New Season Colourways for the Sirio



Iconic Italian brand Pantofola d'Oro have revealed three new autumn updates to their Sirio football boots. The Sirio is one of Pantofola d'Oro's best looking boots and these three new colourways are only going to add to that status. Like all of their models they're handmade in Italy and ooze style and class. 
The striped Sirio was originally released in various two colour combo's but following the popularity of the white/Green/Red Italian flag boots the brand has continued to experiment and has now added in a fourth colour, albeit in the form of a black stripe. The result is the two stylish i Blucerachiati editions, inspired by Sampdoria's home and away kits. 







Topping off the Sirio's new season makeover is the attention grabbing Rosanerocolourway. Pantofola d'Oro may have stuck to just a two colour combo for this one but that doesn't stop it being one of their most outrageous boots to date. Although not their first foray into pink boots (the Ascoli model has a colourway with subtle pink touches) this is definitely one of the boldest designs we've seen from them. 



Whether these creative new colourways signal things to come for Pantofola D'oro remains to be seen but one thing you can always be sure of is the quality of the build and the passion that goes into making them. Earlier this summer we were invited to Ascoli, Piceno, where the doors to their famous boot factory opened exclusively to SoccerBible and we got a first hand look at that Italian craftsmanship. 







Pantofola D'oro boots have a cult following in the boot world which is growing season by season. A choice for someone who likes the finer things in life, their boots are some of the best looking available, but what else would you expect from a brand who's products are handmade in the style capital of the world.

Top 2013/14 Premier League Kit Share



The 2013/14 Premier League season kicks off this weekend and after a busy summer of shirt reveals clubs in England's top flight will be kitted up in their new clobber when the first whistle is blown on Saturday. With numerous clubs having swapped kit manufacturers here's a bit of a re-cap to see who's wearing what...
Out of all 20 Premier League clubs 9 of them will be wearing adidas' famous three stripes. After signing up Southampton, Fulham and West Ham to join Chelsea, West Brom, Sunderland, Hull, Swansea and Stoke adidas now boast 45% of Premier League clubs. It may be quantity over quality but it's still a pretty dominant share of the market.


Manchester is all about Nike this season, after City's switch from Umbro they join the red half of Manchester in donning the swoosh and increase the chances of a Nike team winning the title. Two top designs from Nike for two of the Premier League favourites as they go head to head for more silverware.



Completing Nike's quartet of Premier League clubs are Arsenal and Everton. Rumoured to be Arsenal's last season with the swoosh, the Gunners must receive enormous credit for retaining their away shirt from last season and saving fans a few quid, which they'll need by looking at Arsenal's season ticket prices.

Everton are into their second season as a Nike club, their new home shirt has received an extra hoop on the sleeves and a re-designed white collar. It'll take one hell of a season for all four Nike clubs to grab a Champions League spot but Everton will be confident of being there or thereabouts come May.



The clubs flying the flag for PUMA this season are Newcastle and Premier League new boys Cardiff. The Welsh club has controversially changed their home colours from blue to red in a bid to be 'more attractive to investors' or something, and it hasn't gone down too well in the Welsh capital. Not the most creative of kits from PUMA but Cardiff have had bigger issues to deal with so it's probably a safe bet.

Newcastle were the last Premier League club to reveal their 2013/14 home kit after a overcoming the Wonga/Cisse battle and to be fair it was worth waiting for, whether you're firmly anti-Wonga or not it's still a top looking kit and we're embracing the touches of blue.


Two huge American brands have claimed a top Premier League club each for the second year running. Warrior's Liverpool and Under Armour's Spurs will both have their eyes set on a Champions League slot this season and we're sticking our neck on the line by saying they're two of the best kits in the league. Maybe it's because they're just different, away from the standard templates of other brands, whatever it is we're liking it. 



Norwich, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are the remaining three clubs that won't be wearing mainstream brands. The kits might not be as fashionable as others but they do give clubs a unique identity. Palace will begin life in the Prem wearing Avec, Villa continue with Macron and Norwich will be donning Errea shirts. 

Everton Reveal 2013/14 Nike Third Shirt



Three weeks into the football season and the kit launches are still coming with Everton revealing their new Nike third shirt. A safe alternative strip for The Toffee's to wear on their league and cup travels throughout 2013/14.
Nike have used the same template as Everton's 13/14 away shirt but swapped the yellow base for white and used a darker shade of blue on the chest and shoulders. Perhaps they've realised that their away kit is little bit too blue to play against teams wearing the same colour, although they're still reluctant to move completely away from the colour.



The shorts are navy and the socks are predominately white with a navy trim. The controversial new Everton badge features on the shirt with some Toffee's still struggling to accept the change. Martinez's men have kicked off the season steadily with three draws from three games, unbeaten or winless depending on whether you're a blue or a red.


Evertonian's got their first glimpse of the new third shirt when Martinez presented the signing of former (please) England midfielder Gareth Barry on transfer deadline day from Man City. They may have lost Fellaini but keeping hold of Baines and adding Chelsea's Lukaku results in a tidy squad to begin their new era at Goodison Park.
