There's literally no end to the amount of talents that lurk within David Beckham – they include kicking Argentinians, advertising Pepsi, marrying idiots, possibly sleeping around, giving children crap names and scoring one good goal ever, but that's not all.
Because David Beckham is also a frustrated fashion designer too. That side of Beckham's personality has laid dormant ever since Alex Ferguson told him that he could eff off if he wanted to add mauve tassels to the Manchester United away kit, but now it has been awoken to furious effect. As if going off to get paid $1 million a week to have a kickaround in LA wasn't enough for David Beckham, he's also rumoured to be redesigning the LA Galaxy kit.
Or at least he will be, as soon as the LA Galaxy tailors have decoded the wax crayon scrawl that David Beckham handed them with 'Vis iz mi an I lik mi nu clovves' written underneath it anyway.
David Beckham is one of the luckiest men on Earth. Most blokes would be happy to get paid tens of thousands of pounds a week to sit on a bench in Spain for 90 minutes, but David Beckham wanted more and got it. Now that David Beckham has signed for the Los Angeles Galaxy, he'll get paid a million dollars a week to play against awful footballers in front of tiny crowds every Saturday without ever worrying about about another serious sporting competition ever. And the world has opened up to David Beckham since he decided to move to LA.
In Europe David Beckham was just a jumped-up perfume salesman, but now David Beckham has moved to LA he teaches Maddox Jolie how to play football, has long telephone chats with Tom Cruise, turns down property offers from Michael Jackson and gets immortalised in unconvincing wax while his wife suddenly learns a bit of common sense. But all the money and fame by association doesn't fulfil David Beckham's most primitive desire – the desire to create.
And that's why it's being reported that David Beckham has been allowed to redesign the LA Galaxy football kit, as LondonNet quotes Tim Leiweke, president of AEG who own the Los Angeles Galaxy as saying:
"We have a good name but we need a more legendary, traditional kind of look and the kit and badge will change. We made a decision that it was time to start thinking how we can create a world brand. David Beckham will obviously help enormously with that and we can't wait to see him here."
OK, two points – firstly the Los Angeles Galaxy is not a good name by any means. It sounds like a local newspaper or a pop-heavy radio station. Secondly, have you not seen how David Beckham dresses? We wouldn't even let him design a handkerchief for us, let alone the clothes that we're most often seen in public wearing.
Even though we can't help shaking the feeling that the new David Beckham-designed LA Galaxy kit will be made of a crystal viking helmet, full-length chinchilla coat and eagleflame boots with 24-inch stacked heels, at least we can console ourselves that the news isn't quite as bad as it could have been.
No. That would be if Victoria Beckham was allowed to help David out with the colouring in.

come on get your facts strait david beckham has been ranked in the top 10 best footballers in the world for the last 10 years or more and has probably
been the the number 1 midfielder for that time.and most of the criticism he has had over the last year should have been aimed at the whole team, and not at
him alone after all had england won the world cup there would have 22 players up there claiming there medals.likewise at real madrid..
all though i don’t think every thing he does is perfect i do think your artical has been tinged by the green eyed monster
Craig Evans says
What’s wrong Stuart?
Iit’s hilarious how you Beckham-haters are all so bitter now he’s proved himself to be yet again the best player in the England squad.
The denial is just embarassing.
Good luck to Becks, that’s what I say. For someone who gives 110% for club and country, he sure comes in for a lot of unnecessary criticism.
Wadey says
Actually I think I agree with Craig. He seems a nice enough chap and can kick a football so I hope he enjoys his LA experience.
Macake says
I think this will change the quality and rythm of soccer in Galaxy and the US. Kudos!!! Beckham.

Stuart,
What is wrong with you? If David Beckham is so thick why is he so sucessful, because he is a decent human being. He could have quite easily sat at home counting all his money like other rich Footballers and other rich sportspeople. He is doing alot for child development (The Academy) and child poverty (UNICEF Ambassador), if you look at this video I know you would not allow these people in Sierra Leone to touch you, because you sound so stuck-up;

Reason why he is so successful globally because he is happily married for nine years, he is not falling out of night clubs or is critising others. That is something all Hollywood people are trying to aspire to and very rarely achieve.
Look Stuart, I didn’t even talk about the football.

It must take a lot of energy to be so negative and downright mean. Infantile article; inaccurate, and sad. Let us know when you get a real wit, until then please, for your sake and ours, stay off the pipe; Meth kills! Peace & Love, Medusa-
