Confused Clarity Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 These things really need to sod right off. Until I witnessed Honduras play, they were my single worst thing about the World Cup. I feel sorry for any of the players who are being forced to wear these abominations by their sponsors. If anybody watches the World Cup & thinks "oh, that's a good idea" they ought to be bloody well shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Saw a keeper with these boots and different coloured gloves too. Awful. One uniform rule change I would support. In related bit of boot banter, England rugby prop Joe Marler had a pop at a Premiership ref for wearing white boots earlier in the season: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltman Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 does anyone wear black boots these days? Does anyone actually manufacture black boots these days? Hilarious how what started as a merchandising gimmick has now become so normal that you pay virtually no notice to what's on a player's feet. Could wear purple clogs and you wouldn't notice.

It is because it's eye-catching. People see Chiellini with odd boots and think "wonder why Chiellini has those odd boots on... wonder who makes those boots... oh it's Puma..." and then you can't stop thinking about Puma. BOOM, you buy a full Puma kit and wear it 24/7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 each boot being a different colour is idiotic, which sponsor wants that? I agree, you pay zero attention to boots. I don't know which player wears which brand so in that sense it hardly does great for sponsors. I remember looking across the pitch in a game the other day and they were all orange. Orange is the new black though as they say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
