New York Cosmos Kit Relaunched
New York Cosmos Kit Relaunched
The legendary New York Cosmos team is reforming in style with new releases of the their classic kit by UK sportwear manufacturer Umbro. The all star football team which used to include football heroes such as Pele and Beckenbauer is reforming with Pele and Eric Cantona.
During their time in between 1971-1985 before unfortunately going out of business due Pele leaving the club and the general the decline of the North American Soccer League, the New York Cosmos won 5 national tournaments and the Transatlantic Cup 3 times.
Since the failure of the club there have been numerous attempts to reform and re-launch the club, unfortunately without success. However an announcement by the new Honorary president, Pele, in August 2010 marked the return of the Cosmos back to football.
Classic Football Clothing with a great heritage
In 1971, when the team founded, the colours green and yellow where chosen in a bid to attract Brazilian Footballer Pele over to the team in the United States. Purely by chance these colours were very similar to the New York Generals, which had recently collapsed at the end of the 1968 season. Pele did join the club in 1975 which led to the colours of the kit changing to an all-white look to mimic Peles former club from Brazil, Santos.
The new kit for the reformed team is being tailored and produced by UK clothing manufacturer, Umbro. The new kit takes it’s inspiration from the 1977 kit which was worn by Pele during his last ever pro football game.
This inspiration and influence can clearly be seen in the new releases of the kits with the recognizable green and yellow collar. The shirt also includes the classic number 10 on the back along with the Pele name. Other on field products include a black goalkeepers shirt, whit shorts, and some great looking white socks with green and yellow stripes.
Along with the fantastic range of on-field clobber there is a range of off-field gear to compliment it. One of the best looking pieces is the Anthem Jacket in the same eye catching Brazilian green with yellow and white stripes around the collar. On the back of the jacket is the striking New York Cosmos logo in high quality print.
Another classic off-field piece is the classic 76-77 white shirt, again featuring the famous Pele number 10. Those of your familiar with the Umbro shorts will be happy to know that the classic checkerboard style will be joining the rest of the cosmos line up.…
T-Shirts – The Cross Generation Style That Will Remain Forever!
T-Shirts – The Cross Generation Style That Will Remain Forever!
While fashions come and go, there are some styles that just won’t go away. No, it’s not bell bottoms; people don’t like them so much anymore. That doesn’t mean that you won’t see them here and there, but they are not the mainstream anymore.
It really is funny how if you wait long enough, almost all styles come back in some way or another. It probably has something to do with a generation growing up, having children, and those children digging in their parents’ closets and pulling the weird stuff out of boxes in the back.
Most people keep certain things, regardless of how weird or trendy the fashion was, you have good memories of those days. You’re almost always dealing with everything that was popular when you finally grow up. That may be right after high school when you went to work or it may be after graduating from the university where some of your styles may have changed and evolved. The point is that most of us are struggling with whatever is popular at the time when we feel like we’re all grown up and do not try to follow what new styles are swirling on.
No matter what the trend or style was, it probably had some things in common with every other generation in recent decades. Especially jeans and t-shirts that seem to survive these turbulent changes taking each generation and they select some strange things to distinguish themselves. Whatever the reason, if it is to fit in or stand apart, each developed his own style, and somehow affect their future appearance. But no matter what things look weird and the photographic evidence of your fashion experiments can always be denied, there are some things that you could still pull it out today.
So pull out those old T-shirts rock band of the eighties and nineties and it fits right in. Just pair with a pair of blue jeans and you look like you just got a new dress at the mall. Only the shirt you wear is not a reproduction from the shopping center, is a classic shirt and vintage that does so much better. There is nothing better than a good old, worn in t-shirt to wear at the end of the week and on weekends. Just look in the closet, you are sure to find one.…
Specializing in Wholesale Dropshipping? – Let the SaleHoo Directory Give You a Hand
Specializing in Wholesale Dropshipping? – Let the SaleHoo Directory Give You a Hand
Finding a good product for your wholesale dropshipping business is not as hard as it seems to be. The best products are usually the products people need regularly. If someone buys a washing machine for instance, it is not likely he will buy another one in six months. On the other hand if the margin on that appliance is enormous you might as well go for washing machines. Best to sell products though which are not impressed by crises, seasons or other exterior factors. Like clothes…
Everybody wears clothes, each and every day. At least, we take that as a starting point. Due to financial circumstances people might spend less on clothes than they were used to, but they still spend money on clothes. So selling clothes on the internet could be a good idea. Could, if not already thousands of other sellers were selling clothes as well. So you have to stand out and specialize. Here is where a wholesale directory like SaleHoo comes in handy.
