on the front, and Leone means 'lion' which is represented by the three deliberate rips in the bottom right.

Suriname

Suriname - Home - 08/10

I have a mate who used to live in Suriname, a Dutch country in South America. Some big name players such as Hasselbaink and Seedorf could have played for them if they hadn't wasted their careers playing for the Netherlands.

This shirt came from Subside Sports.

Some shirts available directly from the FA

A more expensive way of getting hold of some shirts is by contacting the FAs directly. Here are a few that I've come across:

Another fake shirt

I took a bit of a gamble here. I bid on eBay for an "azerbahghaan" football shirt on the off chance that it was an official shirt. The photo was very poor quality, but I thought it would be worth that gamble if I'd managed to get a really rare shirt for next to nothing.

Yugoslavia - ex-FIFA

Yugoslavia - Home - 02/03

Since Yugoslavia no longer exist, they do not count towards the 208. I bought this shirt off eBay for £12.77 inc P&P.

Kuwait

Kuwait - Home - 10/11

I found this shirt in Soccer Scene on Carnaby Street in London. They have recently opened stores in Kuwait and Bahrain. Although not listed on their website I was assured that I could arrange to buy shirts by e-mail.

They had the away shirt aswell as New Zealand, Chile, and a whole host of other national teams.
