Book synopsis

At last, a chance for football fans of a certain vintage to sigh over the striking, muddy simplicity of some proper footy kits. Many fans still harbour an unfading love for their clubs' classic shirts, as sported by their childhood heroes. And - whisper it - even for some of their rivals' timelessly classy (and less well-considered) gear. The Golden Age of Kits stretches from the 1960s' plain cotton with round collars via the bold new designs of the 1970s - enter the Admiral logo, Umbro diamonds and Adidas stripes - and selectively on through the 1980s. Remember Hummel testcard kits? There were even some crackers in the early days of the Premier League. Featuring lush photography, illustrations by vintage kitmeister John 'True Colours' Devlin and all the kit-happy stories, football stickers and vintage memorabilia that you'd expect, Shirt Tales & Short Stories whisks you back to the lost world of classic football kits.
