Avatars RUINED by the addition of football shirts for commoners

It's another thrilling update about a new kind of pretend fabric! See that man there? That's me wearing an England shirt.

Because today, Microsoft has basically RUINED all of Xbox Live by letting people put football shirts on their Avatars. Xbox Live now resembles a provincial pub. You can sense the air of menace. Some of those Avatars are packing knives.

18 European countries are represented in this new football-themed shame.

Some people will post anything just to get their few moments of attention.

Was it shameless when we got the other types of clothing? the tuxedos, the hippy type clothes?

So if this as you put it "now resembles a provincial pub." does that mean the tux's resembles stuck up snobs or maybe the ski clothes represents rich snobs from Aspen??

You criticize it yet there you are, using it.

Good Job.

Ruined? I rather am happy that MS has choosen to liven up the Avatars with a little International flare. He just added the "ruined" to get hits to his pointless article.

all i can say is........ VIVA ESPAÑA!!!!

[tatotiburon]

AUPA ESPAÑA!

[romaink]

personally, I thought the poster was just being sarcastic because of the rivalry that exists among football nations.

[Man_of_the_year]

OH NO - Damn you MS for giving us the choice to put these clothes on our avatars - Damn you the Heck..../sarcasm

[AvIt]

I have no problem at all in putting my avatar into a symbol of my footballing loyalties! I hope in the future they release club football strips

[vincentvegawchz]

But I dont see how this is a problem... I mean extra outfits, i would enjoy if sony added free clothes to my avatar at home? Why gripe about free stuff. I think its cool even if it was a wife beater shirt.

[bassturd]

uh huh. Don't get the problem with this either. Obviously someone that doesn't like football is complaining about it. I'm not a big fan of football but why would this bother anyone? PSN has football themes you can download as wallpapers and stuff as well.

[TheROsingleB]

lol its called Soccer, silly.

[Magic_The_Celt]

No, its football.

Americans *eyeroll*

[Woof]

Its actually Football ;)

[heyheyhey]

it is the REAL football

no-one cares about the rugby knock-off that is american football outside of america

[outlawlife]

sounds to me like somebody may be an angry hooligan, how dare they put shirts up for everyone!

i'm curious as to if we will ever see mlb,nfl stuff?

maybe nfl stuff through madden?

[Jack Bauer]

dangit, i got excited... i thought it was football not soccer :(

[ASSASSYN 36o]

All the clothes look like ass.

[bassturd]

most are...some are decent. Half of the clothes seem to cater to the 13 year old emo kid. Pink and black tie...stuff like that...

[Magic_The_Celt]

Ahhhh im so getting an england shirt!

[GiantEnemyCrab]

There free so if you don't like them don't use them. Yes, I think football jersies are stupid as hell and the way Europeans act over football is even more. But I will ignore them like I ignore all things Xbox avatar.

[Bengoshi-San]

Avatars "Ruined"

Way to Over-react.

Doofus.

[pixelsword]

But first, a comment:

Maybe people like to don their avatars with, you know, things they actually wear in real life instead of things they don't wear in real life.

Not everyone wants to wear a suit, nor desires to.

Without further ado, the article.

[caffman]

[AngryTypingGuy]

Damn it, I was all excited and then I realized they were talking about soccer. There's only one football, and it involves shoulder pads and a helmet.

[caffman]
