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.

Nike:Take It To The Next Level - Directors Cut (HD) from malcolm md on Vimeo.

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.

Nike Soccer (Skulls) from alfred broadbent on Vimeo.

I saw this football video on Vimeo today, really really liked it. Thumbs up to Kenneth Capello.

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.

It’s still a struggle to find well designed and appealing football t-shirts on the internet these days. I was told about Objectivo, another American football shirt company, so I checked it out. I found one shirt that I liked the design of a bit more, the Arsene Wenger t-shirt, omitting the obvious copyright issues which they might get shut down for later on. But it’s an alright design, the message is pretty clear, and overall it looks appealing. The price is good as well.

As the topic is Arsenal, recently our friends at Arseshirts have closed shop! This is due to “legal issues.” That’s honestly not good news, they were one of the few that were actually good. Best of luck to them.

I’m glad to be getting responses on the posts being made here on the Cescy blog. I blogged earlier about a cool Barcelona t-shirt that I found randomly on flickr, and an awesome person by the name of Lee, has replied with the source of this football t-shirt for those interested in buying it. This led me to actually find a much nicer one (pictured above) which I recommend to you guys to buy. However, the 38 Euro price tag really sucks.

Check it here.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the latest signing for football giants and European Champions FC Barcelona. Ignoring price tags, the necessity of his signing, and obvious desires to show that they can keep up with Real Madrid on the signing spree, I’d like to look at the branding aspect surrounding the Zlatan signing.

Nike really gets a lot of attention when a Nike player is signed to a Nike sponsored club. In this case, the amount of pictures shown in papers and websites all over the world have Zlatan not only in a Barcelona shirt, but also wearing the Nike logo t-shirt.

Just look at the crazy amount of Nike logos in that picture, it’s insane. I’m sure that Nike logo t-shirt is not his favorite shirt. But fair enough, money is money.
