It may be related to the material they used. I read a letter on the FT where a Taiwanese guy (the speaker of such and such Taiwanese manufacturer organisation) was claiming they had done most of the jerseys using recycled plastic bottles. -- ale http://ale.riolo.co.uk

The curious thing was that they didn't all have it. Boateng and Scweinsteiger did, Ozil and Mueller did not. What's the deal with that?

I've noticed it the most on the French jerseys, and thus why I posted a separate article with a link to a FIFA picture from a French player where it is really visible. The fact that not all players have it could imply it's an add on, but the strip is too perfect and nice that it has to be part of the shirt itself. We're all puzzled here at the office. -- HASM |
