    Those kits look very underwhelming to be honest. Like a bog standard training shirt you can pick up in Sports Direct for £10.

    When a plain shirt hasn't already reached iconic status like the England white, Germany white, Brazil yellow, Italy blue etc, I'd expect the design to try and stand out a bit more. Include an outline of the Philippine Islands or an Azkal. Jazz up the sleeves. The badge has been designed on MS Paint.

    For a domestic audience, I don't think there would be any enthusiasm to even buy counterfeits for P200. Opportunity missed to promote the Azkals.

    Azkals derived from askals meaning stray street dogs.

    There are also "concept" kits which look very nice for a tourist.

    They are very bright and based on the Philippine flag but would look ridiculous on the football field IMO.
    I prefer the kit in the original link, you don't need to wear a pair of sunglasses to be able to look at it :)

    Bright and garish clothes can look great on Africans with dark skins but look dreadful on white-skinned people.

    I often tell my wife when out clothes shopping that bright colours look great against her dark hair and stunning complexion.

    Correct, but the pinoy team aren't dark skinned so those tops just look garish, the best jeans I ever saw were on an African, stonewash jeans with AFRICA running down the legs in faux zebra type black and white striped fur, I felt dizzy looking at them :)

    My wife has just received more skin whitening soap :eek:
    She has the same lovely coloured skin as your wife, Mattecube, from the photos of the Fil-Brit gathering back in 2016 :)
    She says it is good to stop pimples.
    What do I know? :lol::lol:

    When we last went back to the Philippines ( wife had been in the UK about 3 years) her father commented that she was whiter, I don't see it myself, and she still is gorgeous , and I tell her often.

    We all know on this forum how friendly Filipinos are :lol:
    Surely that should be classed as sexual abuse or interference, or both :rolleyes:
