When it comes to ill jerseys no other sport really compares to soccer. Clubs switch up their kits every season. Yeah, none of that keeping the same look for the better half of a decade mess. And when it comes to kits, Umbro is one of the best brands out. The English sportswear company—which has been around for 88 years—recently unveiled the Universitario de Deportes home shirt.

Players of the Peruvian club will wear the kits during the upcoming 2012 season. The shirt features an internal crest of a claw design which represents Universitario's colors and their characteristic of being "strong and resilient." When the jersey is worn the crest lies directly over your heart.

Damn. Sure beats just slapping the team logo on the front and calling it a day. The beautiful game, indeed.
