is that Guily in the last pic?? Those Lyon dresses seem to be inspired from the classic Germany National team shirts

As has been noted independently on a number of the game threads, the real sartorial crime in this year’s competition is the perpetuation of the idiotic Champions League rule that requires large single colour squares behind each player’s number, which has resulted in the ruination of half the kits in the group stages (with Barcelona and Celtic being particular victims).

A slightly less annoying, while still deplorable, tic is the re-appearance of the all lower case player names (see Villarreal, Arsenal, etc.). And special mention to Steaua Bucharest who somehow have managed to get a different shade of red on the back on their shirts from that on the front.

Remind me not to buy hot dogs wherever you shop. Thank you.

You seem to be missing the point on the Arsenal kit…(A) the club’s traditional away color is yellow, and (B) the kit itself is a tribute to the 1989 league winning team, hence the retro look…

I don’t know what’s worse; Arsenal’s kit, or Sagna’s hair.

Oh ok. Not that there would have been anything wrong with that.

Honestly? Hadn’t even thought about it. Arsenal was the first kit I noticed.
