The shirt is designed by the British Fashion Label Joystick Junkies, a brilliant bunch of lads with an awkward fetish for atari and old-school clothes. I think this is a fine collection of pixels and I’m going to buy this football shirt sometime soon. It’s only 25 pounds, and you can get it here.

The new Nike CTR 360 football boot looks really sick. I just got a pair of Adidas Adipures, and I’m already starting to regret that I didn’t wait for these Nike’s to come out. They look nice, and it’s a good step above the total 90’s. What do you think about them?

Here’s a nice video:

Another creative football video coming from the nike soccer website. This one features Cesc in what goes on behind the scenes of a brilliant football mind. If only it was that easy… Check it out right here.

I love charity and I love good causes. One of these good causes is the Homeless World Cup. And since this site is concerned mainly about football shirts, I’ve found this great charity homeless world cup 2009 tee shirt (pictured above). The shirt was born out of a collaboration between Soccer Pro and Calle, the freestyle football brand. Although the design isn’t overly impressive, the message is clear and Calle put their style into a very nice charity gesture. All the revenues will be donated to the Homeless World Cup and you have until Sept. 30 to buy one.

And continuing with charitable acts, why not apply to win $1000? It comes in the form of a soccer scholarship awarded by Soccer Pro. If you’re involved in football and you’re a full time college student, you can apply and potentially win this awesome scholarship.

You can imagine my childlike happiness this morning when I picked up my new package from my friends at Soccer Pro. I was walking home humming the tunes of Paolo Nutini, singing “heeeyy I put some new shoes onnn and suddenly everything’s alriiiite,” without the scottish accent of course. And this time, I ordered a fresh pair of Adidas adiPURE II TRX. I saw Kaka wear these boots, and I read a lot of reviews about them before deciding to get them. In soccer shoes, I usually go for the classic look, going more for comfort than to show off. And these looked likely to fit the bill for me. I was always a massive fan of the Adidas Copa Mondial and the Kaiser5, they were the best Adidas Soccer Shoes in my opinion and I’m actually quite pissed off that Adidas took off the Kaisers from production a long time ago. But c’est la vie. It’s time to decide if the adiPURE are close to being the same quality of shoe.

Let’s look at the scorecard from my first experience with the Adidas AdiPURE shoes. I’ll judge them on three criteria, which I feel are the most important to everyone when looking for a new shoe.

Look/Design:
I really think that the design is more appealing than something like the Mercurial vapours, but that’s just because I like the classic look more. They’re fresh leather, they smell like leather, and they shine like leather on top of it. The AdiPure logo is not intrusive and it’s more coming out of the leather than being printed on - which is fantastic. I love the look, classic black and white. I give it a 9. The only shoes that look cooler are the Pantofola D’oro shoes, but they cost a tad bit more.

Feel/Comfort
It was a bit weird to put them on at first because I’m so used to the thinner Nike shoes, or the thinner old Adidas shoes. However, I have to say that I’m falling in love with the extra comfort and padding that these shoes offer. They’re just really really comfortable. The heel is protected by metal and your foot is held nicely in a padded interior. Playing for 2 hours, I didn’t feel like it was a relief to take them off as usual, I wanted to walk home in them. I give it a 9 for comfort as well.

Touch/Feeling of the ball
Like I said already, it was a bit weird to touch the ball since they are a bit more thick than other shoes. However, the leather really sticks to the ball and it’s easy to move around and feel the ball with these shoes. I have to break them in to really feel the ball, but it wasn’t so bad. It was weirder when I put on a pair of vapors than with these adiPURE boots. I give it an 8 for touch and feeling of the ball.

Great shoe all-in-all, and I recommend it to everyone. Thanks again to soccerpro for taking care of my order and my feet!

A brilliant Thierry Henry football wallpaper makes the top 10 wallpapers at number 7. Simply fantastic.

I was taking a close look at more blogs to see which to recommend to the Cescy readers. I’ve known about The Republik of Mancunia for a long time, and always appreciated the way in which the blogger writes, banters, and the way the website looks. It’s a Manchester United blog, that has a lot of interesting posts, well-run forums, and ever football t-shirts. However, as much as I am impressed by the site itself, and the author, the football tees lack in the quality of design aspect. If there was something I could ask for improving on this site, it’s the merchandise. There are some witty ones though, just don’t expect Nike soccer designs. If you’re a manc, check it out. I recommend it.

The Premier League opened up with some sick games, especially the Arsenal game that saw Cesc Fabregas score 2 goals and get one assist. I think the picture does justice to summarize the opening weekend. A fantastic Cesc Fabregas in the red Arsenal shirt.

This cesc fabregas wallpaper was made by Dani26 from Futbolesarte.com. Really good work from the spaniard, loving it. Football wallpapers websites are available in many different languages, and many will be featured in this top 10.

Nike Football always makes these little awesome football videos, and they made one for the new season, with players from Arsenal and Manchester United. Check it out here, and lay it on the line.

PUMA WPS from Syrup NYC on Vimeo.

PUMA, the official sponsor of Women’s Professional Soccer, also known as WPS, is proud to announce the beginning of a campaign that showcases the greatest female soccer players in the world. Leslie Osborne, Amy Rodriguez and Marta serve as the ambassadors for what will surely become one of the most celebrated female sports leagues ever. The launch campaign from Syrup and PUMA is not about comparing women to men. It’s not about protesting for equal salaries and media coverage. It’s about recognizing great play on the field. It’s about celebrating the joy of exceptional performance and teamwork. When great players play, they take their rightful place on the world stage. Awesome doesn’t beg for attention or ask for permission. Awesome is self-evident. Rolling out across TV, print, online and OOH the “Recognize Awesome” launch will introduce the unique personality, performance and style of each of our awesome stars.

Why not?

Absolutely loved this football picture from the hidden goodness of flickr. Enjoy.

The number 9 in my top 10 football wallpapers top list is a brilliant wallpaper made by the guys at West Coast Remix, the best when it comes to wallpaper design, especially dealing with basketball. It’s a great Chelsea wallpaper, and makes my top 10 wallpaper list.

Besides bringing in a fresh new swagger with the arrival of Adebayor, Manchester City have a whole new outfit for the new season which is sure to turn some heads. I didn’t see the new Manchester City 2009-2010 jersey until the Premier League kicked off, and I was pleasantly surprised by the new look, and the new way of playing. Football shirts should look like this, and it’s nice to see Umbro coming up with something nice for a change.

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting what I consider as the best 10 football wallpapers ever designed and released on the internet.

I’ll begin with number 10.

A fantastic Cristiano Ronaldo wallpaper. A classic to keep in mind.

An old football commercial it might be, but a great one either way. I thought about it today, and decided to share it. The story of Robin van Persie, and his day-to-day life at Arsenal and Holland. For those that missed it, the post if for you.

The new Puma Goalkeepers Union website delivers a community for goalkeepers worldwide, with a stylish look and great appeal. I recommend it to goalkeepers interested in equipment and advice. Check it out, and maybe you find some nice football shirts for goalkeepers or learn a thing or two.
