Tecatito has been my favorite player ever since he debuted for Monterrey. Naturally, I turned into a big FC Porto fan when he transferred there in 2015. This shirt is my second one of the Dragões, but my first with Tecatito's name, so it’s pretty special to me.
This shirt is special because it is the first shirt I own of my new city, Seattle. I fell in love with this fantastic design when I saw the leaked pictures and knew I had to get it the second it came out. It is also my first ever authentic shirt.
Just a lovely kit. One of my favorite shirts of my favorite team in the world. This kit is a tribute to the founding year (1945) of CF Monterrey. It's an elegant and minimalistic design that incorporates the original team crest, and anything in white and blue is beautiful.
I've always wanted this shirt since I first saw it in 2003. One of the last golden times of the club that also had a great run of kits. Who can forget Pablo Aimar doing his thing in those Toyota kits? Last year I finally found one in perfect condition and didn’t hesitate to buy it.
Nike crushed it with the Total 90. It's hard for me to think of a better template design in the last 20 years. Deco, Portugal, Total 90, Euro 2004, what's not to love?
