Panama Papers? Panama shirts!

11:38  /  Francisco Ferreira  /  3 Comments

Panama is of course pretty much in the spotlight because of the Panama Papers stuff. If you live in a bubble and didn't hear of it, you can check the fantastic The Guardian coverage of it. It'll also rock the football world, because FIFA (no shit!) guys are obviously involved, and so is Platini and Messi. Oh well, this...

Usually, shirts from african teams are great. Good designs, plenty of colours, some crazy and out of the box ideas. Clearly not the case with this Zimbabwe shirt, which seems it travelled all the way from the 90's (the bad part of the decade, I mean) to 2006. The design is pretty terrible, the material is a disgrace,...

For some reason I stopped updating the blog, but hey, some people complained and here we are again. I didn't stop buying new stuff (today I bought a Myanmar shirt, hopefully it'll get from Thailand all the way to Porto), and the last count is around the 150 mark. A nice number, I guess. So, let's have a...

Chivas USA is probably one of the best examples when it comes to the differences between soccer in the States and football pretty much elsewhere. Imagine you own one of the most successful clubs in Mexico... Next step? To put it also in the Major League Soccer! No promotion needed, you're straight into the main league. Nice move,...

I do not own many shirts from Portuguese clubs, but I had to buy this Farense shirt. It does not look great I guess, but it's definitly a rare item, and I do like Farense a lot. A part of my family comes from Faro, a sunny city down in Algarve. When I was younger I used to...

Around one year ago, I had the chance to spend 15 days in Germany covering FC Porto's summer training camp in Marienfeld, a really small town near Bielefeld. It meant a lot of work, with daily reports and stuff, but it also meant a lot of fun. I knew Porto had two friendly matches against local teams scheduled,...
