Collecting national team shirts from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
Thanks to Oliver Wells for sending me a link to a photo of this shirt. Turns out that it’s from 2002. I still can’t work out if it’s home or Away. This is the other shirt, which I think looks even better in a game against Zambia, who may well be playing in an away shirt since I think they played in Gold at the time.
Total cost – £67.77
Total cost of collection – £2606.15
This shirt was bought directly from the Cook Islands FA via their website. I wish more national associations would make their shirts available to purchase directly. The only difficulty was the cost of sending a bank transfer to the Cook Islands.
I’ve been after this shirt for a while. I know that Puma produced a number of african shirts, most commonly Algeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Egypt, Tunisia etc. But they also produced shirts for Mozambique and Namibia. This shirt comes complete with the Puma ‘sample’ information just like my Ivory Coast shirts. The information includes which factory it was made in.
This shirt came from the USA, and unfortunately they put a far higher value of the shirt when declaring its contents. Thanks to this I not only had to pay customs duty, but I also had to pay the Royal Mail an £8 handling fee.
Total cost – £46.47
Total cost of collection – £2390.48
Need your help identifying some of these opponents for matches against Gibraltar, I think most of them are club sides.
4Is it just me who keeps seeing Rochdale when seeing clips of Atalanta?
