      This is pretty fucking cool. Parma of Serie A put the names of every season ticket holder on their new home kits.




      Supporters of the Serie A side might not have had cause for much celebration last season as they missed out on qualification for the Europa League, finishing eighth in Italy's top flight.

      But they appear to have been more than rewarded for their support after bosses revealed the new shirt for the 2012-13 campaign.

      It features the names of all the club's season ticket holders, with the identities shown in grey on the traditional white and black kit.

      Parma executives might just have made a shrewd decision to honour their fans in such a way, with many likely to purchase the shirt in order to spot their name.

      However, they are not the first club to use their matchday attire to recognise the role of their most committed supporters.

      Spanish side Alaves did exactly the same thing when they designed a commemorative shirt for their Uefa Cup campaign in 2000-01.

      On that occasion, the shirt served them well as they went all the way to the final of the European competition, where they lost a dramatic match 5-4 to Liverpool.

        I finally got sick of re-duct taping my cleats all the time so I picked up some new ones. Hopefully these last as long as my previous ones.

        I've had these since '07 (T90 Laser):


        Mine:



        My new ones:





        They're so pretty.

          I pretty much made the exact same swap the other day. I had those same T90's, but they only had the reddish pink color for the new ones so I have that instead.

            Gonna go try mine out later when it's 90 instead of 96. Ugh.

              The T90s were a damn impressive shoe I must say.

              Also, anyone want to edit this and put in it....."Not a single fuck is given"

                  Also being able to play on this field throughout the summer is sweet (it's turf if it wasn't obvious).

                        lived during the 2010 summer. currently in Paris. don't live in Paris if you don't know French because they are

                        i was a light bandwagon Real Madrid fan for years. i liked soccer, followed it, and just picked RM because they were Barcelona's rivals. but there was no real loyalty to any team until i studied in Manchester. i decided that i speak English, i hated visiting Spain, i love the city of Manchester, so let's pick one of the EPL teams here and stick with it. to me united was like Barcelona, everyone and their grandma is a fan. i wanted a team no one but the locals cheered for so i picked City. unfortunately their main color is sky blue (i hate UNC-CHeats) and they won trophies too fast. so now i feel like a bandwagon fan. in all honesty, i probably should have picked Liverpool but i hated the city and already have a friend who loves Liverpool ... i would have felt like i was piggybacking on his fanship.

                        so i am a committed City fan and would still be if they weren't winning titles ...note my lifetime struggle of cheering for NC State and the Carolina Panthers... but i can't say i am much different from bandwagon City fans given the unfortunate timing