Once you paid your onetime fee to get access to the directory you can browse over 8,000 verified and reviewed wholesale companies. Of course you will find your clothes companies there as well. You can chose between sportswear, brand names, fashion, leisure, men’s, women’s and childrens clothing, outdoor, party, evening dress and so on. By picking one category or another you are already defining yourself more than someone who just sells any clothes he can get his hands on for a low price. By combining outdoor and sports you operate in the “same” area, and by adding men, women and children you create a rather broad spectra. Face it, the combination outdoor and evening dress may be exotic but hardly marketable.
Through SaleHoo you find your wholesale and/or dropshipping companies with whom you want to partner. Make sure that they have a good return system as clothes is one area where a high percentage of the goods may be returned: too big, too small, color too this or that, you can fill that in yourself as you probably have returned ordered clothes yourself once or many times. That is the down point on selling clothes: people are sometimes pickier over a $9.00 t-shirt than over a new fridge.
The good point on selling clothes is that you can sell the accessories that come with your category. Say outdoor and you think of hiking shoes, backpacks big and small, water bottles, gloves and what not. Say sports and you think of sports shoes and socks, sun glasses, wrist bands, head bands and so on. Your website store is already filling nicely and by having made choices in an earlier stage you will find your marketing later on so much easier: it is all in one area.…

Tips on How to Choose Baby Clothes
Tips on How to Choose Baby Clothes
We all want to give our babies the best thing we can give. Here in this article, I will share some tips on how to choose baby clothes and I hope they can help you.
Be careful about the colors.
Be careful when the clothes are too colorful or too bright. They might contain some toxins which are safe to grown-ups but very harmful to babies. We suggest you choose baby clothes which are in light colors such as white or light beige, which are comparatively safer than those in dark colors.
Be careful about the materials.
I think it is common sense that we should choose baby clothes which are made of pure cotton. Cotton baby clothes allow the skin to breathe freely and they are softer than any other clothes. When babies are wearing clothes which are made of pure cotton, they will feel more comfortable and easier to move and learn.
Be careful about the buttons and zippers.
For little babies, it is not a good idea to choose clothes with buttons or zippers. Babies are so curious that they might try to put the colorful buttons into their mouths. This is very dangerous so try to avoid clothes with buttons.
Zippers are also dangerous for babies because zippers might hurt their skin and fingers. Generally speaking, we recommend clothes which are tied from the behind which are much safer.
Be careful about the prices.
Babies grow fast and sometimes you need to buy new clothes for him every month. That’s why you have to take prices into consideration. However, we don’t recommend you buy those clothes which are too cheap because safety is the most important issue for your babies.
Buy at least 4 more pairs of socks than you actually need.
You should prepare more socks than you really need. This is because the socks are easy to fall off and you might ignore them. We suggest you buy socks with elastic bands which should be neither too tight nor too loose.
Choose clothes that can be washed by washing machine.
Most of your baby clothes should be easily washed and dried by washing machine. You will find it too difficult for you to wash all the clothes by hand because your baby might produce a ton of dirty clothes every day.
Certainly, you can buy some clothes for special occasions which need to be washed by hand.
After all, the first thing you should consider is safety when you buy baby clothes. Buying baby clothes online may be a good choice on the premise that you find reliable sellers.…
Mario Batali – Well Known in His Chef Pants
Mario Batali – Well Known in His Chef Pants
Mario Batali is a critically acclaimed chef and restaurateur, an award-winning author, and a well-known and beloved television personality in uniform polo shirt. Mario Batali is one of the most widely-recognized and respected chefs who work in America today. He was raised in Seattle, and studied the golden age of the Spanish Theater at Rutgers University. After he graduated he entered culinary training at London’s Le Cordon Bleu, but he immediately withdrew due to a lack of interest. After an apprenticeship with legendary London chef Marco Pierre White, and three years of intensive culinary training in a tiny village in northern Italy, he had built a solid foundation of essential culinary skills and knowledge. He returned to his native America eager to refute the checkered tablecloth image of Italian restaurants. Working with his business partner, Joe Bastianich, Batali has created a super-successful culinary and restaurant empire embracing New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Singapore. The flagship restaurant was award-winning Babbo Ristorante e Enoteca in Greenwich Village, opened in 1998, where Batali seamlessly combined the principles of traditional Italian cuisine with intelligent new culinary adventures. The James Beard Foundation haled it the Best New Restaurant of 1998; and the New York Times awarded it three stars. Six years later a re-review maintained Babbo’s three-star achievements and its excellence compared to the finest restaurants in New York City.
