Podcast: The Joy of Retro Football Shirts

Please share:
England’s iconic 1990 Third Kit and FC Nantes (1970s)

Our guest is Josh Chapman, AKA The Kitsman, whose Twitter feed has gone stratospheric since he first shared a few of his retro shirts online. Join us as we discuss some of the most iconic modern shirt designs, pick our personal favourites, and also get Josh’s tips on where to find shirts and score the best deals.

For those interested in the origins of replica shirts, definitely seek out ITV’s Get Shirty if you’re in the UK, which looks at the history of the shirt-maker Admiral.

This is the Olimpia (Paraguay) kit I mention. Those numbers, too! Also, check out our podcast on World Football Club Crests.
