North Korea
Since North Korea's qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa there has been a significant amount of interest in the new North Korea kit. Part of this was because North Korea had played in 5 different shirts in 2010, all made by 4 different sponsors. Lotto, Pirma and Astore provided kits for North Korea, whilst they had to make do with Venezuela's away shirt (made by Adidas) in a friendly. They finally agreed a 4 year sponsorship deal with Italian based Legea but shirts were not made available until North Korea had already exited the tournament.

To keep the costs of my project down I decided not to go for the newly released Legea shirt, but instead took Subside Sports up on their £29.99 offfer.

Albania
Albania are one of the founder members of UEFA, but the closest they've ever got to the World Cup finals was turning down their invitation to take part in the 1934 finals.

Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland - Home - 90/92
I know Northern Ireland isn't the hardest shirt to get hold of, but I'd been holding out for this classic. It is one of the most beautiful things that I've ever seen.
I got this one cheaper than most because it was listed as "Irish football shirt".

Benin
Nigeria are nicknamed the Super Eagles, Ghana the Black Stars, Cameroon the Indomitable Lions, and Egypt the Pharoahs. Benin are nicknamed the Squirrels.Benin - Home - 08/09
This shirt is of a slightly lower standard than I expected, but is very similar to a shirt which came from subsidesports.com. The stitching is almost identical, as is the washing label, and the printed logos. The slightly odd thing was the lack of a label in the collar. On the off chance that this is a fake, they've gone to a hell of alot of effort. My opinion is that it's a supporter's shirt, made to a lower quality than you might expect from Adidas/Nike/Puma.
