Futbol as Football: Fortuna Düsseldorf 1895



Futbol as Football Series: Fortuna Düsseldorf from 2.Bundesliga in Germany.

F95 has a pretty simple badge with the F fitting the mold of the Belton Tigers, Arlington Martin Warriors and other teams who employ a similar stylized lettering on their helmets (at least two you can see here at the Texas High School Helmet Project).

Reason Number 2 that I chose Fortuna: they had checkered sleeves on their kit from last year! This year they have a red with dark red striped first kit going with white sleeves and yoke from Puma. 

Reason Number 3: This is a tip of the hat to the folks who have visited the blog from Germany. 

I'm going to try to do other squads from different countries who have visited us, just give us some time :).

I went with an Under Armour template for a "realistic" look. Here in the States, the top three football uniform manufacturers are Nike, Adidas and Under Armour. Puma is probably number two (just a guess) in Europe (3 maybe), so with that I decided to outfit F95 in a top tier uniform manufacturer. 

And if you could follow my logic through that last bog of psuedointellectualism , kudos to you!
