Nice work with the printing mate

Holland match flags are near impossible to get. I managed to get 2 back in 2004/2005 but it will be hard to find them now

Thanks mate! And yeah the MDT are close to impossible to find. I'm not even sure about the official manufacturer.

Cheers everyone.

superb mate...

I think it has something to do with rules governing the use of the Australian coat of arms set out either by the government, or the Australian Sporting Commission. You might notice that nearly every single Australian sporting team uniform bears the coat of arms alongside/instead of the sporting body's. e.g. the Wallabies, the Kangaroos, even netball.

The same thing happens for replicas of the above uniforms, so a Wallabies jersey sold at Rebel Sport will have a rugby ball inside the coat of arms, or in some cases the coat of arms have been changed altogether.

It's a bit silly, but it's probably something beyond Nike's or FFA's control.

Bloody stupid innit and dis-respectful imagine if the England team put a football over the 3 Lions!

Great collection mate.

Your Barca's Xavi shirt is really awesome.

I've been trying to look for it on the last few months, but it seems impossible to find it.

Thanks for the kind compliments guys Just a small update

Australia 08-10 away player issue



All the displays had PI shirts on the mannequins, and they were all size M which was a perfect fit, so naturally I was pretty interested. I asked the Nike store manager and she connected me with the Nike South Africa sales manager and in the end I was allowed to buy them after the teams have been knocked out from the tournament.

Why doesn't such incidents happen to me??

Amazing PI shirts and story mate!! Really really impressive!!! And a bit jealous!! Very nice!!

Do you think you a Youth XL size will fit you? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BARCELONA-L-S-HOME-SHIRT-NIKE-XL-BOYS-BRAND-NEW-/300540465575?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Football_FootballShirts&hash=item45f99b91a7#ht_1326wt_905

If you can then maybe you should give that a go. And I think Uni-Sport or Soccer Spain will be able to supply you the Xavi nameset from last season.

I was just in the right place at the right time. I didn't even think that I'd be allowed to buy all of them as they were all PI shirts. They put a massive dent in my bank account.

Cheers mate, but I barely have anything especially compared to your collection! Will have to add an Ireland shirt soon

Thanks mate, but I'm not a big fan of XL size shirts, because the club crest and the sponsors are usually smaller than size S adults.

I'll just wait until something comes up on Ebay.

Haven't updated in a while so I'll post a few things when I get home from work!

I've been busy with work and whatnot so have been slack in buying and updating here. One reason why I didn't want to post them up was because I haven't printed most of them [as you will see soon]

France home [authentic version]. I didn't print the front number since they haven't worn their front number yet. Might try and DIY the front number later. Although I don't support France at all I thought the design and overall look was appealing.



Tottenham home shirt. My first English club shirt ever. Got it as part of a deal when I was buying for a friend.





LA Galaxy home [player issue]. My first Adidas shirt in a long time.



I haven't had the time to get the printing done. I've always liked Landon Donovan, and I had the pleasure of meeting him last year in South Africa. A very good player and a very nice and humble guy.



Barcelona home 2010/11 [player issue]. Wanted the away player shirt but could only get another home one. Thinking of putting Iniesta but not sure about which patch to use. Probably UCL since the Mascherano I have is for league matches.



Corinthians home 2011/12 [player issue]. A friend went to Brazil recently and managed to get this for me. There are a couple of missing sponsor on the side and on the numbers, but otherwise I think it looks fine.



Number 10 is Bruno César. I quite like how there's no name on the back of the shirt, which is apparently a very Brazilian thing to do. But the team doesn't play with names during the state championship either.



Korea home 2010/12 [player issue]. It's not a new shirt but I only found it recently from storage during the recent Asian Cup. My Korean girlfriend didn't have any supporter gear to wear when she went out to watch Korea with her friends. It's the first time it's been worn ever since I got it off the display.





As with most Nike player shirts the crest and logo are screen printed [replicas are embroidered]



Message on the back of the crest reads 'tuhon', or 'fighting spirit'.



Now that I've got it off storage I thought I might as well print it. I haven't had the time yet, plus I need to cut up the nameblock because it's not aligned properly. If you look at the players you'll notice that the names are not curved and much closer together. Plus I'm waiting for the 'taegukgi' or the small Korean flag patch for the sleeve to arrive from Korea to go with the Asian Cup patch.




Anyway that's all I have for now. Maybe I should use the "Latest Hauls" section to update next time? Hopefully the next update will have all the printing done on the shirts.

If I may ask where did you find the Spurs kit? I could'nt buy it because I dont buy other teams jerseys apart from the teams I actually support but im just curious as I know its sold out in a lot of places apart from the bigger sizes

Sweet hauls mate.

Your Barcelona and Corinthians shirts are just amazing.

Just so you know, Adriano will wear #10 in Corinthians, now.

I bought it a couple of months ago in Singapore. I recall seeing a few at Rebel in the city, but it would be silly paying AU$140 for it. Have you looked at Weston? They have all sizes for the long sleeve home shirt.

Thank you for the info, I didn't know Adriano was taking the number. All I know was that he's getting paid 500k reais per month or something. Luckily the shirt didn't have a name on it.

DAMN those PI kits! How many of these Nike WC10 PIs did u actually have?

PS: where'd you get the small Korean flag from? ReplicaRoom? i wanted to ask them the other day while i was ordering some stuff, but at the end forgot about it

I have all the PI kits from all the countries sponsored by Nike at the WC. I don't even know why I bought all of them as I only wear Australia. I've got Australia, New Zealand and South Korea with me, the rest are in storage boxes at my parents' place. I plan on [eventually] printing some of them, starting with Korea. Maybe USA next, and the Netherlands. I have no idea what to do with Brazil, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia shirts yet.

And the flag patch, I don't know where I'm getting it from. My girlfriend asked her friends in Korea and someone bought/found it. Is it available from Replica Room?

hey awesome mate!

i've been in love with the LA Galaxy kit since long time ago but yeah.... hard to find it here in germany.
great hauls btw!

bro, you got it off that mannequin display literally....?

Replicaroom used to advertise them, but i havent got around asking them coz someone mentioned they will only print it to shirts they sell.

yeah thought thats how you got it, with your gf's connection haha! While i was watching the Asian Cup in Doha last year, many of the Korean fans wore the PI kits as well, the ones sold in a bottle. i bet they are commonly available in Korea.

awesome hauls man.. just a curiosity question, what size did u obtain? i meant , when u wana get the kits, do they offer sizes for you or there is only 1 and only size? or the ONLY PI kit for each team?
