Fancy Dress Outfits For The Team Gb 2012 Supporters

By:


Adidas, a German sports apparel designer, manufacturer and the official sportswear partner for London 2012 Olympics, has released a new commemorative shirt to be worn by the Team's supporters during the upcoming Olympic Games 2012 hosted in London. The launch of the official Team GB supporter limited edition shirt, available as part of Adidas football kits, has caused some controversy among football fans.

Team GB Success

For one thing, the launch of the new commemorative football kit celebrates the first Great Britain football team to enter the Olympics since 1971. The GB team last qualified for the Olympic Finals in Italy in 1960 but was eliminated after a 3-4 defeat to Brazil, a 2-2 draw with Italy and a 3-2 win against France. The upcoming Olympics are a significant football event for Britain and a big opportunity for the Team to show great results. This is exactly when the Team's fans in specially designed football kits are expected to support the players.

The Price Tag

However, certain groups of fans were not very happy about the launch of the new commemorative shirt because of its price. Costing 52 pounds, the shirt by Adidas is not to be worn by the players during the Olympics, but is designed for the fans only. Unlike many discount football kits sold on the web, the official Team's supporter shirt seems to be quite expensive for many fans, which has caused some discussions on Twitter and Facebook. According to some fans, the garment is unlikely to fly off the shelves at such a price. What concerns the actual Team GB football kits, they are expected to be launched in 2012.

The Controversy

Not only the price of the shirt has brought about some debate among fans, but the fact that it is modelled by leading Welsh Barclays Premier League footballers Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey has also caused controversy as the Football Association of Wales officially opposed its players from participating in the upcoming Olympics as part of the Team, just like Scotland and Northern Ireland did. The players themselves don't see why they should miss the opportunity to represent Great Britain in the Olympics if they have a chance to. As a spokesman for Gareth Bale put it, "while he is 100% Welsh, he is also British".

The Look

Despite all the controversy surrounding the launch of the new limited edition commemorative shirt, it's worth mentioning that the shirt by Adidas boasts a clever design and construction. Unique heat reactive fabric is used to keep sweat and heat away from the player's body providing comfort throughout the game. The piece of football apparel is made of 100% polyester and features the brand logo and the Team GB badge.

Even though the official Team GB football kits are going to be released in 2012 only, the Team's supporters have a wonderful possibility to get limited edition commemorative shirts available on the web. Wearing the Team GB shirt during the upcoming Olympics is a great way to support the players.
