New World Cup Home Jerseys

The JFA has released the new jersey that we will wear for our "home" matches in South Africa. At first I didn't really know what to think of the design, but its been growing on me little by little. The biggest difference with this new jersey relative to the old, is the addition of the Japanese flag above the JFA emblem, and the red bit on the neckline. The flag is a welcome addition, but I can imagine that the red may be a point of contention for the fashionistas out there. I'm going to go ahead and say that I like it, it breaks up the monotony of the blue and seems to give the jersey an edge that it didn't have before. Leave comments or send e-mail feedback and let me know what you think. Also, if any of you have an idea of where one can purchase reasonably priced Blue Samurai apparel, please send me a link. I've had a number of readers asking about where they could make wise purchases.

We're still waiting on the release of the "Away" jerseys.

Also, the Blue Samurai take on the South Africans in South Africa this Saturday the 14th. More on that to follow.
