BusanBhoy Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Anyone know what the deal is with names (or the lack there of) of late? Just this past round I've seen : korea, saudi, bahrain, kuwait, uzbeck, n ireland, and numerous other that are now slipping my mind (these I'm sure cause these are the games I got to watch) all play without names (and in asia there has been alot of last min number switching as well). Is there something going on I don't know about? Just happenstance? Is this the new thing? If anyone has any insight - please share (I know this stuff is of little importance but i wonder none the less) peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Who knows? I grew up without names on shirts and have never really gotten used to it so as far as I'm concearned, good for them. Just a change in styling tastes I guess. And on that subject. Those Nike kits, like Portugal were wearing on Saturday, they're still not growing on me. Not a nice kit at all.

Daniel Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Ireland and Israel didn't have names either. And neither did we, but that's probably cause we're cheap bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 It should be noted, though this is probably obvious, that FIFA requires names on jerseys for the World Cup final tournament matches but not for World Cup qualifying matches. I assume this is to help the smaller countries? But, yeah, the larger countries are just being cheap and/or lazy. To add to the list of countries that did not have names on Saturday: Scotland, Romania, Sweden, Bulgaria. Italy and Netherlands had names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcl_19 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 The Belize Nats had their names on their jerseys!! The last time we did was at the gold cup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Isn't it just a slight impediment to on-the-fly scouting? Name bars couldn't run you more than $20 a piece. Not even the CSA is that cheap, I hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atiba will get a new one, but that's probably it. They just wash them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
