Serbia





Neven Subotic (Borussia Dortmund / Germany)
Serbia vs. Bulgaria (0:1) | friendly 2010 in Bulgaria

My friend Oliver, which most of you probably know, stopped collecting shirts to get money to visit Bulgaria in May. So I asked him to sell me some of his shirts. He just sent me some of them as you might have seen here earlier (Pakistan, India, Australia, etc.) and there was still an enourmos parcel to send to me. He just saved some money and repacked the parcel a couple of times. Now he finally send me this final parcel. I really love it. It contained some PS3 games including FIFA12 and a biography of Pele. Besides it contains a couple of shirts of national teams and 2 Liverpool shirts as a gift. I am so happy to know you and I really appreciate this gifts, mate ! Below I attached a picture of the whole amount of shirts and the Warrington School banner, which he send me, too. It is hanging at my desk now ;)

Back to topic. This shirt is quite boring as all Serbia shirts are. They beat Germany in South Africa and so they are not my most favorite team :P You can see Zigic wearing the shirt above.

Here is the picture of the whole package of shirt:

Faroe referee kit




I got this lovely Faroe FA referee kit from the Faroese FIFA Referee Assistant Regin Egholm. Mr Egholm is one of the members of madur12, the official Faroe FA fan club, so I added him on facebook and asked him for a Faroe shirt a couple of months ago. He could not help me there but we had a couple of nice chats and he told me that he is refeering, too. So I asked him for a shirt, and here it is ;) In addition he sent me those above FIFA badges and lighters and pens from madur12. The shirt came signed by him and with shorts and even socks :) I am really happy for this nice addition to my collection and for the nice contact to Mr Egholm. Thanks a lot for this, man ! I really look forward to meet you in Hannover in September when Faroe play against Germany. Of course I will come in a Faroe shirt :D

Guyana







Guyana vs. Costa Rica (0:7) | WC 2014 qualifier | 2012 in Guyana

This pretty sweet shirt came as a swap from Nick, too. I used to annoy some Guyana sport shops a couple of weeks ago. One day I got a newsletter of one of them which told me that replicas are available right now. So I told Nick and he got some of them. I love the colourful design of the Jaguars.

Turks & Caicos Islands





Turks & Caicos Islands vs. Bahamas (0:6)
WC 2014 qualifier | 2011 in Bahamas


Finally I got the TCIFA shirt I organized about a month ago. Nick paid for it and got the shirts. So I had to find a swap or pay for it to get it. As I gave him the Mongolia shirt he sent me this TCIFA now.
The shirt is pretty nice and "different" to all those other templates and there is a sweet story surrounding it.
I contacted the Turks and Caicos Football Association a couple of month ago. They told me that they will order new shirts for the upcoming WC Qualifier matches and that they could just order 5 more of them to send it to me (or Nick). Of course I was pretty happy about it and so he ordered 5 numbered shirt more than he needed for the team.
This means that this 5 shirts are the same shirts that the player wear and they are the only ones of this design which have been sold. So they are kind of unique :)
A couple of weeks later I got a mail that the shirts arrived on the Turks and Caicos Island.
I gave them Nicks address and asked for banking details.
Suddenly they were not responding anymore.
After some weeks I got a mail of him again which said: "Sorry, a hurricane wasted the whole Islands including the FA building. We had to rebuild it. Luckily your shirts survived the collapse of the building. We will send it to you soon."

As you see they did an here it is :)

Andorra




To be honest this shirt is pretty ugly and feels pretty bad, too. It came from Nick who sold it to me for a very reasonable price ;) Thanks for this again, Nick. It is the next UEFA rarity crossed on my list.

Suriname





Suriname vs. Dominica (5:0) | Digicel Cup 2010 in Antigua

Just another Suriname shirt ;) I got this one from Luuc as a swap. I really like this shirt design a lot. Probably one of the most beautiful shirts in my collection. Unfortunately it is sized XXXL. This is of course far to big for me.

Myanmar





Unknown player
Myanmar 2011

This shirt again came from our Thai friend zenther. I bought it off his ebay shop and I really like it, especially because name and number is printed on it. Lwin is the captain of the Myanmar team. As you can see in the above match pictures design fits to the player shirts. It has the design of the SEA Games 2011. The shirt cost me 35,13 € + 9,70 € of postage.
