Where On Earth is a Palestine Football Jersey?
OK this isn’t funny anymore. In the throes of my Palestinian football fervor, I spent nearly 4 hours online yesterday trying to simply locate and purchase a Palestine National Team football jersey. Brimming with respect for the accomplishments of the Palestinian National side against Jordan in Ramallah on Sunday, I felt it my duty to proudly sport the kit around London (at least before it gets too cold) - while trying to politically dilute the annoying club football jerseys you see at every turn.
The result - absolutely NOTHING. Apparently had I desired the national team jersey of Namibia or Kazakhstan or perhaps that casino-rich little island nation of Macau (pop. 400K) I’d be in business.
Behold the Palestinian Away Jersey 2007/2008. Needle in the haystack. Hen's teeth. Gold dust. Enjoy as this is probably as close as you're going to get...
So as a mild departure from serious issues facing Palestine this week, I am appealing to sportswear manufacturers worldwide to end this blockade of Palestinian jerseys. Let your silkscreens run without prejudice! Free your polyester from the vestiges of imperialism!
Heck, I’d even take a replica t-shirt or some socks at this point…

I really want one now, tell me if you ever find it.
I have never seen one for sale here, in Ramallah.
Ive been trying to get one for years!
In a Palestine Asian Cup qualifier I went to,I saw this guy with an awesome Palestino jersey(Palestinian club in Chile).I asked him where he got it and he said he got it from the internet.Ive been looking ever since,hopefully with the surge in international attention,Diadora will release jersey replicas to the mass market
If you check out our website http://www.gphrc.org you can buy a Palestinian football strip with ONE HUNDRED PER CENT OF ALL PROCEEDS GOING BACK TO THE REFUGEE CAMPS.
The Strips were bought in Ramallah, Palestine.
As for the strip shown above I have never seen them in Palestine before. I checked with my dear friend in Ramallah about the strip that was worn in Jordan and he has told me that it is not the official Strip they wore but the one in our website is.

I have a jersey that my uncle sent to me from falasteen. I’m not sure where he got it from, but it the older diadora jersey from 2006-2007, I believe. I know that when I visited this past summer, there was a store in al-Khalil that was planning on selling jerseys, unfortunately a week after I was supposed to leave.
Here’s a link to buy the 08-09 Palestine Home Shirt (official):

Has anyone managed to find out where to buy the black shirt from yet? I’m on the brink of giving up…!!
Hi:
That black T-shirt is from a chilean company called ‘Training’. That company made that t-shirt model of the subsidesports.com website too. But thats not the current t-shirt model. I think it was about 2002, when the palestinian national team went to Chile to play some friendly matches, including one match against Palestino, a chilean first division team who represent the palestinian community in Chile. In fact, if you go to Training factory now, they dont have stock of that t-shirt.
Also that model of black t-shirt is very similar to another model of the 3rd t-shirt 2008 of Palestino (http://www.mercadolibre.cl/jm/img?s=MLC&f=10646347_1787.jpg&v=O). I think the idea was taken from ‘Training’, but, I repeat, thats not the current official t-shirt.
Seeing this video about the Palestine-Jordan football match of 2008, i can see the new t-shirt is from Diadora: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v43hYLQ9uJ4
Anyway, also I want to buy the Diadora t-shirt, but I dont know where I can get it.
i bought the home strip from supsidesports.com
