Toni Kroos slams Real Madrid kit
Even today, Real Madrid continues to be one of the best teams. Many players have had the privilege of wearing and representing the legendary shirt on the soccer pitch. However, one of their players has come out with some strong words for the shirt he represents. In a recent podcast, German superstar Toni Kroos criticized the club?s jersey that he is wearing this season.
“We have a collar [on the shirt] again this season. A polo is not a football shirt. To all the designers: this is a big sh*t! Kits with a collar are not good, they are uncomfortable and ugly.”

While designing a club?s jersey, sports companies often try to incorporate their own flair to make the shirt even better. However, this time it may have disappointed some players and fans, including, Kroos himself.
Apparently, the midfielder isn?t impressed by the famous kit makers, Adidas, who have created this season?s jersey in an odd fashion. The famous sports brand has been a loyal sponsor of the club for more than a decade.
The German brand signed a sponsorship deal back in 1998, and since then they have been tailoring excellent jerseys. Besides catering to the La Liga giants, the famous brand is a sponsor of several clubs, including Toni?s previous side, Bayern Munich.
Fans take a jab at their star player
While Kross is becoming a jersey critic out here, some fans aren?t impressed by his analytical comments on the shirt. Furthermore, netizens around the world have blasted their No. 8.
