My Favourite National Team - Argentina!

Thought I'd share some of the collections from my favourite national team. Nope, sad to say its not Malaysia - they come a close second. Not that I am not patriotic or anything - I was a keen follower of Malaysian football before ASTRO invaded our homes and introduced us to the new religion of EPL. Its just that the impact that the Football God had on me was so great that His country had to come first.

I remember my first Argie jersey was the Reebok Home shirt - 1997 if I am not mistaken. I remember getting it from ALI at BB. There is a sad twist to this. I asked ALI to fixe NN for MARADONA 10 and when I came back to collect it, to my horror only MARADONA was printed...I was told that they ran out of the number "1"!! Sigh I didnt want to make a fuss out of it, so just took it off without thinking much...after almost 10 years, the jersey is still the way it looks...haha....i don think they have the same font anymore. The back of the shirt is not shown here..too painful a memory...



Besides that, I have bought another few others. I am surprised at myself that I didnt buy more of their other jerseys. The other few I have include the Reebok Away with MARADONA 10 and the 2006 Home with MESSI 19. Yes, the "A" in the Maradona dropped...gonna get it fixed soon.









Since I am on the topic of Argentina, might as well share my other related jerseys which includes (yes another) MRADONA 10 Boca Juniors Centennary jersey and MARADONA 10 testimonial replica jersey. These were my first purchase from Subside and I wasn really impressed with the speed of delivery. Less then the promised 10 days. But delivery costs was real high I remember. So uless you buy in bulk, this may not be a good site to buy (cos Malaysia is not one of the priority delivery coun tries, the price is not fixed - can go as high as GBP30!).












Finally, thought should share this as well. This was my first fake:) Bought it in Wangsa Maju. Looks nice but not nice to wear at all. It was an easy decision to stick with Oris after that. :)

I may dedicate a post to him later. Will dig through to see if I can find some clips to share.
