beat the deadline

So here we are again. The time where every man becomes a boy. The latest moves and dribble is tested on the local football field, inspired  from what we have seen on television. The World Cup in football is upon us. And I must admit I don't know all the teams who are playing and when they are palying. I don't have the full overview on who the surprise team will be, although I understand the Ivory Coast are an outsider who can go far. My favorite team are very comon: Brazil and England. It would be fun to see England go all the way. And of course I want to see most of the brilliance and skills of the Brazilian team. But I simply haven't enough background knowlegde to come with expert statements. I will leave that to the experts (i.e. Erik Pettersen hehe)

I thought I should share my view on the World Cup design of the Shirt.

So here we go:

We start with the host nation, Germany:

The Germany shirt is as always white. It has elements of the colour of the flag -black, red and yellow, which is an interesting colour combination in it self. It is an adidas-design and is fairly simple and a main stream. No big surprises here. The number on the left chest has a design inspired from the typeface used under the Summer Olympics in Mexico in 1968. This runtrack style typeface seems to never leave fashion. And I guess it is fitting for adidas to use the stripe-theme since they are the "brand with the three stripes". The badge is on right side which is the most common.

Conclusion: An up to date, fashionable design, which means it looks good, but it will not last long before it is out of date and boring.
