Casillas and Cech Debut Adidas 'History Pack' Goalkeeper Gloves
FC Porto's Iker Casillas and Arsenal's Petr Cech debuted the classy Adidas History Pack Keeper Gloves in yesterday's Champions League games. And while it was quite an unhappy night for Iker Casillas as Porto was eliminated from the Champions League after a 2-0 loss to Chelsea and a happy night for Petr Cech as Arsenal won 3-0 against Olympiakos to make it into the round of the last sixteen, Manuel Neuer couldn't even debut his gloves as he was rested for Bayern's next Bundesliga match.
Launched on Monday, the Adidas History Goalkeeper Gloves Pack brings the design of three iconic Adidas gloves of the past into the present. And while Adidas launched 1400 pairs of the gloves globally, they also gave pairs of their History Pack Editions to three of their best keepers in order to give the historic designs the on-pitch presence they still deserve. Big thanks to @ProD_Keepers for several of the pictures and the heads up.
