    Bit of a departure, but I think it actually looks pretty decent, which is rare for a football jersey. Nike are making an aggressive move by taking over a traditionally Adidas market and handing over an incredible 320 million euros over 7 years. I'm still not sure anyone in France will buy it though as it's not a great market for jerseys and the team is hardly a huge favourite worldwide at the moment. I'm tempted to say Nike are nuts but they seem to mean business.

    Saw it yesterday and it's decent but not a patch on the Umbro minimalist efforts.

    I like it, although it doesnt look as good as the Adidas tech-fit jersey from the WC qualifying campaign and the subsequent WC.

    Shirt pulling will be a thing of the past if that style takes off.

    This style has been around for ages, Kappa had it years ago with a couple Italy jerseys and Adidas at the minute have the tech-fit which is nearly the same.

    Because Blackburn have put a hold on their make the world break their bollox laughing at them campaign. We need something to fill the news before they make a bid for Messi.
