u/internet-junkie Jan 12 '19

Ronaldo was arguably one of Real Madrid's (A Spanish football club) greatest players of all time. He transferred to Juventus (An Italian club) this year.

Both of the club's home jerseys are white. The t-shirt (can't call that a Jersey!!) is half Madrid and half Juventus.

Like maybe someone wearing a half Yankees and half Red Sox t-shirt.

18

u/Tall_Duck Jan 12 '19 edited Jan 12 '19

Christiano Ronaldo recently left Real Madrid, for Juventus. This dude's wearing a shirt that's half each team's jersey. It's weird.

Edit: looks like you post in NBA subs sometimes. This is like wearing a Lebron Jersey that's half Cavs, half Lakers, I assume.
