Canada Home Shirt 2008/09

Posted on May 19th, 2008 in Canada by reddevilrooney

This will be the new home shirt for the Canadian National football (soccer) team. Football is not the main sport in Canada, and it struggles to compete with ice hockey, which is the most popular. Canada are ranked 62nd in the latest nation rankings issued by FIFA. Canada forms part of the CONCACAF governing body and is regulated by the Canadian Soccer Association.

Canada Home shirt

Adidas manufactures the shirts for the Canadian football team. The traditional colour of Canada is red, the reason for their nickname The Reds (Les Rouges), and the new home shirt follows this tradition. The Adidas’ three stripes are white, and the shirt has a white trim on the sleeves. The circular collar is partly white and partly red. The Adidas logo appears in white in the centre. There are details in white on the sides of the home shirt. The Canadians hope that this new shirt will bring them the luck they need to do well in the Qualification for World Cup 2010, which kicks off on the 15th June 2008 with a game against St Vincent and the Grenadines. The only World Cup in which Canada participated was the 1986 event held in Mexico.

    Think canada need to design a new badge to be honest, its pretty basic. I think just the maple leaf on its own would do just fine to be honest…as far as kit is concerned it aint the worst but still miles from being quality.

    Actually not bad at all. I am gonna buy it…being Canadian and all.

    Couldn’t agree with you more Phil_G about that badge. It’s as dated and unsophisticated as the Canadian Soccer Association who clearly came up with that disaster in the first place.

    Nice, but also quite boring. Looks exactly as IFK Gothenburgs away kit this season

    Where can you buy it? The previous rendition (with the odd asymmetric collar) didn’t seem to be on sale anywhere in North America.

    Alberto- Toronto FC is huge. Regular sellouts of 25,000 or so and as close to a European atmosphere as you’re going to find in NA. Their fans are that nuts about the club.
