Football Championship of minor importance: Shirts.

When choosing a sports team, uniforms matter. I've always been fascinated by sports uniforms: the colors, the logos, etc. I've long been a fan of the blog Uni Watch and can't wait to share pointless tidbits about my teams' fashion.

Over at Avoiding the Drop, they are having an excellent tournament of football shirts that you can participate in. Each head to head competition includes a picture and description of the jerseys with just enough snark. Personally, I don't think there is a more elegant shirt than the 1960s Ireland national team shirt (though the current Man City shirt is going to be a strong contender).

What's your favorite? Leave a comment.

Update: They're onto the Round of 16!


Thanks to Brian for the link, even if he is a jerk about baseball.
