AC Milan Jersey Thread

[andresmilanista]

The design itself isn't that bad, but holy shit @ the gray! What were they thinking?

 

[VultureNut]

What gray?

 

[Congo Powers]

holy shit i cannot wait to see the new yellow jerseys.................WOW

 

[jammin]

imagine KPB playing with that jersey... super tight, collar popped, ready to destroy... swag.

Numbers look nice.

W.R.O.N.G

gay look => techfit

players who don't want to look gay => formotion (player issued)

for peasant/tifosi/fans/supporter => replica (overpriced shit)

for cheapskate people => stadium version (the cheapest)

I believe the reason why people are clamoring for the techfit version is because you can actually buy it; and wearing it is the closest you can get to feel what the players wear in the field. You can't buy the Formotion version in the store, the only way to get it is to cough up at least USD 200 in ebay and even that is not brand new because it's player issued or match prepared or match worn so naturally the tag is gone. Besides, the packaging for the Techfit version in the last 2 seasons are very worth collecting.

I have friends who pay store attendants in adidas stores all over Jakarta (Indonesian capital) to inform him once the new Techfit version is available in the stores. Words get out so fast among jersey collectors and whenever new batch arrived (usually less than 10 pcs per stores), in 2 days max they're all sold. It's tougher if your size is L or XL since they will only keep 1-2 pcs because Indonesian/Asian posture are more geared towards M size. Many buy more than 2 for re-sale purpose and get some profit out of it.

I thought this years jersey was the ultimate crap, I was wrong, the next is even worse. I didn't buy this year, I surely won't buy that one either, We are red & black, WTH is up with the white everywhere? Blergh.

always make me wonder
why the hell jersey collector really wants to collect their size jersey
it's not like they'll wear those jerseys anyway
most of them will rot in closet.....

and yeah, formotion/player issued jersey could be considered as black market item
since adidas don't sell them through their chain stores

and always remember replica jersey price actually could be like 150% or more than the production cost
so be smart with your money

 

[andresmilanista]

I meant the new UCL Winner patch.

The shirt looks meh, I'll buy it if it has the Scudetto.

 

[forzamilansafc]

Yellow jersey?

 

[Congo Powers]

[Christian]

It's the tricolore

Well, some collectors wear the jerseys (I do ) from time to time or if the occasion calls for it eg. when watching the game together on a big screen with fellow supporters. I usually wear it to family events just to save me the headache of finding the right clothes, knowing my family will tolerate it since they know my affection towards Milan.

The most ridiculuous example that I've seen is a collector who wore his jersey to a gathering of jersey collectors but still had the tag intact. So the tag was dangling on the arm side of the jersey. Some collectors refused to clip the tag and wanted to preserve the Brand New With Tag condition since the re-sale value is definitely higher. Me, I clipped the tag the first time I lay hands on the jerseys, although I save and collect the tags for souvenirs and adding to the growing number of my own Milan memorabilia.

i always keep all my scarves tag collection (clipped it first time i receive it)
cause most of them are rare to find, and yeah still prefer scarf more than jersey (cheaper )
the reason, casual fan attire all the way

What's with the green? And sadly the trend of 'too much white' from the past years continues. It's not bad though. Much better than the current one.

To the left of the collar there's the green accent, and to the right, there's the red accent.
So together it makes the tricolore.

Neat idea, but it would've been better if the collar wasn't overly massive.

Can barely see the red, and the white is too much. Great idea poorly executed

 

[Deunamist]

the collar's sizes seem to change with every different picture... it's weird.

 

[Subw00fer]

i think third kit will be in dark palette.
reason? -if we play away game against team with "white" home kit - we wears home or third (dark), if we play against "black" home kit team - we wears our away kit (white).

why do we need yellow?

 

[Ultra Swan]

Doesn't look bad to me. Can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd kits!!!!

 

[forzamilansafc]

Great, will be nice to have a change from black. Would also be nice to have a different colour away shirt aswell, and not the usual white

 

[necromancer]

I hope it'll be similar to the one in 05..

Yellow can contrast very well with White. If we play away against teams wearing red and white, we'll have to go for the 3rd kit. Example - Arsenal, Atletico, PSV etc.
