USSR Football Jersey

[JohnL]

I found this a while ago, To celebrate Russia 2018 Adidas have this USSR jersey for sale but due to many many complaints about the nature of the USSR the jersey can't be found on the Adidas site.

Still seems to be on sale though

Is it offensive to offer that sort of stuff ?

[Mick Mac]

No.

[Alan Medic]

Yes.

[flocker spotter]

As offensive as an England jersey

I reckon if I brought it and wore it it wouldn't go down well at all. I love that German one with the stripes (best international shirt ever) but ...

I'll stick with a Welsh version during the World Cup :)

Confused - surely this is the Soviet kit, or something similar.

so ironic that we have a special expensive trainer for the old Central Lenin Stadium

So that has to be the 1980 Olympics (which the USA boycotted)
