Just a tribute to the great George Best who would have bee 67 years of age today.

Manchester City are the latest Premier League club to un-veil their new home kit for next season, traveling Stateside (where they now have major business concerns) to unveil their smart new Nike home strip for 2013/14 ahead of a post-season friendly against Chelsea in St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday.

The new home shirt is a classic football design, and unmistakably Manchester City, featuring a sky blue body with a white ribbed crew neck and white ribbed cuffs on the sleeves.

The collar and cuffs both also feature a dark blue trim to represent the colour of the socks City wore as a part of one of their first ever kits in 1892.

On this new shirt the Manchester City club crest is placed inside a shield shape. This is inspired by the city of Manchester’s coat of arms, which City used as their own club crest for special occasions including the 1956 FA Cup final.

The new home shorts are white with a thin sky blue stripe along each side, while the new home socks are white with a sky blue band at the top with a dark blue trim to represent the socks the club wore for over half a century from 1892.

The kit is made from recycled polyester in accordance with Nike’s commitment to produce athletic wear with a low environmental impact. The shirt and shorts of each kit are made from up to thirteen recycled plastic water bottles.

In the pioneering process plastic bottles are melted down to form yarn that is spun into recycled polyester, reducing energy consumption by up to 30 percent compared to manufacturing virgin polyester. Since 2010, Nike has diverted more than 1.1 billion plastic bottles from landfills through the use of recycled polyester.

The kit is made of fabric weighing just 150 grams, 23 percent lighter than previous Nike kits. It also boasts a 20% stronger knit structure and significantly improved stretch.

The fabric is integrated with Nike Dri-FIT technology to draw sweat away from the body to keep players cool and dry.

Updated and improved ventilation zones consisting of tiny laser-cut holes on both sides and across the entire back of the shirt, as well as at the shorts’ waistband allows more air inside the kit for additional comfort and cooling.

The new Manchester City Home kit will be available to buy on-line for our US readers at WorldSoccerShop.com and Soccer.com and for our European readers at Subside Sports or UKsoccershop.com.

With his team lying bottom of the Argentine Primera Division this disgruntled Argentinos Juniors fan brought a whole new meaning to the term, throw your hat at it as he despatched his dentures onto the field during his sides 3-1 loss to Belgrano, before calming his nerves with a good old cigarette.

Parma left-back Massimo Gobbi scores just his second goal in three years with Parma, with this fantastic volley off of Chilean midfielder Jaime Valdés chipped free kick to the edge of the box, where Gobbi let off a left-footed rocket into the top-left corner.

I’ve seen some cracking free-kick routines in my life but this was most definitely the best of the season even if it didn’t hit the back of the net it was original!

Although Massimo Gobbi’s was ingenious at the week-end

The home and away kits that Barcelona will wear next season have been unveiled, revealing a take on tradition, according to Football Espana.

La Blaugrana will maintain blue and red colouring for the home jersey, as well as switching back for next season to a regular and more traditional striped pattern, with a yellow V-shaped collar marked out. The shorts and socks are blue, with the socks including yellow detailing.

The away style, as reported as far back as last September, adopts the colours and design of the Senyera, the flag that represents four of Spain’s autonomous communities – Catalonia, Aragon, Valencia and the Balearic Islands – and is also used on the Spanish coat of arms.

This is the first time in the club’s history that the away kit has fully integrated the Catalan flag into its design. The shorts and socks are yellow with red detailing.

Detailing on both shirts will see the stripes fade out on the sleeves, whilst both shirts, designed and manufactured once more by Nike, debut the club’s new shirt sponsors Qatar Airways.

The kits are also made of recycled material, with the club’s Press release listing that 13 recycled plastic bottles are used to make an average shirt and shorts set.

The new Barcelona kit will be available to buy on-line for our US readers at WorldSoccerShop.com and Soccer.com and for our European readers at Subside Sports or UKsoccershop.com.

This is the new England kit specially designed for the FA’s 150th Anniversary this year and is readily available on-line for our US readers at WorldSoccerShop.com and Soccer.com and for our European readers at Subside Sports or UKsoccershop.com.

A clean, distinctive design takes the kit back to its roots with its traditional colors of white and dark blue to celebrate the Football Association’s 150th anniversary.

The iconic three lions crest was prominently featured in dark blue on the team’s first kit, and once again, the crest is the proud focus – now with a gold border, a gold star above it signifying England’s World Cup win, and a gold ribbon graphic below inscribed with “150 years” and the dates 1863 and 2013, marking the Football Association’s anniversary.

The blue on the new kit is the same dark blue colour that featured on England’s first kit. Embodying the clean lines and understated style of the best of English fashion, the white shirt features a dark blue classic crew neck collar, while two side vents on the hem of the shirt subtly feature the St George’s cross. The shorts are entirely dark blue and the socks are white with a thin dark blue band at the top.
