Last Saturday I finally got around to taking some more photos. Today I’ve started putting them up to the site.

As a first course please gorge yourself the upon the wonder of some Belize shirts

Unfortunately I have to run out so more updates will have to wait.

Its only one nation, but man. its a rare one. Except among my friends where its fairly common. Like Hen’s teeth or rocking horse dung.

I hope you enjoyed my hodge podge of pop culture references in the title. You get extra nerd points if you can identify the origins of both. Note: Nerd points have no monetary value. They may however be redeemable in World of Warcraft or something I’m not sure.

I know you’ve all come here to took at pictures of football shirts, and more are coming I swear.

Actually, judging by the number of visitors I get from the U.S.A, I think most of you actually land here while blindly groping around the Intertubes looking for things related to the N.F.L.

Regardless of your motivations which I will continue to assume are pure, I’ve decided to include something off topic here today.

While this is a site dedicated to the shirts of National, round kicky-ball, Football Teams, I do love sport at the national level in general. Matches at the national level will coax me to watch sports I would not often watch. This is mostly due to the dedication of the athletes involved. In many countries around the world, national team athletes train and compete on a voluntary basis. They often aren’t paid much, if at all, for their training and are usually driven solely by a combination of patriotic love and a love of their sport. I believe these are sentiments that should be fully supported.

It is in this spirit that I have offered to lend what meager support my site can offer to a national sports organization of a different kind.

Allow me to introduce the Belize Basketball Federation.

The other day I was contacted by a Mr. Brads Neal Vice President of the Belize Basketball Federation. After a few e-mails I was sent some photos of some very smart looking jerseys that are available from the Belize Basketball Federation. Below you can see the photos of these great shirts.

These are some great looking shirts.

If you, or anyone you know, is a basketball fan, have a look at the webpage of the Belize Basketball Federation. And if anyone you know is a collector of basketball paraphernalia these might be just the thing. I know how rare Belize football shirts are, I bet Belize Basketball swag is just as rare in the Basketball shirt collecting world which I bet is almost as vibrant of a community as the footy shirt collecting community.

Please be sure to visit the Belize Basketball Federation and lend them some support in whatever way you can. You can contact Mr. Neals via their website and he’d be happy to help hook you up with some basketball shirts.

In the last few days I’ve noticed I’ve had some visitors from some new countries. To anyone new to the site I wanted to say welcome!

If you are from a nation whose shirt still is listed under “Wanted Gallery” please contact me here at the page if you can help me get a shirt. Even if you can’t help with a shirt just say hello. I seldom bite. And even when I do its on request and you have to be an attractive cheerleader type. And somehow, just because of general poor luck in life, I doubt many of my readers are attractive cheerleader types.

If you are from a country in the “Wanted Gallery” I’ll even accept e-mails yelling at me for not having enough pictures up.

On the pictures note, next week I plan on moving all my shirts to my photography location and doing a crazy blitz on the photos so stay tuned for that.

That will make an odd week for me. With no footy shirts to wear I fear my body will go into some sort of shock when my skin feels something other than Polyester against it.

I think this shirt has crossed more seas than Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the Calypso. But its here now in the collection for us all to enjoy via the wonder that is the Intertubes!
All Hail Al Gore for inventing it!

No. That’s silly. I shouldn’t propagate wild internet rumours. But let that be a lesson to everyone. See what happens when you hang around with people who don’t inhale? You get a secondary high and delusions of grandeur. Besides I think Kim Jong-Il really invented the internet while taking a break from inventing the Hamburger and buying $650,000 worth of Hennessy.

Enjoy New Caledonia’s shirt on New Caledonia’s Page. Not a shirt that will turn many heads based on its looks, but its from a country that I’d bet 98% of the world couldn’t find on a map. In my book that makes it a top flight shirt!

A few more far away and exotic lands! Well, unless you live there. Then, maybe not so far away, and perhaps not as exotic, though probably just as cool to you!

Georgia’s Page

No, not the U.S state. Sorry, no Bulldogs shirts here.

Luxembourg’s Page

Yes, that’s a real place. Look very closely at your maps. It is quite small and you probably just missed it. Personally, I’m fascinated by the wee nations of Europe.

On that note:

San Marino’s Page

See a great shirt and find a link to a place where you too can help Tuvalu. It is Christmastime after all. Go help. Do it! Now!

Thank you.

I have put my Canada shirts up. Go and gorge thyself on their Maple syrupy and proper bacony goodness!

Canada’s Page

After having consulted my handy-dandy football shirt tracking spread sheet, I have noticed that I have 163 Unique National Team shirts.

This makes me realize that doing photos that are way above my pay grade wasn’t the best of ideas. But I paid $200 for all photo crap so I’m going to keep doing it.

Cambodia arrived today. And I plan on putting my Canada shirts up this week.

Stay tuned folks!