Batali is chief in chef uniforms and also is the owner of Lupa Osteria Romana, a Roman style trattoria which opened in 1999; and Esca, a seafood trattoria in southern Italian style which opened in the Theater District in 2000. In 2003, in collaboration with Joe Bastianich, he opened another downtown eatery, the Otto Enoteca Pizzeria, which is right around the corner from the historic Washington Square Park. In 2003 he opened two restaurants adjacent to Gramercy Park: Park Bar Jamon is a bustling tapas bar with a wonderful selection of Spanish cheeses, ham, and other small plate specialties; and Casa Mono, located next door to Bar Jamon, is a Spanish style taverna which features a fabulous array of tapas, traditional entrees, wines, and sherries. In 2005 the pair opened Del Posto, a spacious, luxurious, and comfortable restaurant located in New York City’s meatpacking district, which features modern Italian cooking. Batali’s first restaurant venture on the west coast was a collaboration with Nancy Silverton, the Osteria Mozza and the Pizzeria Mozza restaurants in Los Angeles. Both restaurants share the corner of Highland and Melrose Avenue, and both have been tremendous successes. Osteria Mozza features a center-island mozzarella bar where fresh mozzarella is made all day long every day. Last year they added two take-out locations, Mozza2Go and Scuola di Pizza. In his first-ever foreign venture, Batali will soon open Osteria Mozza and Pizzaria Mozza at Marina Bay Sands Resort Casino in exotic Singapore. Among the many accolades he has received in chef pants, Batali was named the 1999 Man of the Year in the …
How to Store Out of Season Wardrobes
How to Store Out of Season Wardrobes
Building your wardrobe costs a lot of money and protecting it should be a priority. Properly storing and caring for your garments will ensure years of good use. Clothes often become wrinkled and musty while in storage. Use these tips to keep your clothes in good shape and smelling fresh, whether you’re using them or not.
1) Hang your clothes while you store them if you can. Use a spare room, garage, basement, or corner of your bedroom to store a rolling garment rack. Hanging your coats, suits, and dresses will help them to keep their shape. Using a garment rack cover will help you keep dust off of your stored clothes and ensure that they’re not exposed to excess moisture.
2) Don’t you just hate it when you pull your clothes out of storage and they smell bad? You put them in clean, but they still come out with musty odors. Cedar hangers or cedar accessories absorb the moisture that causes this moldy mildew smell. This is more important if your stored clothes are near a bathroom, if you live in a humid climate, or if you store your clothes in a basement or garage. The deodorizing and moisture absorbing quality of cedar is what has made it so popular in closets across the globe.
3) You can store more items in a smaller space by using specialty clothes hangers. Space saving hangers are great for storage. They are slim, fit close together, and allow you to cascade items so that you use less space on the hanging bar. Choose slim hangers that are strong enough to hold up your garments without bending. If the clothes don’t hang properly from the hanger, they will get wrinkled while in storage.
4) Store items that you don’t want to hang, like sweaters, in vacuum sealed bags or plastic containers that seal. You can keep them smelling fresh by using used dryer sheets. Don’t use new ones, because they can leave a white waxy film on your clothes. Using containers that seal or cedar accessories ensures that moisture is not a problem for you.
5) Be creative when it comes to storage. There’s no need to fill up your closets with your out of season clothing. Store containers underneath couches, beds, in the garage, or install a ceiling bracket and hang them from there. Try not to use space in your every day closet and you’ll have more room than ever before.
6) Keep in mind that our body oils are left on clothes that we’ve worn. Make sure that you get suits, dresses, and sweaters cleaned before you store them. Body oils can cause damage to certain fabrics, attract moths and other pests, and make your clothes smell bad.
7) Use the clothes hangers that work best with your garments. Keep outfits paired with hangers that cascade or combination hangers. If you’re careful and follow these rules when storing your clothes, then they will …
