This photograph just appeared online, of several Spurs stars modelling next year’s kit, and from the blurry camera phone image it looks like is IS the abomination we saw early leaks of months ago.

Leeds Stockings: Keeping Us In Suspense.
In Blog on April 30, 2010 at 8:49 amThese little fellas have appeared on eBay. Can we get excited about 1970s Leeds stocking garters? Yes, we can.
The chap who owns this Frank Gray stocking tab is a big Leeds collector, whose website claims he’s on a mission to own every Leeds shirt, match worn, ever used. But for the time being, let’s pore over these little momentos of a time when socks wouldn’t stay up on their own.
Guest Blog: “Jumpers For Goalies”
In Blog on April 29, 2010 at 7:00 amOur second guest blog, is written by Kitbag.com’s James Honess. The PR dynamo takes a lingering walk through a multicoloured memory lane of the world’s naughtiest goalkeeper jerseys.
James Honess
“Recent research by sports psychologists has revealed that players miss almost twice as many spot kicks when the goalkeeper wears a red shirt, compared with blue, green or yellow. Whether this bodes well for England’s ‘keepers in South Africa remains to be seen with David James and the other likely lads due to wear blue or yellow. Predictably, Germany’s number 1 will be wearing red.

Can You Name That Boot?
In Blog on April 28, 2010 at 1:00 pmSometimes an item of sportswear comes along that transcends ‘design,’ and becomes ‘art’. Enough bollocks- here at Mud.Sweat.Badges, we’ve created these limited edition canvases using wanky photographs of a top-line football boot.

David James England Umbro Gloves, Revealed.
In Blog on April 25, 2010 at 4:25 pmI got these the other day, which I presume are the gloves David James will be wearing in the World Cup. I’m just scouting through justkeepers and prodirectsoccer to find out if these are commercially available with the three lions on…either way, these were worn by David. I saw it with my own peepers. I got these signed for a very special person.

John Terry Gives Boots To Kids, Dad Sells On EBay
In Blog on April 25, 2010 at 10:01 amCheck these beauties out on eBay. I’m not sure who George and Summer are, but their names are embroidered onto John Terry’s tongues. Perhaps they’re two tarts he’s knocking off (wow, I can’t write that on my Umbro blog!)
Check the photos of Terry handing the boots over to some kids… Read the rest of this entry »
Look At The Badges On THAT!
In Blog on April 23, 2010 at 6:33 pmNike have commissioned various crayons, (or ‘illustrators’ as non-magazine people call them), to create alternative emblems for various national teams’ shirts. Most crayons I know don’t ‘get’ football at all, which in my eyes gives them a fresh viewpoint on what a football crest should look like. Anyway, here they are…enjoy.

Pompey’s Pub Ban: Behind The Scenes At A Premiership Club
In Blog on April 23, 2010 at 12:28 pmI was fortunate to train at the Portsmouth training camp, and got to see what goes on behind the scenes at a Premiership club’s facilities. I obviously enjoyed seeing all the boots stacked up as far as the eye could see, but what was really interesting were the notices on the wall, which detailed all the fines players will recieve should they swear or even be late for training! Enjoy…
