New Turkey Away Shirt 08/09

Posted on December 1st, 2007 in Turkey by admin

Here is the Nike produced Turkish away kit for the 2008/09 season and the European Championships this summer in Austria & Switzerland. Turkey qualified for the tournament out of Group C at the expense of Norway who were a point behind them in the final table.

The kit is a white with a blue/turquoise colour for the details. This includes around the  v-neck collar of the shirt and the Nike swoosh on the right chest. On the left chest is the Turkish flag in red. There is further detail on the back of the Turkey shirt with a blue curve from sleeve to sleeve.

    turqouise IS in fact the turkish (osmanian) blue!!

    It has a cultural background. And its just the away dress, lets wait for the home. And i guess dressed the kit will look very good

    This shirt separated Turkey into two parts, lovers & haters. Some say the kit must contain colours of our flag as always (red & white) and others think change is good. Turquoise means “Colour of the Turk” in french (or so they say) it is said that in medieval ages, only Turkish artists can paint ceramics in this colour. The european artists had tried so much to copy this colour but were unable to do so. A sportswriter Mehmet Demirkol first mentioned that Turkey must wear turquoise jerseys, a few months later manager Fatih Terim announced that the new away kit will include turquoise details. This jersey can be the beginning of a new era. It is planned to switch to a full turquoise shirt in a few years, and be recognized with this color like Azzuri of Italy and Orange of the Netherlands.

    The first match is really important for Turkey and the future of the turquoise kit. Turks have a strange luck issue. When being beaten 8-0 by England in 1984 the Inonu stadium (the stadium of Besiktas JK :) was marked as “The Unlucky Stadium” and not used for national matches for a long time. If Turkey loses their first match in this shirts it will also be cursed and unlucky.

    So this shirt is a first, but it also can be the last. Anyway, although it’s not a very nice design in my humble opinion, it is a nice collectible.
