Collecting national team shirts from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
The new Adidas shirt was first used in a World Cup qualifier against Tahiti on 06/06/01, and then later in friendlies with USA (08/06/03), Poland (16/10/02) and a Dunfermline Athletic (30/06/02) side who were touring New Zealand.
Since qualifying for the World Cup in 2002, Trinidad & Tobago have been supplied by Adidas. Last Summer Joma agreed to a 5 year sponsorship deal to supply the national team, and the league. These official shirts come directly from Trinidad & Tobago and are now available in the Football Shirt World online store.

A fantastic national shirt collection from across the pond. Eric has shunned Canada’s national sports of Ice Hockey, Curling and Seal Clubbing in order to accumulate one of the largest collections of national team shirts out there. Eric’s ability to track done shirts from the many Caribbeans islands has contributed significantly to my personal collection, and to the stock of the Football Shirt World online shop.
Sascha’s collection of national shirts is one of the most unique out there, with many players shirts and non-FIFA nations among the collection. His patience, determination, and effective use of Google Translate has rewarded him with shirts from Madagascar, Yemen and Djibouti. Sascha’s own interest in non-FIFA football has lead to be elected general secretary for the newly formed Confederation of Independent Nations Football Association.
Belgian collector Gregorio has another fantastic collection, with a particular emphasis on Italy. Gregorio has all the shirts from Europe and South America, with only Macau and Syria required to complete the Asian section.
Joe’s collection from deepest darkest Scotland is another that has been around for a number of years Joe only has 24 shirts to go to complete the set. His legendary blog posts are both informative and highly amusing, I thoroughly recommend reading them all.
I have only recently encountered Cyril’s impressive national shirt collection. Not satisfied with the nigh-on impossible challenge of collecting national shirts from the 209 FIFA nations, he is only collecting match worn shirts, thus making ‘easy to get’ countries like England, Spain and Brazil extremely difficult to find. Fair play.
Simone is a collector from Italy. The majority of shirts in his collection come directly from players making his collection unique. I thoroughy recommend a look through.
