Soccer Shirts

I cannot call myself a "fútbol" afficionado, but I do like soccer tee shirts.  I have shirts of all the professional teams in Mexico City, a couple from teams beyond the capital, and even some shirts from teams in Spain.  When I wear one of them, it is not unusual for someone to ask me if I am a fan of that team.  I will admit that I don't know much about soccer.  I just like the shirts.  Alejandro has warned me on a few occasions when there was going to be an important match, not to wear a shirt of one of the competitors.

Now that some of the World Cup games are going to be held in Mexico, I have several tee shirts for Mexico's national team.







They all have the emblem of the national team.




On the back, just below the neckline, all of them say "Somos México". (We are Mexico.)



A couple of the shirts have tags saying that they are an "authentic licensed product".


However, I really doubt that.  I bought them for a reasonable price at the "tianguis" (outdoor market) or at a sidewalk stand.  Authentic soccer shirts cost 100 U.S. dollars or more.

Authentic or not, I will be wearing them during the World Cup, and I will probably take them with me when I travel to England and Switzerland.
