A Shield of Green and White

 

After a 3 hour sleep due to arriving late because of the Asia crown event. My worries were not that big since I know it is just a 10k run and I can easily survive it, but a PR was out of the question since we will be climbing the kalayaan flyover that got me so familiarized during my 16 and 21k runs.

Review: DLSU Archers Dream game jersey

Today, we take a look at the Jerseys used for the PBA Blue vs. Green Dream game. The match featured Alumni PBA and former PBA players against each other at the big dome.

The Jerseys are head and shoulders above the ones used from the previous Ateneo La Salle dream game a few years back (those with yakult logos at the middle of the jerseys).

Animo

As much as I don't want to bash my Alma Mater's running club, what they did was unacceptable.This was my 24th and final run of the year, and sadly, had the worst on the race support and assistance side.

First of all there were barely, to no hydration at all. This is because there are only 3 hydration stations at the whole route and "barely" because by the time you passed them, there were no more water/ rockstar energy drink to serve you.

Second is the late start of the race, they can't even determine which site the runners might start.

Third and the worst is the sharing of the route with the red cross event. While they gave us a small space to pass through, it was still blocked by thousands of their runners/ walkers. You literally have to pass shove and part thousands of them just to get across

What's worse is after making a U-Turn at Luneta, the red cross run had started. crowded by those thousands, Walking! and stopping and shouting upon the sight of their Jeje-celebrity idols.

Fourth is having zero marshals to the race. The marshals that were guiding us were from the red cross run

Luckily, there were some bright points

The finisher's medal was big, there was an unannounced finisher's shirt, which was a good surprise. There was still no water at the event area but there were overflowing milk and yogurt.

DLSU Centennial Jackets, Adidas vs Nike

Today, we take a look at the 2 DLSU Centennial Jackets made by two of the world's leading sporting brands. Because, at the midst of its centennial year, the Shield of green and white switched sides from the 3 stripes, to the Swoosh.

Nike DLSU Centennial Jacket



The DLSU Nike Centennial Jacket was not released commerically but made available only thru its varsity players. The design is similar to the Commercially released 2010 Smart Gilas Team Pilipinas, 2010 USA Fiba Worlds, 2010 Ateneo and 2010 FEU Jackets. It features a Square outline pattern which runs from the sleeve area up to the chest. The upper chest part bears the school logo and the swoosh mark.



The back design bears your generic placements of the Green Archer logo just under the nape area and the big script seen at the back. What makes this different from the other UAAP/ National Team Nike jackets is the sublimated patch at the back which also bears 3 additional logos.



The logos contain the School seal and the two centennial logos, a text based one, and a silhouette of St, John Baptist De la Salle. The Sublimated Patch is then sewn at the back.




Adidas DLSU Centennial Jacket



Unlike the Nike Released Counterpart, The Adidas DLSU Centennial Jacket was commercially released with most of the sizes completely sold out. As of now, there were still some which made it to the markdown, Albeit with extreme sizes such as Women's XS and Men's XXL Left.



The Jackets were released in cream white and green colorways and featured the centennial logo proudly displayed at the back. The print is big and occupies at least the lower 3/4 of the jacket.



The front design features the Adidas logo and DLSU Star. Side Design is made up of the trademark 3 stripes and followed by black accents at the neck collar, sleeves and the waistline.



Overall, the 3 stripes win by a hairline.

Review: Accel DLSU Muscle Shirt

 

I came across these Jerseys when looking over sports shops in the metro. Aparrently, Accel got a license to make store released alternative jerseys for some collegiate squads. While these aren't the official game jerseys, the graphic laden designs caught my attention. They seem to be like those alternative fashion jerseys which the NBA releases of that aren't game issued.

So now we take a look at one of those collegiate Jerseys (or muscle shirt as the tag suggests).
