Football kit culture has become big business over the past few years. It’s estimated that the top ten clubs sold over 20 million shirts in 2021 between them. These days wearing a football shirt is not just about representing your club, it's about style.
But where do football kits originate? Was there a time before kits? How have they changed?
David Goldblatt explores. Henry Cooke illustrates.

From 1927-1929 in the Scottish Football League the management committee introduced a bizarre rule stating that clubs should wear white shorts when at home, black when playing away. It was so unpopular with clubs and fans and even influential clubs flouted very openly the ruling so much the ruling was rescinded in the SFL's AGM in 1929.

Fun fact: The first names on the back of kits came, just as numbers on the back (edit: was corrected, the numbers are from 🇦🇺 pre-WW1), from the US also, but from the North American Soccer League in the 1970s, which folded in the 80s. That league had a history of buying tons of players from abroad, so having the names of the players on the shirt would help identify the players, especially international ones.

@aldobonaso3481 2 года назад

But numbers on the backs of the kits first appeared in Australia, not the USA... 3:11 Australia pre first world war, then USA in the 1920's...just so you know, the first world war was in fact before the 1920's 😅

@dminalba 2 года назад

In September 1979 Scotland became the first international team to wear names on the player's shirts when they played Peru in a friendly at Hampden Park. The idea was the brainchild of the SFA's secretary at the time Ernie Walker after he spent the previous summer in the USA and attended some NASL matches. He thought the names on shirts would be a good idea. However it didn't last on Scotland shirts too long and the idea was scrapped in 1981. However Ernie Walker did say that names on shirts will be commonplace in 20 years. That foresight was off by just over 10 years as teams in Euro 92 wore names on their shirts and numbers on front as well, also the Premier League teams started to wear names from the 92/93 season

It's a shame polka dots never caught on, but that also makes Heerenveen's kit so lovable imo. They've got little red hearts all over the shirt and crest that make them so iconic and recognizable. It's nice to see kits like those stick around in top flight football, and in the Eredivisie no less.

@tulyar57 2 года назад

Originally, knee lengthed shorts, described as 'knickers' (knickerbockers) were worn and available in only three colours, white, navy and black. Clubs wearing dark shirts opted for white, teams with light shirts opted for navy or black and teams wearing stripes wore either. It wasn't until the sixties when Revie used all white for Leeds (aping Real Madrid) and Shankly followed suit at Liverpool with all red. Chelsea chose blue shorts and slowly other clubs followed suit.

@romiarkan450 2 года назад

I wish an association would mandate that clubs retain their kits for more than a season, therefore making them a worthwhile purchase for fans as well as making sure the design teams actually use some deliberation. Should there be any changes in sponsorships, clubs must retain the same kit design but with the new sponsors plastered on until they're allowed to release new designs. If clubs think it might make old kits purchased by fans obsolete, just release plain versions of the kits, which usually look more palatable because of the lack of corporate shills on them. The only exception to this rule is when clubs change their kit suppliers on unprecedented circumstances.

@pabloski10k 2 года назад
