Have you heard of Bari? It’s not a name that springs to mind when you think of Italian football. Bari are a yo-yo team, but currently lie in the Italian Serie A. They have had many notable former players, including David Platt, Bari-born Antonio Cassano and Gianluca Zambrotta. To celebrate their promotion to the top tier of Italian football they have released a stylish new shirt for the 09/10 season.

Style
Bari’s home shirt is it’s traditional white and features red piping. These red highlights are very eye-catching especially when considering the style of the red lines; one of which goes across the shirt and one of which goes down. The raised collar is also red, as is the manufacturer logo and team badge. There are thinner lines protruding from the thick red lines, they are curved and make the shirt look much more unique and very stylish. The team badge is that of a cockerel, the animal which the team takes their nickname from. It also lacks a sponsor which in my opinion makes the shirt look more like an international shirt.

Errea
The Bari home shirt is made by the Italian company Errea. I find it a wise choice to choose shirts made by companies like Errea as they are less likely to use typical shirt templates and so you will find that each club will have a unique shirt.

Value for money
This is an excellent quality shirt and has a very unique style about it. If you are a fan of Italian football but don’t want to buy the old clichés of the typical Italian giants, this shirt is for you. The Bari shirt is very unique but this unique style is very nice, and so I would recommend this shirt to anyone who is a fan of football.
