I coveted the earlier Spurs one (maybe '87?) with the diagonal pinstripes and the arrows, but when I went to get it I bought the dark-blue-with-alternate-sky-blue-and-white-diagonal-pinstripes third kit instead for some reason. It didn't have a collar either and I resented it from the moment I first wore it.

owned at some point as a child/teen an arsenal home (not sure why), pompey home (really not sure why), both an ugly celtic away and an ugly rangers away. also has this monstrosity:

I used to buy all the replica shirts through the worst era for Celtic away shirts (lol 1990s), and I think it's scarred me for life. Possibly literally, ugh cheap shiny material. I used to have an Ireland away shirt and a Brazil shirt at one point as well. Now all I own is a slimfit ladies Scotland shirt. I have a couple of Celtic official club shop t-shirts though which I bought for Seville, which still get an outing occasionally. Considering a St Pauli retro one.

I had the Scotland home with diamonds down the sleeves as a nipper (no idea what year it was, possibly '78?). I also had a polyester Arsenal top with huge collars that were great fun to chew on, though it didn't have a badge or anything and I suppose may not have been a footy shirt at all.

The two proper-proper (i.e. not TOFFS) shirts I have are both Saints ones - one from the most recent relegation season (i.e. the one that might as well be an Exeter shirt) and our current one (i.e. the loveliest thing in English football right now), as modelled by Jose Fuckin' Fonte:

Ismael xpost - my favourite Inter away with the massive St George's cross on it.
I used to have one of these! It was my FAVOURITE KIT. And then I stopped being able to wear clothes I owned when I was 10. ;_;
I currently only have this season's Arsenal away kit. No name on the back. When I was younger I had- Arsenal gk kit with the stars on it with Seaman 1 on the back, Arsenal away from the same year 94/95 w/ Wright 8, that Inter kit, a PSG home shirt with that cool Opel sponser w/ the lightning strike, a p sweet Italian away kit when it was all white...
Currently want- an Ajax one, from any time really; a Fiorentina Batitstuta or Baggio one; will get Fabregas 4 next season for his last at Arsenal; a Baresi 6 Milan shirt; I like the Udinese one with the lines all pushed in together; an Argentina away with Messi 10 etc. etc.

Last Saturday I went to see the first home match of Clapton CFC (the supporter-owned club formed by the 'Clapton Ultras' that had been watching Clapton FC). Not because I was massively interested in them, but just because I was free, it only cost £2 to get in, and it was just five minutes away from my house. I didn't know much about them, but I knew they wore red and white stripes, so I was a bit confused when they came onto the pitch wearing a red/yellow/purple/spots/stripes/stars monstrosity of a kit. I thought it was awful. When I read the programme I found out that the fans had voted on this design for their new away kit and it was based on the flag of the anti-fascists in the Spanish civil war. Worthy, maybe, but an embarrassing design, I thought. I now see it's become an overnight sensation - despite the fact there were only about 200 people at the match, they've sold over 5,000 shirts in the this week and had to suspend orders because they can't cope with the demand (mostly coming from Spain). https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/31/no-pasaran-clapton-cfc-anti-fascist-football-kit-proves-hit-in-spain

Many soccer clubs began thinking of themselves as quasi-lifestyle brands some time ago. Paris Saint-Germain aspires to becoming a purveyor of fashion. So does Juventus. But a slew of American teams playing in the minor leagues or even in amateur circuits, like Providence City, Forward Madison and the Kingston Stockade, have hurried past building a global soccer juggernaut and skipped ahead to the fashion part.Whereas PSG and its fellow powerhouses see streetwear as an avenue to tap into new markets—namely the non-fans—and eke out a little more revenue, some savvy American clubs have made the merchandising business central to their model. It’s the jerseys that makes the soccer possible, rather than the other way around.
