Espanyol Shirts
Parakeet Power in Barcelona
|
RCD Espanyol are known as 'Los Pericos' - The Parakeets - apparently, not because of the colour of Espanyol shirts.
Despite being the second most important team in Barcelona, they are one of Spain's big clubs and have rarely been out of the Primera Liga.
They seem to be going through a bad moment of form at the moment, though, but with the opening of their new stadium in Cornellà, I'm sure they'll be
back near the top of La Liga and competing in Europe in the near future.

Espanyol Home Strip
The Espanyol home shirt is a classic of Spanish football and the blue and white design remains basically unchanged since 1913.
The current model is very elegant, in my opinion - I particularly like the rounded neck.
The colours and the badge are based on the heraldic emblem of the medieval Catalan general - Roger de Llúria.
So these Espanyol shirts have got a nice touch of history about them as well.
Espanyol Away Strip
|
I don't know the heraldic background of Espanyol's away shirt but I'm sure there is some kind of historical reference.
A white cross on a red background definitely smells of medieval warriors to me!
Anyway, these also really nice and much more difficult to get hold of.
I think the position of the badge - in the centre of the cross - is an example of first-rate design.

Espanyol Retro Shirts
|
Another garment I'd be really proud to wear would be an Espanyol Retro Shirt. The two examples that I've found are designs from the
1950s and 1970s.
As you can see, the colours are the same but the design is much more solid.
This model is from the seventies and the supplier tells me that more models will be available in the future.

Other Top-Notch Suppliers
I've included the banners below because UKSoccerShop and Kitbag are two more excellent suppliers of football kits and equipment to the international market.
At the time of writing, modern Espanyol shirts were temporarily out of stock at UKSoccerShop.
Whilst Kitbag allow you to shop by brand, they don't currently represent UHLSport - Espanyol's manufacturer. This may have changed by the time you read this,
however.
