Will this be the shirt of a World Cup winner? Spain soccer shirt

 

That question will soon be answered. In the interim I can tell you about one of these exquistive Spanish World Cup jerseys I recently received to review from Soccer Pro, my favorite home for World Cup apparel and soccer gear.

 

The shirt is a bright, radiant red with tiny blue trim on the neck and sleeve ends and, being an adidas brand, the ubiquitous three stripes in gold on the sleeves. The full, deep red and brilliant gold make a nice combination, one of the great color pairings in the color wheel. Besides the great colors of the shirt there's the emblem on the chest, a classic elaborate beauty full of Spanish political symbolism. In fact it closely mirrors the coat of arms of the Spanish republic.

It fit me perfectly. I haven't had the chance to try it out on the field but being one the adidas ClimaCool shirts I'm sure it's lightweight and breathable.

 

One of the best things about this shirt though is its timeliness. It's arrived just in time for the Final and, best of all, just in time for me to pass this on to my friend Marcelo, the most rabid fan of La Furia Roja that I know.

It's a fine shirt. Like the little blue bits, and Adidas Clima Cool jerseys are excellent-- even in melting-hot Washington DC humid summer weather you can play in a shirt like that and be fairly comfortable. If there is a breeze going one's sweat evaporates rather quickly.

It looks like the World Cup final will feature Spain's red shirt versus the Netherlands white "away" kit. Both excellent shirts to root for if you're a neutral kit supporter.
