Can Italy still change thier kit before the World Cup, I mean this is a ******* joke?
Compared to the gorgeous ones made for 2002 and 2003 This one is revolting.

I just don't know if I'll be able to watch them play when I cant stare at thier jerseys for over 5 seconds with out shuttering.

I have a feeling the person who decided the design for those kits doesn't like Italys team very much.

If I was in Germany I would rather wear the opposing fan's jerseys to the game then thos pieces of ****.

and thats not the correct world cup logo that will be on the kits either.

Its wierd,i thought the new Italian kits actually looked alright in the game against Holland.The blue neck part is nicely meshed and i think they look ok now.Even the Spanish kits looked good.Just take a bit of getting used to i guess.

Italy : PUMA's Italian Away Kit with Neil Barrett
November 10, 2005

Leading Sport Lifestyle Company PUMA AG launches the 2006 Italian National Team Away Kit designed in collaboration with Neil Barrett. The away kit will make its debut in a friendly against Holland in Amsterdam on November 12th.

For his second Italian National Team kit design, Barrett's signature styling of clean lines, slim tailoring and layered garments come to the forefront. A deep v-neck revealing the new FIGC badge on an azzurri blue underlay creates a statement look for the team. The distinctive styling of the white v-neck creates a sophisticated, yet understated feel. This deep v-neck technique also hints at the team's new 2006 home kit to be released on March 1st.

"Launched under the tag 'Italians Look Better,' the kit embodies the charisma of the team," said Filip Trulsson, PUMA Teamsport Business Unit Manager. "Italians are known for their inherent style and we think it's a necessity to maintain this essence of fashion when creating the football kit for the team. Through Barrett's vision and our internal design talent, we are continually able to deliver a performance kit with unique visual interest and appeal."

Over the past two years, Neil Barrett has worked closely with PUMA's design team merging the brand's technical sport integrity with his fashion sensibility. All of the garments, from the playing kit to the team apparel, utilize proven functional materials and cut lines to provide optimum performance. The shirt introduces a new groundbreaking woven rip-stop fabric, specially developed for PUMA in close co-operation with Toray Textiles and Manchester Metropolitan University. The woven fabric is extremely lightweight, carries outstanding wicking properties and has limited stretch to prevent shirt pulling.

Of British descent, Neil Barrett's professional history is thoroughly Italian, including five years as Senior Menswear Designer at Gucci, four years as Design Director of Prada Menswear and launching his own brand name collection in 1999 produced by among others, the Prada Group and Allegri.

Company will achieve their goals by continuing to do what they have always done – harnessing their resources and experiences to provide their consumers with innovative products that successfully fuse the creative influences from the world of sport, lifestyle and fashion. Established in Herzogenaurach, Germany in 1948, PUMA distributes products in over 80 countries.

I think it is a case of simply Puma trying to hard and going overboard with an extremly ****ty design. It does look slightly better when they are playing in it, but I still think it is one of the worst looking kits I have seen bar the first MLS kits :hump:
