Crime by Football Shirt - 2025

Post by Spigzy »

After an eventful 2024, I was optimistic the trend could continue into 2025 - but what is this skulduggery by the police website? Those have to be a Cambodian and Man United shirt?!

I might need a new source if this level of imagery continues!

How to unpack this lot?? I thought it had been quiet due to the cool weather, hoodies & shirts are more the thing in January, and then this pops up on KT ...

Initially I thought we had a Dutch invasion going on, but seems these are just standard issue orange kits by the police/jail folks. Also many of the red shirts are worn inside out, or are just standard issue. So for the record I am only adding 'players' here that have a logo that I can identify with a team. It so easily could be an extra 9 Holland, two extra Chelseas in blue, etc. We might already have the tie-breaker pics right off the bat!

I know we had a nice start to 2025 with the bonanza a couple of weeks back; but it really has been slim pickings this month, I think I'm seeing a pattern that our football shirt loving criminals find it a bit cold to commit crimes in shirts designed for hot weather. But I have to ask in all that is holy on this Earth, what kind of attire is this?? Normal 30c+ temperatures and football shirts cannot return soon enough, my daily news dive is straining my eyes!

Hmm, sensing re-use of police standard issue garments here, but adding to the tally all the same - even though this incident was surely not in beautiful unblemished Kampot, shame on the KT trying to tarnish its image.

I can't get a good enough zoom on the purple shirt logo to pick it, anyone familiar with it?

Sorry been busy last few days, but didn't miss much - a quick review the of the week that was only found this little nugget for Munich. The continued cool weather clearly hampering "jow" efforts in Q1 so far.
