In words, Marty, nothing. But in the language of interpretive dance? Obviously a great deal.

Ah,Yanks talking ´bout football. Hilarious. Didn´t you guys buy ol´Franz back in the 70ies, together with a bunch of other overpriced ex-heroes ?

And just a little hint. Call adidas if ya aren´t happy with the balletto. Or Becks. He is much into dancing, too:

Ahh, good question. I would say Klinsmann, what with his American floundering, his penchant for divery, and his all-around happy wanderer sunny German attitude puts him squarely in the 'id' camp, whereas Beckenbauer, all stern defending and cautious tactics, is superego all the way.

Richard, does this have anything to do with the conflict between Klinsmann and Beckenbauer? Which one is id and which one is superego?

It was a classic exemplar of the battle between good and evil…notice the subtle contrast between light and dark. The frenetic nonsensical movement denotes the raging battle between Bayern's id and superego.

Next time, can they just like, post the kit up on the internet? Are those photogs seriously going to use ANY of those pics?

With those gentlemen in the middle of it all, it looks like a stag party at some kind of avant-garde lap-dancing club.

The funniest part is those few seconds of silence at the end.

It's actually just about passing the time. I mean they're making all these people turn up with lights and cameras and what not, have to give 'em at least 20 mins of something, so why not, ahem…dancing chicks.

Maybe it's to draw attention away from the fact that the kits are actually really, really boring?
