The Ultimate Guide to Iconic Football Kits from the world’s most prominent football shirt archive and retailer, Classic Football Shirts
This is a love letter to football shirts and fan culture, told through the world’s most sought-after kits.
Football shirts, once just an indicator of local club and rarely changing between seasons, have evolved over the past 50 years into
objects of self-expression filled with nostalgia and emotion. Personal to each wearer, each shirt carries memories of where you were when you watched the game, who you were with and how you felt.
An established subculture has emerged around vintage kits, not only for their ability to capture a time and a feeling, but for their inherent coolness.
They have become highly coveted collector’s items for traditional football fans, casual viewers and fashion followers alike, with the search for one more to complete your collection a tantalising prospect. Seen everywhere from Paris Fashion week to Palace streetwear collabs to the wardrobes of celebrities such as Sabrina Carpenter, vintage football shirts have become a visible cultural phenomenon.
From greatest hits to modern classics, this book includes all the most iconic shirts from the archive of Classic Football Shirts. What once was a passion project grown from a student’s bedroom in Manchester has become a global brand with 5 stores and over 1.5 million followers. In the year of the World Cup and Classic Football Shirts’ 20th anniversary, readers can dive into the best archive of premium, match-worn shirts, often sourced from footballers themselves, in the world.
