“Brought to you by Neal Heard, author of the first and most iconic book on trainer/sneaker culture: Trainers. First released in 2003 by Carlton Books. Yet again Neal brings his passion and enthusiasm to delve into another over-looked

cultural furrow. This time turning his magpie and historians eye to the wonderful world of Football Shirts.”

Football Shirts have a huge global resonance which transcends place and time. This open homage to football shirts, from a smitten lover: A Lover’s Guide to Football Shirts is a comprehensive, full colour 130 page release, packed full with detailed photographs of over 150 original and super rare shirts. From the iconic, to the sartorially gorgeous, super obscure or just dead interesting, you find it all inside.

Feature-heavy, with chapters exploring the crossover between popular culture and football shirts. This book details, explains and explores the links between

the team kits and how they fuse or collide with the worlds of music, fashion and politics. Opinions and ‘Top 5s’ are gleaned from various cultural denizens, including interviews with a football shirt design team, musicians and fashion designers. The brands, design and sponsorship history are all explored and detailed.

It’s a must have for anyone not only with an interest in Football shirts, but also those with a keen interest in history, design or popular culture.
