Pink is the new black
This is Nike’s new Mercurial Rosa football boot. Observant readers will notice that the Rosa is pink. Yes… pink! It would takes one confident player to slip on a pair of these.
So, can you guess which Premier League forward has been forced asked by Nike to wear the Rosas, in front of real, live fans?
Answer after the jump:
No, it’s not Cristiano Ronaldo. Good guess though.
The answer is:
Yes, it’s Nicklas Bendtner of Arsenal.
Poor chap. Surely no fans will mock his pink footwear, perhaps by making up a chant that takes advantage of the fact his surname sounds a lot like “Bent”. No, that won’t happen.
Spoiler bonus! Watch an assortment of Nike-sponsored footballers and rugger buggers react to the sheer pinkness of the Rosas:

Urgh i hoped you were joking but i’ve just seen pictures of him wearing them! Along with the mullet he’s been sporting lately it is NOT a good look
