Before we press on with other matters, here's a final word on the subject of football kits.

Bayern Munich’s secret weapon for winning the Champions League

11
Jurgen Klinsmann's vision for Bayern Munich will puzzle fans, underwhelm opponents (they underestimate the light show at their own peril) and make reporters sit up and look around uncomfortably. In a letter to the Bayern fans, Klinsmann wrote: 'FC Bayern is unique on this planet. Many clubs have been and gone on the international scene in [. Click to continue reading...

A Maiden Is Sacrificed, a Football Kit Is Born

Obscure Kits From British Football History #7

3
Aberdeen (home)
1976-1979

When you go into business as a football kit manufacturer, the chances are you'll produce some designs that prove very popular with the supporters and some that will turn out to be absolute stinkers. No maker of football kits can ever claim to have hit the bullseye with every design, but if they at least come up with something original, they'll at least have achieved something.

Football kits and a lack of club identity
