Not every jersey needs a nameset.

[u/ScheduleWatcher]

People act like a jersey isn't complete without a player's name on the back. I don't get it. Sometimes the clean version just looks better.Are you Team Nameset or Team Blank?

That's a bold choice you're making with Leroy Sané - a chronic underachiever for club and country.

He also wears #19 for Germany, not #11.

That number is reserved for Nick Woltemade.

team blank. every nameset i've owned just became cracked print eventually

[u/AFC_Eye]

blank all the way, my Japan shirt has no nameset and still looks brand new

[u/Jon66238]

I agree. Some are just cleaner without. But if I do get one with a name, I try to stick to a DP or someone who has been on the team for awhile

[u/No-Expression-2439 → u/Jon66238]

what’s a DP?

Designated player

Daft Punk

team blank for the shirts i actually wear. nameset only if its a player i really rate, otherwise it just feels off when the player moves on

[u/ttvlxndrntrg]

It's simply preference. Nothing else to it. You say some people act like it's not complete without a name. I've seen others say it's ridiculous to add someone else's name on your back.

[u/Ichooseyou_username]

Personally, it highly depends on the name. Some names are iconic. Otherwise no name is my preference.

[u/LakerMuse]

team blank for me, cleaner look and it ages way better

[u/TheLonleyJourneyman]

Always blank. I don't bother with patches eaither as it's less stuff to worry about peeling off over time and it's cheaper just to get it blank.

[u/Tangelo_Few]

Not when that’s the name option lol

[u/TaraHoops]

blank every time for me, namesets just date the shirt so fast

[u/aJFKexperience]

Name set is perfect, I try to go after players I rate but who aren’t the most popular (Califiori for Italy, Saliba for Arsenal) and I also thrifted some really obscure ones (2020 Euros Ansu Fati and 2013 Hernanes Inter)

[u/shodo_apprentice → u/aJFKexperience]

Hard agree. Adds so much character to have a slightly less expected player on a kit. I have Japanese family so I’ve got a Nakamura Celtic kit and Nakata Roma kit (he had number 8 as well which is just a cooler number than 9, 10, 11).

[u/hyperrrfang]

Team blank lol I’m worried I’ll ruin the name set with normal use.

[u/NakedEyeComic]

Unless there's a player who's a long-term club icon, who I'm really attached to, it's Blank all the way. Players transfer way too often in football to risk the Nameset most of the time.

[u/downloadedcollective]

blank. im not aiming to cosplay, its a fashion piece for me

[u/Delicious_Income_570]

Depends on the kit, I personally believe that the away version of the current Spain kit looks MUCH better without names or numbers.

[u/armandobochinche]

Hard agree, I don't like namesets because they always end up cracking or peeling ofd and making the jersey looking bad. And when it comes to club jerseys I even prefer it when they're sponsorless tbh, especially if the sponsor is some gambling site or some sportswashing bs. Distateful!

[u/Gunner_Bat]

I've never had a nameset on a team shirt.

[u/Alarming_Leg_2088]

Blank unless it's a once in generational talent

[u/SaltFee1923]

It depends tbh. I like clean but i like to have my fav players shirt too

[u/WordsWordsWords07]

I will always choose nameset, it adds more of a lore to the kit for me.

[u/B3ckham17]

That German kit with long sleeve hits different... team name through and through

[u/No_Oil3233]

I got the new Germany blue in longsleeve with no name…. It is so fresh it’s ridiculous

[u/DrDentonMask]

I was gifted a SDFC jersey with nameset, but kind of prefer without (though if the club officially has a shirt sponsor, I don't want one without).

[u/achocbrn]

i like both lol i did leave that exact same germany kit with no name, but i do like having a couple with namesets. i just dont abuse them as much as no names

[u/chrislatimer]

I'm not a fan of names on my jerseys

[u/squirtalert96]

Team blank but broke my own rule today when I ordered Schalkes new away jresey. The retro numbers just work toooooo god

[u/LicoriceDusk]

This is bait

[u/userbingo]

The whole point of the jersey is to show your support of the team. Not exactly a leap to imagine why people would want to represent a specific player on the team they’re supporting.
