being in the middle of fucking summer...

Should I get a jacket?

Not a big jacket, but a track jacket. Like a puma or adidas jacket. A really nice one.

No I am not emo. I do not want this jacket cause it is popular with emo kids. I want one because I am a footballer! And this is popular with football kids :P.

They are not that expensive, nor are they that heavy.

I've found this great site run by a group of Argentine guys who cater to folks with just my discriminating tastes. Retro League will hook you up with a retro jersey from every country that's any country in football. This includes to my chagrin Greece, who surprised the world by winning Euro 2004 but have unsurprisingly not done anything of note since. They were kind of like the Danes of the mid-2000s (though their road to the finals was much less chaotic than the Danes, for a brief synopsis of that drama click here).

I like the England, Spain, and Sweden jackets. I also like the Deutschland ones, the Beckenbauer is particularly choice.

At 40.00 bucks a pop they should last, and the guys' feedback on ebay is all good.
