Netherlands Antilles


Netherland Antilles - Away - 08/09



At first I thought this might just be a fans shirt due to the badges being printed within the amterial, but on closer inspection of photos the players are playing in the same shirts.

Total cost - £67.78

Total cost of collection - £2741.70

Sri Lanka


Sri Lanka - Home - 07/08



This shirt came from a friend who contacted the SLFF. It appears that the shirt (which comes with 'large' tags) has been cut, and resewn to make it smaller. The cutting and stitching is of a very poor quality.

Total cost - £67.77

Total cost of collection - £2673.92

Malawi




Malawi - Away - 2002



Thanks to Oliver Wells for sending me a link to a photo of this shirt. Turns out that it's from 2002. I still can't work out if it's home or Away. This is the other shirt, which I think looks even better in a game against Zambia, who may well be playing in an away shirt since I think they played in Gold at the time.

I'm not convinced that this is an authentic shirt. The stitching is rather poor as can be seen in the photo above.

A new Qatar shirt

Qatar - Home - 08/10




A few months ago I purchased a Kuwait shirt from Soccer Scene in Carnaby Street, London. I was aware that they'd opened a store in the middle east and would be getting some stock in throughout the year. I've come to the conclusion that the Qatar shirt I bought previously was probably not the real deal, so bought this rather smart Burrda effort as a replacement.

Total cost - £48.99

Cook Islands

Cook Islands - Home - 10/11



This shirt was bought directly from the Cook Islands FA via their website. I wish more national associations would make their shirts available to purchase directly. The only difficulty was the cost of sending a bank transfer to the Cook Islands.

Total cost - £78.34
