I’m sure there were many in the women’s game who raised their eyes to the heavens when they heard this one. It reminds me of the statement by FIFA President Sepp Blatter that women should wear tighter shorts in soccer to attract more investment – a statement ridiculed by people in the women’s game.
So what will they make of this I wonder.
Dutch women’s side FC de Rakt say their new ‘sexy kits’ are not a publicity stunt. The launch of the new kit – short skirts and tight tops – has seen a huge surge in interest in the team. They were all over the news last week.
Captain Rinske Temming says “It’s just a practical kit. Many girls have long wanted to play in skirts. We’ve opened the game for them.”
Here at Better Soccer Coaching the words exploitation, women’s lib and beach volleyball have all been muttered. Although I did note that Ronaldo sat without a shirt on for a good few minutes before he put on his strip for the Manchester United game against Chelsea…
See for yourself what the kits look like:
