World Soccer Shirts

I'm somewhat of an avid soccer fan. I play soccer at least once a week, and follow MSL and the Barclay's Premier League closely. I enjoy getting up early on weekends to catch live matches, especially when West Ham or Birmingham are playing. So lately I've been thinking that I should start designing some soccer-themed shirts. I've been looking for inspiration and trying to come up with soccer designs that fit my tastes as well as the overall asthetic of the store.

One design that I'm quite pleased with is a series of world soccer shirts, featuring a grungy freakshow font and the national flags of various soccer (football) nations in the background. The national flags have been given a distressed or deconstructed treatment to make them a bit gritty. Once I came up with the first design, the US Soccer Shirt, I was able to use that as a template for the rest of the soccer shirts. I've still got more to do, but so far have shirts posted representing many of the prominent soccer countries around the world.
