New Italy Kit: Large Dolphin Costume?

The apparent appointment of Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips, as the new Italian national team manager opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the World Champions.

Previous coach, Marcello Lippi, had been quoted as saying he wanted to alter the way the Italian team played and was pushing inovation. Mr Coyne has been pushing the boundaries of popular music for the last decade or so and should fit well into this new world.

Apparently his first orders were to introduce a new home kit, a large dolphin costume in traditional azzuri blue and orders to players to douse their faces with fake blood 3/4 of the way through games, in order to get the crowd going.

The azzuri are to embark on a 32 date world tour later on in the year to promote their new album "At War With Les Bleus"

Great spot indeed. Do you think that before Italian matches the players listen to 'Race For The Prize'? Can't help thinking that Stuart Pearce's usual blast of Sex Pistols stuff would be more effective, mind...
