Should Football Fans Be Shamed For Buying Fake Shirts?
Barça 2012-13 was known as Calippo, the name of a popular popsicle

10'30". You are very very mistaken. Real Madrid hasn't any ties with the Crown, and the denomination of Real (royal) is an honour given by the Crown (if you previously ask for it) in some special ocasions. You have Real Sociedad, Real Betis C.F., Real Club Esportiu Espanyol, Real Valladolid C.F., Real Oviedo, Real Club Mallorca, Real Zaragoza....
By the way, King Philip is an Atleti fan

I 100% agree with you, worst kit era ever

Nowadays things got better.
@Alfredo78666Japan never misses
@theneophytejournalArsenal kits post 90’s are garbage.
@michaelbernecker4683I completely agree with you! Adidas can’t seem to make a banger like they did in the 80’s for Man Utd. The are freaking ugly kits recently. I can’t stand them adidas isn’t trying to make bangers because they banking on everyone buying the kit anyway.
@michaelbernecker4683The Totenham kit has been utter crap over the last few seasons, just zero effort, zero creativity! Ffs I'm sick of it!
@dommidavros2211"Here's tops I like."
Zero technical insight.
Pointless.
Yes I wear “Retro Kits” but I purchased them myself when they were dropped. Well anything after 1996 anyway.
“The amount of white lads in the UK looking for some sort of Nigerian heritage” 🤣 🤣
Feel like 2018 and 2019 was the only redeeming years with good football kits
@ChickenMusialaCalling a betting sponser ‘unethical’ is crazy 😂
@ChoppersDenI think Bremen use to do some crackers same with Roma back in the day
@daz7987Nahhh those Liverpool warrior kits were fire
@Toph112282017 nike template where just 🤌🤌….dont know what this guy is on
@AA-dm2tiPuma and Nike kits were equally horrendous for the 2022 world cup
@bigguyCIA4uThe hi viz colour kits were horrendous. Why ?
@gavintuesday4959Nah man, fashion and football go hand in hand . Terrace gear and trainers
@gavintuesday4959Marseille used to have beautiful kits every season. Olympic Lyon as well. But tbh I don't follow French league for 10+ years now. I remember Chelsea having the same kits design for two seasons in a row. 2006/07 and 2007/08.
@SomeUnremarkableGuyLamest sponsors are not even gambling, but cryptoplatforms.
@prkp7248Puma and Arsenal should be ashamed they released those kits lol
@benhi2418The Arsenal kit lineup in 22/23 was a huge selling point for me on the club
@lukesponheim4773not their fan but Real and France have always been spot on!
@Cine_Cisneimo, there were so many iconic kits that decade. The pink juve kit 2016, chelsea kit 2017, real madrid 2017, liverpool 2018 home , bayern kit 2015 were all great kits
@shawnjoseph34322010's football kits were significantly better than the stuff we have now. Even the template ones at least had some creativity in them. Most kits nowadays are either low-quality fabric, lazy attempts at throwbacks, or just ugly in a boring way (thinking of all the puma jerseys from the 2021 Euros).
@Shenderson3003How r u gonna dog out those Barcelona kits when rvery 2nd season in the 2020s Nike give them a contender for the WORST kit of ALL time
@Blip-qz9chLiverpool’s 2013/14 kit is my favourite tbh.
@secla_SCThe Barca yellow and orange kit is a personal favourite
@RyanBromhead503bro has negative energy. British weather personified.
@FORAID520Dude, the 2018/2019 Barca shirt is one of the all time best Barca kits
@Asaf-t3qPuma has fucking destroyed football kits. It's missing after miss. Umbro has had a great resurgence and new balance quality is wonderful. Macron as well deserves more credit.
@LONKALUKSVThe actual only answer to this question is because we live in 2025. 2000s & beyond is old enough to be cool, but 2010s is just in the awkward middle stage where it’s totally off modern trends, but not vintage cool. In another 10 years people will make this exact same video about 2025 kits
@azhurelpigeonI can't believe you bashed England's early 2010's umbro kits!!! and i genuinely couldn't see what's was wrong with that Milan kit, its a plain and simple AC Milan kit, the only thing different in it it's the Puma logo. 😂
@jrjrsouzaThose Arsenal and Spurs jerseys were great tho
@TomRiddle-2Fair assessment. Man Utd kits were brilliant up until around 2010 and have gradually began to improve again at long last. I barely bought any during the 2010s as they were horrible, lazy efforts.
@toph82982010s kits were iconic, Bayern, RM, Borussia, Barcelona
@Sidam91Bring back Cigarette and alcohol sponsorship
@mamoruchiba3301Fashion is subjective. That being said, the nostalgia merchants will attack you. I'm sure that 10, 20, years from now, people will say that this current era of kits was the best.
@iliyasesoof170/10 ragebait
@ConductorWeHaveAProblemshameless
@nadimnaouach5839Valid point, shame you cant critique anything from the 2010's without the 20 year old "Streets won't forget" nostalgia merchants coming at you
@SReilly34I'm from Spain and for me, the goat era of football kits is the late 90s. Not just for design but also because of the sponsors. They were all local sponsors and mostly regional banks. This gave those kits a special conection with your land and made your club more "local".
Not like nowadays where you can see a chinese or a crypto sponsor in a 2nd división team
Dislike and im outta here. This kits were fire
@huyoozaIdc what anyone says the standard chartered kit sponsor is iconic
@jillionjangles4177Just me that absolutely hates the Nigeria 2018 shirt?
@Gabe-MFSMiles better than any of the kits get now
@alexchurch5988Trash take
