Football Attic's League of Blogs 2013

The Football Attic is one of my favourite blogs to read; they have loads of articles about subbuteo as well as other retro football stuff.

For the past 2 years the guys at Football Attic have run a design your own kit competition called The League of Blogs.  This year I thought I would enter; have a look here to see this years entries.  Despite not winning, the guys at Football Attic contacted me asking if I could paint up their home and away kit and the kit for the overall winner.  I jumped at the chance!

Here's how the kits look on the little plastic men

The winning entry from Live For Football Shirts

Football Attic's Home & Away kits

Congratulations to Live For Football Shirts for winning the best kit; it reminds me of a cross between Chelsea and a Portugal away shirt.  My favourite entry (excluding my own!) has to be Hungry Ted; check out that kit design and beard combo!

QPR 2012/13 Home kit

It's not been a great season for this team so far; maybe the magic of 'Arry Redknapp can turn their season around?

Another team that I've painted up for a fellow WRP7 player is this seasons QPR kit.

Here's how it turned out

Bases and figures are Superfooty

Stoke away 2012/13

I've been asked to paint this up for a fellow WRP7 team member; he's asked for the socks to be from the home kit rather than the away.

I think it looks a bit like an old Barcelona kit!

Enjoy the pics

The figures are 2K4, bases original subbuteo LW.

West Ham 2012/13 Home Kit

2K4 figures, Raptor bases

Bristol City 2012/13 home kit

Arsenal 2012/13 Home Kit

A friend who I regularly play subbuteo with is a massive Arsenal fan.  With me being a Spurs fan, some of the games we have can get quite heated!

Here's Arsenal's home kit for the 2012/13 season.

I have a very strong urge to "accidently" break these!

The figures are 2K4, the bases are Raptors

Worcester City 2011/12

I've received a request to paint Worcester City's current home kit.  Here's how its turned out

The Puffins 2012/12

Here's my new kit for next season.

Bristol City Away 1992

This may not be a very popular choice, but for me this is a memorable kit.  Growing up all my mates supported one of the Bristol teams, either City or Rovers. As I lived closer to the red side of the cty, I supported City out of the 2 teams. 

I particularly remember my best mate of the time, "hairy" (that was his nickname, although I can't remember why he was called that as he wasn't particularly hairy!), had this kit and always used to wear it when we went football training.  I love the way the purple and green clash, making this kit really garish to look at.  It's probably why I liked it so much as a kid!
