lmfao the r9 cut will always stay iconic


Cum_Smurf

In 2002 I played in a team with like 80% of the kids having this haircut and everyone wanted to wear the no 9.


casinoinsider

The definition of iconic is that something stays forever...

**Cambridge dictionary** Iconic: >Very famous or popular, especially being considered to represent particular opinions or a particular time

Besides being a fantastic kit, I will unfortunately have to buy one, I do love the Brazilian history we have as well. Romario, Ronaldo, Alex and Gomes were all world-class for us, and we've had a few decent Brazilian players since then as well. Hope we get a few new ones too, Savio working out for us would've been so much fun.


Rose_of_Elysium

IIRC we were close to signing Savio but were just too late. Was really against it at first but he really popped off This is a gorgeous kit, really isnt a bad one to be forced to buy lol


XuxuBelezas

Only PSV and Barcelona can say they had both Ronaldo and Romário playing for them, so yeah, that's something to be proud.


Rose_of_Elysium

I absolutely love this, we have some absolutely massive Brazilian players whove played for the club and still have a small link to Brazil which I hope gets bigger soon. And honestly I like the shirt Also that damned haircut lol


vgcristelo

I don't think non-Brazilians know how big Romário is for us (as a footballer, as a person he can go fuck himself), a lot of people here would argue that he's in the same level of greatness as Ronaldo.


Rose_of_Elysium

Most people here who can remember him love Romario too (tho nobody including me really knows how he is as a person but ill follow your advice on that one lol) I mean hell he advised Ronaldo to go to us to begin with iirc


MoscaMosquete

>tho nobody including me really knows how he is as a person He became a Senator in Brazil, a really infamous one. You can imagine what infamous politicians do.


XuxuBelezas

Just to make it clear, he was never caught in a corruption scandal or anything like that, people are just mad about his positions, although he has some good positions that anyone can agree with, mostly against healthcare insurance and stuff like that. For those who don't know, he had a daughter with down syndrome and he completely changed as a person after that, most of his agenda as a politician is in the healthcare area, both public and private. Then obviously as a politician he has a say in a lot of other stuff, that's where most of the hate comes from, but compared to the regular career politicians we have, I don't think there's anything particularly bad about him.


StonyShiny

Yeah, the main issue is he supported Bolsonaro, AFTER he basically killed over 500.000 brazillians by not doing shit during the pandemic (some people say he did it on purpose), among many other stupid things. Romário is part of a ultra conservative party in Brazil. For someone that had his life so impacted by a daughter with disability, a minority, it's surprising he joins people that say minorities don't matter.


Ze_Ricardo01

>(tho nobody including me really knows how he is as a person but ill follow your advice on that one lol) He became a senator in Brazil like 10+ years ago, he never got caught in corruption scandal. Dude is just mad at him because Romário doesnt share the same opinions as he does.


Floripa95

Romário in a 1v1 situation with the keeper was more lethal than Ronaldo, and that is saying something.


Available-Ad3881

I'll always love that, and I'm not sure how the story goes exactly, but Romário had a good relationship with Hiddink and eventually Hiddink moved to Valencia. PSV had everything in place for Romário to move to Valencia, and thus organised a friendly. Romário played, did what he had to do, and after the game he told the directors or whoever that he knew what was going on this whole time and that he had already signed with Barcelona.


oklolzzzzs

this kit is cleannn


Rose_of_Elysium

Yeah im really considering getting one its awesome


anon0918

Very nice kit. But I miss the philips sponsor.


ErrolKazoo

Romário, Vampeta, Ronaldo, Alex, Gomes, Tardelli, Fagner


VinitheTrash

Good to see they honoring the biggest brazilian to ever be on their team: Goalkeeper Cássio from Corinthians (He plays for Cruzeiro now)


XuxuBelezas

"do Corinthians" is his surname, that's why we have to say it every time, even if he's not there anymore.


TeaAndCrumpetGhoul

We need a bit of Mas que nada


blazev14

sometimes I’m reminded R9 and Romario had stints at PSV. insane to think how talents of that calibre will never set foot on a league outside the Big Five in today’s football.


TheGhoulKhz

Suarez at Ajax is quite funny too(a bar lower but still)


CA_spur

Three of the greatest ever Brazilians - Ronaldo, Romario, and Heurelho Gomes Jokes aside this is a really classy shirt.


Rose_of_Elysium

I will not stand for this Alex erasure


CA_spur

Alex was a really good player lol but seeing a video go from Romario to Ronaldo to Heurelho Gomes made me chuckle


Rose_of_Elysium

Heurelho Gomes was cult-hero level loved at his time with us. At one point he wanted to leave at the end of his contract and there was an actual fan petition to try and have him stay. He did leave shortly later for a pretty big fee but every season he was with us we won the title and in 2007 came extremely close to a CL final. Same goes for Alex


BrigadierBrabant

Gomes in the Eredivisie was probably one of the best keepers in the Eredivisie of all time, at the very least of this century. It's a shame he never worked out as well abroad, but he seemed to be a huge confidence player.


AssFingerFuck3000

He was absolutely catastrophic for us. Easily our worst keeper in the PL era bar perhaps Vorm who was a backup anyway. He wasn't terrible at Watford though


JD1337

Not our fault Gomes got Spurs'd. He was bossing it against the likes of AC Milan with us.


Sasquale

Imagine being able to say that Romário and Ronaldo played for your club Fuck Ajax


IDesignM

That kit is CLEEAAAAAAAN


Golfinho_Corinthiano

I want to buy this shirt I love PSV, because if Cássio played there we wouldn't have the greatest idol in our history


jrafael0

Hope they ship to brasil Im going after one of those for sure


darkjessy_

thinking about the Argentinian PSV players


Ragnarok_619

_PSV Bendover_ is my favorite Neanderthals club!


MaximumCreed

Thats weird as fuck. How about honouring their Dutch players instead?


JD1337

Damn you're right bro. Honoring some past legends from one nationality of course means that you'll exclude everyone else. Those stands named after former managers or players? meaningless now. The statues of Coen Dillen and Willy van der Kuijlen? Might as well melt them down now we've brought out this shirt. Smh my head.


Rose_of_Elysium

Luuk de Jong is currently being forced into the Brazilian nationality and changes his name to Luukinho. Eindhoven is an official Brazilian exclave now. Look at what weve done
