+xCan anyone weigh in on why the Socceroos and Matildas use the coat of arms on the national team jerseys and not the FA badge like most of the rest of the world does? I mean some of them are garbage but the FA logo isnt that terrible compared to like US or Canada for example. My pet peeve on Aussie merch is how clearly it stands out from what the team wears on the pitch... Not upset about the coat of arms as a symbol before anyone jumpos down my throat but perhaps, if we used a modified version of it (like England does with FA 3 lions badge) then there wouldnt be an issue with fans also wearing it with pride??? Taken from a few documents (sorry for the bad formatting in some cases, PDF's do that for some reason): Australian representative national sporting teams participating in international competitions may seek the Australian Government’s permission to display the Arms on their uniforms. Requests should be directed to the Honours, Symbols and Territories Branch in writing by an authorised officer of the team and supply: the name of the team, and the location, dates and the name of the competition.Only teams recognised by the Australian Sports Commission may be permitted to use the Arms or where, after consultation with the Commission, the Minister or his or her delegate is satisfied that it is appropriate for a team to receive permission.Permission, where granted, will allow the Arms to be displayed by representative sports persons on their playing and dress uniforms and by accompanying officials on their dress uniforms. Permission will not extend to use on merchandise and sponsors material.Each approval is for one competition only. However, approval may be given for more than one competition where competitions of a like kind occur within a short period of time or sequentially within a given overseas tour.Each request will be dealt with on a case by case basis and requests will usually only be considered within four months of the commencement date of the competition.Should approval be granted, the name and the dates of the competition must be shown immediately under the Arms on the dress and playing uniforms. No advertising material or sponsorship is to be positioned near the Arms and no words or images are to be positioned above the Arms. Since 1922 permission has also been granted to sporting teams representing Australia in international competition to display the Arms on their official uniforms. Permission to reproduce the Coat of Arms may be granted on a case by case basis to non-Commonwealth bodies, for example to sporting team srepresenting Australia in international competition and for use in certain educational publications. In the case of sporting bodies who have been authorised users, they have relied on the symbol with its uniquely Australian animals, to make a declaration of national identity to the international community. Interestingly, a government enquiry in 1994 on the use of the coat of arms recommended the playing jerseys to not have the coat of arms, but for off field gear to include instead (which FA does the opposite) 11. Various sporting bodies support the continued access to the use of the Coat of Arms on the official uniforms worn by Australian national representative sportspersons. The Committee considers that the Coat of Arms should be available for use on the non-playing uniforms of national representative sportspersons, but not on clothes worn playing sport.
The only other countries I can think of that do anything like us, are South Africa (although they include both), and Spain. Also, to be fair, the version of the shirts on sale do have a modified version of the coat of arms, as it's illegal to reproduce the full coat of arms without Australian Gov. permission (permission is only granted for actual sporting uniforms), so the FA replaces the shield with the FA logo. Most sports have something similar. Cricket Australia replaces the shield with their logo as well, and Rugby Union has a rugby ball placed over the shield. In the past we did the same thing, just smacked a football over the shield on the shirts for sale (was like this from 2004 to whenever the new FA logo was brought in if I recall correctly)

All I can think of is that it's just become a national symbol across all sports, and just a societal norm. I can't think of any of our national teams using a different logo (maybe variations of it, like Cricket, which still as far as I know features the older coat of arms with the four states and the blue cross in the middle).  You know what, I'm not even sure that is supposed to represent the 4 states. Almost seems like it's just NSW. Italy I guess was much the same for a lot of history (I know the logo with the blue circle and the flag was used through the 90s) but eventually the FIGC (Italy's FA) just made their logo a scudetto so it can be used as a logo but still keeping to the societal norm of Italy.

It's actually illegal to use the coat of arms on replica shirts. I like the coat of arms on the NT shorts and the fact you can't get them unless you actually play for the country. Not sure though why we use the coat of arms. Interestingly - Adidas (at least from 1997-2001) used to sell the replicas with the Soccer Australia logo (that triangle thing), but for the 2002-2003 and the planned 2004 jerseys (they made them before Soccer Australia reformed into FFA) were sold with the coat of arms, but saying "SOCCER AUSTRALIA" instead of just "AUSTRALIA". Not sure if that was a valid loophole though. I do have one of those jerseys for reference (the 2004 one). Mono might like it actually - it's the Greece Euro 2004 shirt, but in yellow and green.

