By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Fri, 10 Aug 2007

SACRAMENTO -- Beautiful black 'World Cup' shirts have been catching the fancy of boxing fans and organizers here alike, and they came all the way from the Philippines.
"Go Philippines!" is the battlecry printed at the back of the shirt made of sporty material, just above the Philippine tricolors with the silhouette of a fighter in the middle raising his fists in victory.
Just below the Philippine flag is the event title, the contending countries as well as the date and venue of the fight.
"That's one beautiful shirt you have," said IBF/IBO champion Nonito Donaire, referring to the black shirt he saw given out to mediamen by promoter Sammy Gello-ani at the lobby of the Best Western Sutton Hotel here.
A big "Pilipinas Kong Mahal" is printed in front, stoking the national fervor of fans for this huge World Cup event.
The design comes in three shirt colors of black, red and white and with a sleeveless and with sleeve vesions.
Black with sleeves.
Red, sleeveless.
White with sleeves.
