Soccer Style: Pelé Sports Summer 2011 Collection

Since its introduction last year, Pelé Sports has emerged as one of the most innovative soccer brands on the market with apparel designs that always appeal to the soccer lovers.

As many soccer players take some time off from the game for vacations, league breaks or because of intolerable heat, here is a look at some of the items in the Pelé Sports Summer 2011 Collection that can be used from the beach to the gym to the practice pitch. We like to think of this a Summer Soccer Style.

The Pelé Sport Summer 2011 Collection is now available at WorldSoccer Shop.

Heart and Soul Graphic T-Shirt

The Heart and Soul Graphic T-Shirt is the Pelé Sports Summer Collection standout product in our opinions. Made of a lightweight polyester cotton blend, it features a ringer neck, split curved botton area and eyecatching graphics that scream soccer. These include the Pelé Sport Pelada badge and brand signature – that of Pelé himself – along with a Heart an Soul and Futsal text graphics on its back and front areas respectively. We regard it as the quintessential soccer T-shirt of the Summer of 2011.

Superstar Graphic T-Shirt

Combine an eye-catching bright blue color way with the Pelé Sports look and you’ve got the brilliant Superstar T-Shirt. With the text “SUPERSTAR” on its chest and “PELE” on its back, it is sure to impress you admirers on an off the soccer field. It is also extremely comfortable since it is made of modern lightweight brushed cotton.

The Superstar T is a must if you live in or are heading to cooler climes (perhaps South America, South Africa or Australia ) this time of year. If not, it will come into play in late August when the summer things start cooling down for the those of us in Europe and North America.

Striped Polo

Need something for a more dressed up night out at the pub, restaurant or even a business casual office environment? Check out the all new Pelé Sports Striped Polo. This retro-feel shirt is reminiscent of the polos of the 1970s and 1980s that seem to be the inspiration for some of today’s soccer jerseys (think the Schalke 04 2010/11 home kit). It offers a slim fit to show off the physique that you’ve worked hard to develop on the soccer field and is made of high quality pique cotton.

Along with bright orange Pelé Sports Three Stars on the chest and the Pelé signature on one sleeve, the Striped Polo has its cuffs and collar accented in bright orange for some spunk.

King Soccer Shorts

The Pelé Sports King Soccer Shorts are a contemporary classic that is suitable to almost any outdoor summer activity that you need to be cool and nimble when
doing.

Made of lightweight, sweat absorbing polyester, the King shorts feature a print that contains Pelé Sports signature symbols such as the King Crown and Pelada badge. Throw in gold accents (including the metallic ends of the pants’ drawstrings) and you’ve got one of the best looking soccer shorts on the market.

French Terry Soccer Shorts

The Pelé Sports French Terry Soccer Shorts are the most traditional-styled piece that we’ve seen from the firm’s Summer 2011 Collection. They are your core, chillout shorts but now updated by the designers at Pelé Sports with a lightweight cotton fabric and flattened drawstrings. The use of yellow with green accents are our favorite touch on these since they are the famed colors of Pelé’s Brazil national soccer team.