I think I have the old Soccer Australia logo on a jersey somewhere at home... as for the Euro 2004 shirt, I have the Greek one obv, still in the Adidas packet, saving it for the first, future, grandson..... lol

On that, I might do some research on why Spain and Seth Efrica continue to use coat of arms - might just be the same as here.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xCan anyone weigh in on why the Socceroos and Matildas use the coat of arms on the national team jerseys and not the FA badge like most of the rest of the world does? I mean some of them are garbage but the FA logo isnt that terrible compared to like US or Canada for example. My pet peeve on Aussie merch is how clearly it stands out from what the team wears on the pitch... Not upset about the coat of arms as a symbol before anyone jumpos down my throat but perhaps, if we used a modified version of it (like England does with FA 3 lions badge) then there wouldnt be an issue with fans also wearing it with pride??? It's actually illegal to use the coat of arms on replica shirts. I like the coat of arms on the NT shorts and the fact you can't get them unless you actually play for the country. Not sure though why we use the coat of arms. Interestingly - Adidas (at least from 1997-2001) used to sell the replicas with the Soccer Australia logo (that triangle thing), but for the 2002-2003 and the planned 2004 jerseys (they made them before Soccer Australia reformed into FFA) were sold with the coat of arms, but saying "SOCCER AUSTRALIA" instead of just "AUSTRALIA". Not sure if that was a valid loophole though. I do have one of those jerseys for reference (the 2004 one). Mono might like it actually - it's the Greece Euro 2004 shirt, but in yellow and green. I think I have the old Soccer Australia logo on a jersey somewhere at home... as for the Euro 2004 shirt, I have the Greek one obv, still in the Adidas packet, saving it for the first, future, grandson..... lol I just picked up a 2001 jersey (with the Soccer Australia logo) a few months back. Need to find somewhere to get Viduka's name put on it haha. I've been buying older shirts and getting names put on them recently. Have picked up The 2004 Adidas concept as mentioned earlier (Kewell) 2005 Away (Bresciano) 2010 Home (Grella) EDIT: You don't have one for your self?! Hahahah Ive got plenty of shirts but the 2004 is going to be an heirloom for future generations to look on with awe at the one and only time Greece ever won anything. hahahahahaha sort of like an England 66 shirt. hahahahahah hahaha yeah fair enough I'd have bought bulk of them! Good luck finding a "spare" Greek Euro top in Melbourne in 2004 mate .... rarer than rocking horse poo... lol they sold out in hours. I am not adverse to buying fakes, but if you need some extra...? https://www.u8retro.com/product-page/greece-2004-retro-1Pity it's not the white one though I miss the Greece Adidas shirts to be honest... But same goes for Italy and Kappa Hahahaha Im in China for a business trip next week and planning on "stocking up" on a few things :P.... Kids, nephews and friends have already palced their orders... hahahah I prefer the Puma kits for Italia btw..... :)

Except the last Euro shirt, that was magnificent, I have 2 hahaha.

Hope Nike do a better job than England kit, where they replaced national flag with a trans flag on the shirt
Europe is funding the war not Chelsea football club

+x+xGermany from Adidas to Nike 2027 Wow!!!!!! Thats almost considered treason in Germany yeah? A massive fallout has ensued and the timing of it being pre home tournament makes it an unwelcome distraction. Politicians whose policies have eradicated domestic business strength and opportunity are now calling for domestic business patriotism. Ludicrous.

It's pretty crazy seeing the types of Australian shirts on German ebay. Good condition 2006 was only 30€. Doesn't resonate with people here as much. Lots of kits bought by people during that summer to pick a second team.

Lots of kits bought by people during that summer to pick a second team. Yep, unless I'm buying fakies, a lot of the time I'm looking for second hand shirts online. Good condition 2001 jersey I mentioned earlier from England for... $80, I think it was? And also found someone selling 2010 home jerseys for $40 each. Then found a guy in Malaysia who replicates shirt name/numbers for like $10 a shirt, sends them over, then I can get a local guy to put them on for $5 a shirt. +x+x+xGermany from Adidas to Nike 2027 Wow!!!!!!

Yeah, I saw a story online this morning about a German politician who was calling this out, and then photographed wearing Nike everything as some big expose hahaha

For what it's worth, Japan and Algeria's new kits aren't being released until June - so maybe that's what Nike is doing with a few of the non European teams. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2024/03/algeria-and-japan-2024-kits.htmlAlthough... no Greece update, which is weird. But, I do know that: a) They changed theirs last season and, b) Apparently they are now being based off 'Teamwear' (basically just bulk buying a template and applying the Greece logos to the jerseys)

The coat of arms is way better than that dog turd of an FA logo are you seriously having a whine about that? "I'm not racist but"
