Xiong's Arsenal + Singapore Collection

I collect only replicas and i wear them most of the time, so player issues and match worn are out of my range for now.
(my wife will kill me if i spend on jerseys just to hide them in the cupboard. haha).

Been an Arsenal fan since Ian Wright's days, but stronger passion developed when Dennis Bergkamp arrived.
Partly because I'm a fan of the Dutch national team as well, needless to say, a soft spot for AC Milan as well, due
to the Dutch terror trio in the 90s.

Part of my collection are my country's national team replica jerseys. Small collection for now, as Singapore's past jerseys are
hard to find (if not, priced way over my budget). If you have images or photos of past Singapore jerseys, do share them with me as I'm doing
a pictorial database of the kits over the years (1950s to recent years). Thanks! :)

Yes! The 1999-2000 home was the first ever Arsenal shirt that i bought after saving money from part-time work. I wore it everywhere, it's not ragged, the badge is fraying at the edges as well....and i grown larger horizontally...so yah...now seldom wear it. hahahaha

And when people saw it in such a bad state, they claim that jersey is fake. Hahaha...im not parting with it. Ever.

Nope...but i do have one or two Woodlands Wellington jerseys (in my size) purchased from that "mountain" in Weston warehouse outlet. So happen that i used to stay near their stadium, but their performance has been horrid. Perhaps it's their mgt issues. Haha

Hoping the news that Sembawang FC joins the s-league next year comes true. I will support them!!

Most of the s-league shirts look really horrid with the sponsors plastered all over. If i could find really good bargains...i won't exempt myself from purchasing. Hehe

Not sure if all clubs do sell their kits during matches. There are some shops that sell s-league kits, but most of the time they are quite priced 'over-budget' for me.

nice collection u have there..

I can't guarantee it, but that's what i heard from another friend who got the same exact shirt (he got it from his friend who travels often, both are businessmen, i do not know dealing in what stuff. hahaha) that i got. I did see another guy browsing at Weston, wearing the same design (same sponsor fonts), except his was a smaller size shirt. That makes 3 (including mine) in Singapore that i have seen. Haha

Realized im repeating myself...lol...my brief review can be seen here.

Although there was another one floating in ebay, but one look you know its definitely not possible prototype. This ebay one had security label on the front...but i felt they won't bother to put security tag if it's just a mock up for show to the Arsenal folks by Nike. Plus NN behind.

For the real answer, i guess can be derived from real Nike officials. For now, it's an unknown i guess.
