ADIDAS BASKETBALL CELEBRATES CAMARADERIE IN SPORT BY CREATING A COMMERATIVE CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB SHOE INSPIRED BY KEVIN GARNETT

The TS Commander LT X KG CFC will be sold nationwide with a limited edition package available at Bodega. Following the highly anticipated US Tour of the English Premier League’s Chelsea Football Club to the US for “friendly” matches in summer 2009, one loyal, yet unexpected, fan’s enthusiasm has spurred the creation of a limited-edition shoe to celebrate the camaraderie of sport.

Long standing CFC fan, NBA All-Star Kevin Garnett was the inspiration behind the new CFC- themed adidas TS Commander LT. This limited edition shoe incorporates an iconic royal blue and white split suede upper, a laser etched soccer ball pattern on the midsole and CFC yellow accents, including the team’s traditional lion’s crest, embossed on the tongue.

Newcastle United x Adidas 2009/10 Away Jersey

// June 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Football

It’s bad enough a team the size of Newcastle was relegated to the Championship for 09/10  but to add insult to injury some brilliant member of the outgoing management approved this horrendous shirt.

The design itself is classics and not overstated and is also the same template as the Adidas 09/10 home shirt but the colors are just awful. I would rather have seen a light blue (a traditional team color usually seen on the crest and the trim of previous shirts) then this piss yellow disaster.

Let’s hope the Toon fight their way back to the top and shed themselves of the horrible ownership that lead them to relegation (and approved this train wreck of a jersey).
