New national team kit

I like that the jersey has the coat of arms. I think it would be a source of pride for an Australian representative to have a jersey with the coat of arms. Consequently I don’t have an issue with the replica jerseys not having it.
Yeah mate I guess it would be, but also no less a source of pride representing the national team under a federation logo like 90% of other countries around the world....

Probably, but I don't see an issue with the jersey badge being the coat of arms. Each country can obviously do their own thing, and I like the coat of arms for us. It has a continuity to it, whereas federation logos can be changed at the drop of a hat (or change in CEO, chairman, etc).

All good just a very minor pet peeve of mine... As a teenager it bothered me that my Socceroos kit looked fake compared to what the players wore... I dont understand why the average joe bloe can't wear clothing bearing the coat of arms but can make a bikini out of the national flag?

You lucky bastard (said like the Monty Python skit).....when I was a teenager it was impossible to even get a Socceroos kit.
 
Just in case anyone wants to see other angles and stuff - this is a leak of the Brazil kit - very similar to ours (but obviously the brighter Brazil colours)

Honestly don't mind the home version with our shading and colours. The away kit is also something new and different and we won't know until we see it. The Bunnings banter is great and the combination of eucalyptus and outback soil is the way I see it.

I think the fact they are promoting this now using club images, and not anyone in national gear means we're getting the kit launch in time for the friendlies.
They possibly showed Bryan Mbeumo in a Man U kit to attract Eurosnobs. "Hey look, the Socceroos are playing against a Man United player in Sydney". Shoulda used James Overy in the photo to say "Hey look, it's an Aussie Man U kid vs Bryan Mbeumo".

What was the late 90s/early 00's ads like when Bosnich was at Man Utd??
 
Still got that one. If only the Socceroos logo was embroidered rather than printed on. The silver emu washed out to white super quick....
Yep same thing happened to both of mine. Yes I said both. About 7-8 years later while at uni, we went op-shopping for a costume party, and I found one in the exact same size as mine with the coat of arms pristine for $5. I have now worn and washed it enough that it's faded too. Too bad I don't fit into either anymore lol
 
They came in tubs?? I remember the ones on sticks
There was Splice ice cream, it was similar colours to our current jersey and came in the 2L tubs circa 2016. Think of that lime/ vanilla taste, but the same creamy consistency all the way through.

I have to stop typing because remembering how delicious it was is actually pissing me off. Like the fact they never brought the McAmore burger back after its' run in 1996-97...
