The italian Volleyball team Modena will be wearing a new One Piece themed jersey next season. Pretty awesome.

I didn't know One Piece was popular at all on Italy.

Woah...awesome!...

I knew I liked volleyball for a reason.

Now, whenever they serve, spike, or otherwise play the ball during a match, they have to use the Straw Hats' various attack names!

Oh, that's awesome! Does anyone know the story behind this? One thing for it to be One Piece, other is that they're wearing a Jersey sponsoring any type of show. I never seen that before.

Either way, I fuckin' want that shirt.

Can i get that jersey in a XL16?

I'm just curious, I clicked the link, but I didn't see the same "From behind" shot of the uniform, where'd you find that I'm wondering?

Anyway DO WANT! I'd pay ANYTHING to have that.

I got the bigger pic in a brazillian sports website, their article says only the team's libero will wear the Luffy shirt, and Modena used other sponsored jerseys in the last couple years (Spider-Man and Iron Man).

Btw, here is their official shop..it should be on sale soon:

That's just fucking fantastic! Is One Piece really popular in Italy? I'm just trying to figure out why they chose it. Not that I'm complaining mind you...

~~Kuwabara~~ · September 27th, 2008, 06:10 PM

Oda likes volleyball :P

Hyrrokkin · September 27th, 2008, 06:38 PM

I Need That Shirt!

Will people in the US be able to buy them?

RuNa · September 27th, 2008, 09:00 PM

Haha, these are cool.

I wonder why the Japanese teams don't do something cool like this...

I babelfished the page and as far as I can tell, under their Help section, they ship to anywhere in Europe, anywhere outside Europe, you have to contact them via Email. Of course I wonder if they have someone who can understand English. I'll definitely try when they get them in though.

King Kobra · September 27th, 2008, 10:29 PM

Isn't out there a more elaborated story behind this?

~~Kuwabara~~ · September 28th, 2008, 02:22 PM

Ill take a shot at it:

The team takes one popular thing in italy and advertises it for cash, as u can see, they did iron man and spiderman, but recently one piece has become more popular, so the company behind oda probably cut a exclusive deal with this italian volleyball team to advertise there characters while they play.
