Earlier in March Nike has freed the new 2010 socceroos away and earlier this week, they have freed the home version to the public.

The Design

Compared to the 2009 home version, which was almost wholly gold, the 2010 home jersey features a little bit more colors. The sleeves and shoulders are green, and the chest display a white chevron strip providing an interesting contrast with the gold and the emblem and manufacturer logo.

The rib crew neck is also green and a yellow strip is added on the sleeves. This strip is one of this year Nike’s trademark as we may find similar one on the Brazil, New Zealand and Portugal Jersey.

The 2010 away jersey uses the same design, but features a dissimilar color mix, which include gold, electric blue and navy blue

The Technology

In 2010, Nike has taken a new approach in the design and production of their jerseys. The polyester fibers employed to build the fabric are made of 100% recycled material. Each jersey is actually made of 8 recycled plastic bottles to minimise the environmental impact.

In terms of performance, the 2010 jersey is at the pinnacle. Based on Nike DriFit fabric, which wicks sweat away and offer greatest or most complete or best possible comfort, the 2010 version of the jersey stretchings 10% more than the former one and offer greatest or most complete or best possible fit to the athletes body.

According to Nike, the laser perforated mesh on the side and on the back drop offer 7% more cooling capablenesses while being 13% lighter than before.

The new socceroos jersey is one of the new national team jerseys. Brazil, Portugal, Holland, Serbia and other team have their own, which are worth checking out too.
