I've been a bit busy with exams so I haven't posted anything in the last few weeks. During this time I've bought a China shirt to Brad, who has been selling part of his collection through eBay.
But I return with this incredible Zanzibar shirt, the coolest one I have in the collection. Not the most beautiful, but the coolest shirt. When I wore it for the first time, my teammates asked me where did I buy that drag queen costume. A shirt from Zanzibar, full of leopard print, made by Hummel and which costs a few pounds on Lovell Soccer. What else can you ask for?

I found this delicious Danish receipt in the Hummel label.

Typical Hummel 'arrows'.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this Gibraltar shirt (and the Zanzibar one I ordered), as it's the first non-FIFA shirt in my collection (you can still find it in lovellsoccer.co.uk and in their eBay shop)The shirt reminds me of a rugby shirt, but it's quite average. Apart from that, I really appreciate Hummel's commitment with minor national teams, such as Gibraltar, Zanzibar, Afghanistan or the previous Tibet shirt. This is my first Hummel shirt but I hope it's not the last one.

The collection is in a good moment, as I've had a small profit to spend on shirts and that stuff. As I said in Twitter, I will buy the shirt of the ACN Champions and, if I still have enough money, I'll purchase something more special, like a retro shirt or something like that.

Now I have two limited edition boxes!

This time, the box really contains a Cameroon shirt.

Finally, it has arrived. And the delay was worth it: it was cheap, it's a limited edition, and it fits me perfectly.
This time, the box roars instead of trumpeting (it's a bit annoying anyway). And I think that, by the moment, it's the most beautiful shirt I have in the collection.
Zanzibar and Gibraltar shirts are coming. They were real bargains. Find them on lovellsoccer.co.uk

I've been thinking and I'm going to start focusing my collection on a goal. It think my (first) goal will be related to Asian club shirts, but I'm opened to suggestions :)
