Adidas Russia World Cup home shirt 2010
Russia have really come to prominence as a major force in European football over the last few years under the watchful eye of coach Guus Hiddink who took them to the semi-finals of the 2008 European Championship and now has them on the edge of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. The new Russia home shirt that they will wear at the tournament should they get through their play off game has been released with Adidas being the shirt manufacturers this year.
Russia finished second in their qualifying group for the World Cup 4 points behind Germany, who never lost a game throughout qualification. For Russia to reach the finals in South Africa they have to beat Slovenia over two legs in a playoff.
The new Russia shirt, as mentioned above, is manufactured by Adidas with the shirt being a dark red colour this year with gold stripes horizontally across the shirt and a pattern between the top two stripes. The Adidas stripes are on the sleeves and shoulders in gold with the logo also in gold below the collar of the shirt.
The Russia soccer jerseys became one of the biggest selling shirts after the 2008 Euro Championship partly because of the success that the team experienced, but also because of the number of top name players that came to prominence in the tournament and got moves to bigger clubs . Andrei Arshavin is the best example with his performance in Euro 2008 earning his a transfer to Arsenal. The Russia World Cup shirt is available with the official shirt printing of your favourite Russian players including Roman Pavkyuchebko, Andrei Arshavin, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Yuri Zhirkov and Aleksandr Kerzhakov.
If Russia reach the World Cup then big things are expected of them due to their good showing at Euro 2008 and their is no doubt that the Russian football shirts will again be one of the biggest selling during the tournament.
