The good folks at Life Style Sports have given us a fantastic prize for our readers to spend on all the football jerseys they could ever want, in the form of a €500 gift card.
What we want to see from you is how much you love a good football jersey, so we need you to send us a picture of your personal favourite football jersey that you own, and a message as to why you like it so much.
It could be because you think the design is great, it could be because it reminds you of a great sporting moment, it could be because you bought it on a foreign trip, or it could be because it's your lucky jersey, but get creative and we'll be listing the best entries in a post on our site for all of our readers to see.
The Prize:
A €500 gift card to spend at Life Style Sports stores nationwide. Use it to buy yourself your favorite new jersey - Life Style have 100% of Premier League and 80% of Champions League jerseys - such as some of the beauties we declared our love for here, some new training gear, new boots, or whatever tickles your fancy.
How To Enter:
Step One: Take a photo or video of your favourite football jersey that you own.
Step Two: Tell us either in the video or in text with the picture why the jersey is special to you.
Step Three: Send your entry to us on Instagram (Tag @ballsdotie and use #BallsLifeStyle so we can see it), on WhatsApp (083 366 6677), or via email ([email protected]).
Examples:
To get your creative juices flowing, here are two sample entries from our personal collection of jerseys (don't worry, your jersey doesn't have to be as hipster as ours are):
This is my Japan away jersey from the 2002 World Cup, with Junichi Inamoto's name on the back.
It's special to me because the 2002 World Cup is my favourite ever tournament, and represents a golden age of football in my mind. Also, Junichi Inamoto is an absolute hero and his beaming smile after his goal against Belgium is something I will always associate with Korea/Japan 2002.
This is my Real Betis home jersey from the 03/04 season.
It's special to me because it's absolutely beautiful, and the tight Kappa jerseys from that time are absolute classics, this one being the best of the lot for me, although the Italy home jersey is great too. It's also special to me because Joaquin was an absolute monster on Pro Evolution Soccer 4, and I regularly hammered my mates with Betis in this jersey.
So that's an idea of what we'd like to see.
Remember: It doesn't have to be an obscure jersey, we want to know why it's special to you. Of course, it could be an obscure jersey, but it's the story behind it that we want to hear.
Get involved! Show us your jerseys and you could be sorted for the foreseeable future thanks to Life Style Sports.
Closing Date: Wednesday 21 October.
