Former River Plate Star Coudet Joins Strikers

Eduardo "Chacho" Coudet has recently signed with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers which gives a little more meat to the hungry Striker Likers out there waiting for opening day. Coudet, a bleached-blonde defensive midfielder is known for his take out the legs and ask questions later attitude. He peaked back in 2000 when he was an integral part of River Plate's early millennium success.

Most recently he's been a journeyman, last year spending the season with MLS debutantes Philadelphia Union.

One thing's for sure, his hair will continue to be bleached. Just kidding, expect to see some hardcore River supporters out there, and many other Argentines. Coudet played for a total of 5 Argentinean clubs including River Plate, San Lorenzo, Rosario Central, Platense and Colon.

Not a star signing by any means, but should be fun to watch as he throws elbows, goes into tackles with both feet and yells at the referees constantly.

This is the team that win the argentinian league 33 times. Their traditional kit is white shirt with red diagonal band, black short and white socks. For River's kit I made an atypical design with the three stripes as a continuesion of the diagonal band. The three stripes on the short follows the shirt's design. The socks I left simple only with red turnovers.
A very often used version of the home kit, with white short.
The away kit is opposite to the home one, with black shirt and socks, white short. The red parts from the home kit can be found here, the only change is the red V neck and the trims.
An all black away version.
Following the advices from FSC site where I posted initialy as red shirt with black band, I made a different third kit, red shirt with three black vertical stripes, red short and red socks.
