AVID Soccer Equipment Review Announces the Winners of Its 2007 Goal Keeper Shoot-out

Palmdale, CA, August 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- While soccer may be a team sport, the Keeper stands alone. Number four and five in their shoot-out series, the AVID Soccer Equipment Review conducted head-to-head comparisons of match level goal keeper jerseys and gloves. Each jersey was put through its paces side by side with peers. Some two stood tall and the others took a dive.

Both of their tests focused on comfort and durability. In the first round, they tested jerseys from Umbro (England National Team jersey) , Nike (Premier and Mercurial) and Kappa. In the end, even they had to admit that two stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The second round focused on the asset that sets a keeper apart, his/her hands. AVID Soccer tested top of the line gloves from adidas, Selsport and Reusch. Each has been a favorite of one or more testers over the past six months. Find out is reigning AVID Soccer‘s 2006 “Goal Keeper Glove of the Year” maintained the crown or was dethroned by one of the Germans.
