I finally got this shirt! I've wanted a Romania (My national team, no, not England) shirt for ages but not just any Romania shirt, it had to be this one from Euro 2008. This is often the shirt you'll see if you search for pictures of Romania's national team, not sure why but you've probably seen it quite a bit for that reason. The shirt is made by Adidas and I think this was a fairly standard template from that year but I don't really remember any others with the same design. It's also the yellowy orange colour which I think is probably my favourite colour for football shirts. The Romania badge is the coolest badge in world football in my opinion which makes this shirt that much better.
Red Star Belgrade are the most successful team in Serbian football history with 25 titles and 24 national cups but their fierce rivals Partizan Belgrade have been more successful in the current format the Serbian SuperLiga. Many people don't know why Red Star Belgrade have 2 gold stars on their badge, I didn't know until I began this post. Each star actually stands for 10 Serbian league titles and in 2000 when they won their 20th title, another star was added to the badge. Red Star have an alright record in Europe considering they're not a side with the worlds best like Ronaldo and Messi (and Chiriches) They won the European cup in 1991 and later that year, beat Colo-Colo of Chile to win the now abolished Intercontinental Cup.
I never thought I'd be able to get hold of one of these shirts, they're so expensive on eBay and in the few stores they are sold in (really not many) But Unisport saved the day again. The neck hole is tiny, the shirt fits but Serbians must just have small heads or something. Igraji Bori se means ''Welcome To Hellgrade'' in Serbian which is probably the coolest slogan I've ever come across. |
