my collection [updated 02/2012]

Dont quote me on this but I THINK its a flat rate they wanted to charge me $30 to put Carragher on my old England kit..

Never thought about buying a press think I'll just do it the old fashioned way and buy with names already on

Mav, why don't you apply your by normal iron?

I think I'm afraid I might ruin a perfectly good jersey if I did it myself! I don't know, I think I need to overcome that mental barrier first...

Wow, it's been almost 9 months since the last update. Here are some of the things I've come across since the last post, quite a few have not been printed just yet so I won't post them now.

Sydney FC 2011/12 away replica. I'm still trying to see if I can grab a Formotion home from the kitman.



Nick Carle on the back.



Brett Emerton prefers a replica instead of a Formotion jersey.



Croatia 2010/12 LS Danijel Pranjic match worn vs Norway. A beautiful shirt, I love the pattern in each square.





The message behind the crest, I think it says 'always faithful'?



Barcelona 2011/12 SS home PI. These are the older model jerseys. I managed to get a couple of blank ones so I got Xavi and Mascherano printed and applied the LFP patch.



The Nike swoosh and the club crest are heat printed.


The back of the older model was different from PI jerseys of previous seasons. In the past the back panel of Nike PI shirts was made from mesh. This one however is made from a thicker, heavier fabric. The players then complained about them and now Nike have made a newer model for the players. I'm hoping to get one of the new model and the away PI jerseys next.

Mascherano. His name block was quite difficult to find. Most places offers blocks made from individual letters stuck on sticky templates so the spacing was all wrong. Eventually got one that had all the letters on a solid block. Not sure what to do with this though, I might end up selling it.



Xavi.



Lastly, I know this is not a jersey but anyway. I managed to get an Arsenal PI bench coat for my dad who is a Gunners fan. But I doubt it'll get used very often as the coat is very warm and Australia doesn't get cold too often. The 'Fly Emirates' sponsor is also missing.



The iPod pouch and the earphone hole are nice touches.




Anyway, I hope I can get the rest of the jerseys heat pressed soon. With any luck it won't be another 9 months.

Loved your Barcelona PI shirts. Did you get them locally?

Hey thanks mate, I got them from my friend at Nike Europe. That's where I get some of my Nike PI items. I applied the name and numbers and here. There's no chance for these to ever be sold in Australia. Unlike Brazil where the Nike PI shirts are manufactured in Brazil =)

The Sydney one looks nice!

Yeah, but not from many teams though. I've only seen PI kits of Brazil, Corinthians, and Man Utd. With Nike sponsoring Bahia, Santos, Internacional, and Coritiba, it is very likely they will have their PI kit versions too.

BEST barca shirt
where did you get the PI shirt?
i just get the P2R shirt
