Kaka Wears 2011/2012 Real Madrid Home Kit

On my new Tumblr blog, called Loving That Soccer, I recently posted a picture of Kaka wearing the Adidas Real Madrid home kit for next season. While there have always been rumours and leaked images of possible designs of the Real Madrid kit, there were never concrete images to prove anything.

The new kit features pretty snazzy gold designs on the jersey, shorts, and socks along with the Adidas logo being golden. The collar is also new, and I prefer it a lot more to the the the past season's. While I like the design quite a bit, others might not find the gold design very appealing.

My Tumblr blog is soccer/football photos, usually ones which I find funny or inspiring. Take a look and follow if you like it.

Inter Milan 2011/12 Home Kit Leaked

Nike have had their designs leaked again. Around this time of year all of the kits of the upcoming season somehow finish on the internet. Nike's possible latest design for the Inter Milan kit of 2011/12 has been leaked, similarly to Barcelona's, Manchester United's, Arsenal's and Juventus's.

Nike's latest designs seem to offer this idea of having thin stripes which diagonally thicken. We saw this before with Barcelona's 2011/12 home kit which was leaked some time ago. It should also be noticed that the sleeves and collar are completely black, offering contrast to the white Nike and Pirelli logos.

Many Inter fans don't like the new design, saying that they prefer thicker stripes. In my opinion it's a nice kit, but then again I'm rarely picky regarding kits.

This is the only photo which has been circulating around on the internet, and it looks like it could very well be next season's design for Inter. I'm curious to see what Nike are going to do with Inter's away kit, mainly because this past season's was exceptionally well designed with the dragon up along the side of the kit.

Here's the same picture of the kit below, except slightly larger:

So if Nike are deciding to go with this diagonally thickening pattern on their striped kits for next season, are you gonna buy them? Do you like this new design by Nike? What technological advancements do you think will come with this kit? Share your comments about it below!

Barcelona's New Jersey With Qatar Foundation Sponsor

Possible Barcelona 2011/12 away shirt with the Qatar sponsor

When Barcelona announced that they would be allowing the Qatar Foundation to be their shirt sponsor, the world gasped. What about Unicef? Where would they go? Fans were assured that the expert designers at Nike would do their best to incorporate the two sponsor logos somehow.

This is the first sneak peak at a possible Barcelona 2011/12 away shirt, and there's no sign of Unicef on it. This shirt is certainly part the away kit, with the blaugrana stripes remaining on the home shirt. I really like this black color mixed with the golden detailing, it's got a sleek look to it. 

As for the home shirt, there was a possible design leaked some time ago which has sparked a reaction (mostly negative) from fans. Next season's home shirt features much thinner stripes with a diagonal pattern of the stripes getting thicker. While you might be recoiling in disgust, I actually don't think it's that bad. The blaugrana colors are still there, and the thickness of the stripes isn't really important to me.

Barcelona's 2011/12 home shirt design which was leaked

While the Unicef logo is still on the image of the home shirt, it's probably only because the Qatar Foundation logo hadn't been designed yet. What are your thoughts regarding the kits and the whole matter of Barcelona finally selling the front of their shirt to a sponsor? While I think it's sad that Barcelona change their history for economic gain, it was going to happen one day or another. 

I like both of the designs, especially the away one, which one is your favorite? Share your comments below!
