WHEN YOU DECIDE to push the limits and carry off a ‘challenging’ piece of kit, style success becomes a question of balance between a number of factors. Are you cool enough to get away with it? Are you good enough to get away with not being cool? Are you inconspicuous enough to go unnoticed?
Sometimes, though, even answering one of those questons in the affirmative isn’t enough to save you.
What have we forgotten?

The infamous man u grey kit…
As far as i can remember Packies jersey was just generic keepers jersey from that year by Adidas.many other keepers had the same design.i think campos’ jerseys were designed by himself too.
On the ball Damien, fairly sure the majority of keepers had he same one as bonner in the USA. I thought campos had some class jerseys, except for the completely black one for some south American tournament during a heat wave
The Spitz stache was the epitome of cool. Campos was a strange breed on this one as he had some horrible one, like the one above, but some of the designs were pretty good. It’s a bit like the University of Oregon’s American Football team, sometimes awesome sometimes atrocious.

try this beauty, Sam Hill’s race kit from the world cup race in Scotland…
some of those aren’t that bad, whats wrong with the color pink if it looks good? The Everton shirt for example is very well designed, it may be seen as a feminine color but that’s only a gender stereotype of the 20th century
