Boca Juniors shirt history

Image
The first game that I will be at on Sunday sees Boca Juniors take on Paris Saint Germain. I have always wanted to go and see Boca Juniors and I can't see me getting over to Argentina any time in the near future, so I am going to have to make do with seeing them in North London. On my travels I have met plenty of Boca fans, but funnily enough they have all been Russian or Ukrainian. I am a bit disappointed that Martin Palermo has now retired, but I am still looking forward to it. Obviously to do justice to the club history of Boca Juniors I'd probably have to write a book, so here's a quick history of their kit and colours instead. When Boca were formed in 1905 they originally played in pink, but obviously came round to thinking that this was a bad idea and changed to a light blue colour later in the year. They didn't stick with this shirt for very long either and for the 3rd time in a year decided to change the shirt colour, this time to black and white stripes. The fol...

shirt history AS Roma

Image
Roma were the club that I followed in Italy and although they are most famous for wearing red and yellow, hence the nickname giallo rosso the club didn't always wear those colours. AS Roma were formed in 1927 by a merger between SS Alba-Audace and Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS with Italo Foschi being the driving force behind the merger. AS Roma could also trace their lineage back to FBC Roma who were formed in 1901 and who wore red and yellow, but the first shirts they wore took the red, white and blue of Fortitudo-Pro Roma. Roma soon established themselves at the top table of Italian football and in 1931 finished runners up to Juventus and by now had settled on red and yellow as their colours. However, you'll have to take my word for it because the picture below shows Attilio Ferraris in black and white. In 1942 Roma went one better and won their first Scudetto with Amadeo Amadei scoring 18 goals to help them secure the title. Pictured below he is wearing the change shirt with a repl...

Cruyff in the Bedroom

More music and football. Cruyff in the Bedroom are a Japanese Shoegaze band, who many people believe were heavily influenced by My Bloody Valentine, but who in my opinion have a much wider dimension to their music. They were formed in Shimikitizowa in 1998, which was the same year that Japan held the World Cup jointly with Korea. I don't know why they chose this name for the band, but we can safely assume that it was influenced by the former Dutch player, Johan Cruyff. I think that they are probably football fans, as one of their early EPs, Shoegazer of Happy Valley, featured a picture of a football pitch on the cover. Their debut album was Perfect Silence, which was released in 2002(see link below). Since then they have continued to release more music and are responsible for the only feedback club nights in their home town and the Only Feedback record label. Johan Cruyff is obviously one of the biggest names in World football, from 1964 - 1973 he spearheaded the Ajax team who won...
