Shirt Legend: Liverpool (home)

0
It's been a long time, folks. Almost a year has passed since our last Shirt Legend poll which aimed to find out what you thought was the best ever Scotland home shirt since 1964.

At the time of writing, 369 of you have registered your vote and the most favoured Scotland shirt so far is the one worn during the 1978 World Cup. Click to continue reading...

Kitman: The Tottenham shirt for Arsenal fans

Spurs visual gag #324668 You see what they did there? They took a Spurs shirt and they made a joke about Juande Ramos' side's lack of points. Very cruel. Quite funny. Click to continue reading...

Obscure Kits From British Football History #8

7
Tottenham Hotspur (away)
1977 - 1980

As the title suggests, this occasional series plucks the most obscure football kit designs from the history of the sport and puts them under the microscope for all to see (and indeed laugh at).

One trend we've noticed since we started this series is that many of these long-forgotten obscurities were originally made by Admiral. Click to continue reading...

Robinho Not Coming, But Chelsea Selling Robinho Shirts Anyway

3
According to Real Madrid, Robinho is going nowhere, and that includes Chelsea. Think it's safe to say that Real's failure to sign David Villa from Valencia has a lot to do with it. Real won't let Robinho go unless they have a suitable replacement. And so if Robinho fails to arrive at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea [. Click to continue reading...

Football Kits 2008/09: Who makes what

4
Before we press on with other matters, here's a final word on the subject of football kits.

Just before the current domestic football season started here in the UK, we carried out some research to see which kit manufacturers were the most popular among the 92 league clubs, and duly compared our findings to those of last year. Click to continue reading...

This year, we've back again for more of the same and we've got even more new designs to show you, so let's crack on and see what the twenty clubs of the Premier League will be wearing this season. Click to continue reading...

It's that time of the year when lots of new football kits are being released in readiness for the new season, and SPAOTP will be bringing them all to you very, very soon - never fear.

In the meantime, we'd like to conduct a short interactive survey on a not dissimilar topic - that of football kits. Click to continue reading...

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.

Shirts for 2007/08: The Final Verdict

2
You may remember between May and October last year, we gave you the chance to get an early look at some of the new shirts being released for the 2007/2008 season. Not only that but we also gave you the chance to tell us what you thought of them by providing an online vote in each case.

Well now the season's ended, we can tell you which shirts were the most popular amongst you, our fine and, may we say, rather smartly-dressed audience. Click to continue reading...

Obscure Kits From British Football History #6

1
Sunderland (home)
1981-1983

We've talked before about how some teams are synonymous with a particular look to the kit they wear. Many teams prefer a bold strip of just one colour (think Real Madrid and Liverpool), others like to wear hoops (a la Queens Park Rangers and Sporting Lisbon) while a distinct minority have adopted an interesting half-an-half appearance (such as Feyenoord and Blackburn Rovers).

Never let it be said that the universities of the world don't waste a single moment of their valuable academically-charged time. It's just come to light that a study by Durham University and the University of Plymouth has found that football teams wearing red shirts are more likely to be successful than those wearing any other colour.

Stick your 39th game... t-shirt from Football365

The gang at Football365 are just as up in arms as us here at Pies about the Premier League's ridiculous idea to play a 39th round of match abroad.

Kit Parade: Manchester United's 1950s kit

5
Manchester United donned a special 1950s-style shirt for yesterday's derby defeat to Manchester City in honour of the Munich air disaster. The club ditched its crest and the logo of sponsors AIG to remember the Busby Babes killed in the crash on February 6, 1958. The shirt - modelled here by Cristiano Ronaldo - is not going on sale to the public so any United fans wanting to recreate the look will have to buy retro or try the Fredi Kanoute approach and tape up the sponsor's logo.

A sign of kits to come?

It has recently come to our attention that Adidas, that bastion of sports apparel for so many years, has... well... how can we put it... adopted a corporate policy of giving free hallucinogenics to all its employees.

Crystal Palace (home)
1971/1972 season

When it comes to football kits, there are only so many different designs you can create which are simple, distinguished and can last the test of time. Whoever it was that decided black and white stripes were a winning combination must still be receiving royalties from Juventus, Newcastle United, Botafogo and many other clubs to this day.

Just when you thought the pinstripe was dead, here it is again in all its glory. (Actually this isn't the only shirt you'll see paying homage to the pinstripe - Umbro's new Northern Ireland away shirt is a tribute to the one worn in the 1982 World Cup and made by Adidas, curiously enough, but we digress.

For all you small detail fans it has another one of those funny stripes that goes part way up the back, just like United's current home shirt. Click to continue reading...

Yet more news from the business world following last week's story about QPR being taken over by two Formula 1 bosses. This week it's something altogether more sinister as UK bank Northern Rock loses more than half its value on the Stock.Exchange.

It's prompted many of its customers to queue up outside high street branches of the bank in the hope of withdrawing much of their money. Click to continue reading...
