Let me post in reverse order my purchases since back from a long break in football jerseys. Did get the occassional  from time to time but no shirts until this summer again. So here goes in reverse order, starting with a long longed for nameset arrived in the mail this past week  :

Then the week before that: more namesets!  

Always had reserved this space for Riquelme but no success in getting the proper (non-white #10) NN so:





Had a spare Barça fluro yellow with a crooked logo so got this Maxi (Lopez) set to make a jersey for a lady friend nicknamed Max (short for) (maybe crooked logo not so noticeable on lady chest ; even on a hanger against the wall it looks straight already, so much I thought my eyes had played tricks on me all these years but no it still is actually crooked/tilted)



And in the same delivery the brilliant ( ) infrared Bayern print for:



and one extra/spare



The more I saw it the more I started to prefer the 33 Gomez set over Martinez but promised myself to get a Martinez rookie season Bayern shirt so will probably stick to it. Unless I still get one of the home jerseys ...

To continue where I left off, finally some shirts that arrived recently (plus a couple more namesets )



And here two namesets. First up a Wilshere debut season kit, taking the place that I reserved for Arshavin for so long but can only classify him as bust so just cannot be justified in the end (Arshavin printing).



To make up for that  

And to finish of the reverse order update we end with these three summer arrivals that ended my long break   .
The Russian one in particular was a must have for me so when I spotted it on eBay I couldn't resist ...



So that was my summary of Q2 and Q3 of 2013 and a good indication of my collection habbits. Primarily replica's (sewn badges/crests highly preferred), practically no (sleeve badges not my cup of tea), 'gameworn' ... errrm (out of my league). Collecting national team jerseys and going for at least one jersey of my preferred team(s) in the various ligas and the occassional 'just because the design is sick'.
This was supposed to be it for a while but I just saw another offer too good to resist so I may have another update sooner than expected  

That Russia is the best looking kit IMO...keep up!

Thanks bro  . Agree on Russia, originally would have liked the Kremlin font  but that was unofficial. Interested to see the new one in real life ...

Here is what extended my haul period of the last weeks, just arrived today.
Germany, GREEN. Had to have it since I first saw it but no rush to pay full price  , so now still got it at bargain price ... Plus another Bayern away, since I had two  lying around and, before this addition, only one jersey. But, shame on me, I completely missed out on the home jersey (so far anyway).

Nice hauls there mate

Totally agree and the first home away by Adidas back in 2009 (and I have both  )

Good job DIYing your shirts, mate   

I also do DIY my shirts, mostly because I'm a perfecionist regarding the alignment on the shirt. I don't trust other stores printing service, since their job are usually very sloppy.

 Yes same here on placement, but I like to shop around as well for the best prices and willing to wait for the right prices for shirts. So usually ends up being from two different sources and there are practically no print shops for shirts around where you can bring a shirt to have your set pressed on or where you can buy official print so almost no choice but to DIY    ...

Had a few small items coming in over the last month and waiting on two more shirts that I expect to arrive tomorrow else I will be miffed (at the seller; paid for DHL, shipped with regular post I think)

So we have the current Ajax shirt here and also from Sports Direct two AEK Athens shirts that were only 3.99GBP each  



And it started with this shirt to finish the combo with the NN I already had a while:

So, haven't visited in a while, somewhat annoyed it's logs off automatically after several days and couldn't for the life of me remember what the password was
