Valencia 2007-08 Away Kit

Tagged: La Liga - Valencia

As we all know, all games are not played on the home pitch. So when Valencia travels to play opposing sides, they will wear a Nike kit that is the same orange as in the unique Valencia badge.

What I like about this kit is the small markings of blue on the collar and the sleeves. This is a nice contrast in the color of the kit, and since there is no white on it aside from the Nike logo, it adds that much more. One thing that I am not too fond of is the mock collar. It looks alright, but as a player it would annoy me. Then again if I were playing for Valencia I’d be getting paid to play, so I think I’d let it slide. But as a Football Kit blogger, I do not like it. To each their own, the kit is simple and I like that. 3 out of 5 stars for Valencia’s 2007-08 La Liga Away Kit.

Valencia 2007-08 Home Kit

Tagged: La Liga - Valencia

Nike has always made nice kits in their short life in the world of football, and Valencia called upon them to create a kit for their 2007-08 La Liga campaign. How did they do? Well I have always liked Nike kits, and I think they did a wonderful job with this one as well.

Going in the opposite direction of most home kits, Nike and Valencia went with a solid white kit with the orange as a highlight color. Something that really stands out is the orange markings down the sides and on the collar. They are uniquely placed yet seem to flow nicely. I really think that the powers that be did a great job on this kit. It’s simple and matches the color scheme of the club perfectly, what can I say, that’s what I look for. This kit gets a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Bayern Munich 2007-08 Third Kit

When I found out that Bayern Munich and Adidas collaborated on a third kit, I was curious to see how it would turn out and if they would go with a black kit. Well I was glad to see a black kit, however I think that it is not as nice as it could have been. Bayern Munich in a black kit should be great looking, and I would be lying to you if I said I have seen this kit on a player or the pitch. However I think they missed a golden opportunity with this kit.

On a solid field of black, Adidas tried to incorporate the Bayern Munich color scheme by adding the standard three stripes in red down the sleeves and then a red and blue vertical stripe down the right side. This is the part I do not understand nor like. If they would have taken the away kit, made it a solid field of black with red stripes down the sleeves and blue markings it would easily have been a 4, possibly a 5. But this kit is nothing more than a 2.

Bayern Munich 2007-08 Away Kit

Like many of the clubs across the globe, Bayern Munich and Adidas went with a simple white kit for the away matches. I have nothing wrong with this, in fact I think the white kits often look sharp and classic on the pitch. It’s by far one of my favorite kit colors because of the simplicity.

On this kit Adida took the red and blue from the Bayern Munich badge and implemented the blue into the three stripes down the sleeves and the red with some markings down the sides. I really like the way this kit stands out and the colors of the badge are found throughout the kit. The one thing that I do not like, and this is for all of the newer Adidas kits, is the collar. It serves no purpose and to be honest look ridiculous on the players. Loose the collar and you have a 4 star kit, but with it, nothing more than a 3.

Bayern Munich 2007-08 Home Kit

Bayern Munich is one of the most fabled clubs in the world. One of the top German club teams, is it any wonder why Adidas is their kit manufacturer? When they take the home pitch for the 2007-08 Bundeslig campaign and try to bring home a fourth championship, they will do so in a tradtional kit that has not changed in years.

Adidas stuck with the traditonal red and white horizontal strips for the Bayern Munich home kit. I like the simplicity and the ability to not change, however I think it would look a little better with a touch of the blue that is in the Bayern Munich badge. If nothing more than to bring out the blue in the badge, it would make the kit look that much better. Overall a solid 3 out of 5 stars for the Bayern Munich Home Kit.

Roma 2007-08 Third Kit

Tagged: Roma - Serie A

After making two extremely nice kits for home and away matches, I was curious to see how Kappa and Roma would utilize their imagination for the alternate third kit. I was not dissapointed, this kit is the best out of the three…no question.

Using the same kit design as the home and away kits, Kappa took a solid black top and used the orange in the Roma badge as a highlight. Again keeping it extremely simple, it allows for all the other colors to flow smoothly and not look too cluttered. Out of the three kits that Roma will wear for the 2007-08 Serie A campaign, I think this has to be my favorite. I would venture as far to say this is one of my top five kits of the 2007-08 campaign…in the world. Solid 5 out of 5 stars for the Roma 2007-08 Third Kit.

Roma 2007-08 Away Kit

Tagged: Roma - Serie A

When Totti and his fellow Roma teammates take the pitch in another stadium, they will do so in a classic looking white Kappa kit. Utilizing the same kit as they wear for their home matches, Kappa and Roma management kept the away kit simple by making it all white.

I was looking at this kit trying to find something bad to say about it, and all I could come up with are the Kappa logo’s are a bit large for my liking. Seriously that was it, so if that is all I can come up with as to why I do not like the kit, it has to be a strong 4 out of 5 stars. Kappa and Roma really kept it simple and it allows for the off colors of the sponsor logo to flow freely. They did a nice job with this one.

Kappa has always been known to push the limits with kit designs. Think back to the 2002 World Cup when Kappa outfitted Italy with tight mesh like jerseys. Look around today and that is all you see, so I would say that makes them an innovator to say the least.

Well Kappa is the official kit manufacturer of Serie A contender Roma. What I like about this kit is it is simple, yet different, and the color scheme of the badge is the color of the kit. Hard to get this wrong if you follow those simple techniques. The only thing that I have never liked with Kappa is the need to put their logo all over the kit. Now this particular one is not bad, so I will not take too much away because of it. I guess it is no different than Adidas having the three stipes down the sleeve plus their logo. I am going to give this kit a strong 4 out of 5 stars, you keep it simple and that’s all I ask for.

Juventus 2007-08 Away Kit

Tagged: Juventus - Serie A

After making a great looking home kit for Juventus, Nike emerged with a horrible looking away kit for the 2007-08 campaign. Like Inter Milan and the jersey that looked like is should be worn by England, Juventus is wearing a kit that looks like it should be on the pitch for Sweden.

I do not know whose idea it was to add two yellow stripes to a field of all blue and call it an away kit for Juventus, but they should be fired. Granted it is simple and unique, two things I ask for with any kit, but this kit came out of the sky. I have no clue on the color scheme or story behind it. Over the years Juventus has had great kits, so I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that this kit has a story behind it. For that reason I am giving it 2 out of 5 stars, truthfully I think it deserves 1 star.

Juventus 2007-08 Home Kit

Tagged: Juventus - Serie A

There are two teams in the world that can pull off a white and black vertical stripe kit in this day and age. Newcastle United, and Juventus. Now I do not know who started it, nor do I care, however I do like the way this looks on the pitch. It demands respect, not to mention is just a great looking kit.

It is on the badge for Juventus, black and white vertical stripes, so why change from what you know? Nike utilized the traditional looking kit to outfit Juventus for the 2007-08 Serie A campaign with one small touch. They added red to the edge of the sleeves, collar and the Nike logo is red. This really makes the kit stand out from previous years. I have always liked this kit, and this year is no different. I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars because Nike took traditional and added a few touches to make it unique.
