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?

Why are these people discussing the clothes that employees wear at work?
You didn't include the origin of players surnames in the back of shirts which originated in baseball in the USA. I believe the Chicago White Sox were the first professional team to incorporate players names on their shirts.
Great stuff 😊
: I've found an good quality Adidas football jersey , a few yer back. It's red shirt, with a white Adidas bran. It, has a brons metal Fifa symbol of the owrld cup (5 cm , with 1974) at the bottom of the shirt. And a saint George cross. (red cross on white shield) That's all. I don't know where it's from , or what occasion it's for, I can't find any info anywhere., So if anyone has any ideas ?
Where to buy old jerseys anyone?
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.
The day I become Dictator od the Universe, the day every team reverts to real shirts: no Adidas, no Nike, no sponsors, no nothing, just real genuine shirts.
I never knew us Aussies started wearing numbers first, that's awesome to know
No one else caught the "Anakin Sand" reference colour? Great inclusion regardless!
Why are old football kit loose while the new ones are more od a tight fit?
@TifoFootball VO error @3:53 “Bolton Wanderers appearance in the 1953 World Cup”. I think meant to be 1953 FA Cup Final.
Great vid. Awesome artwork. Best content as ever.
Holla at cha boi if you’re looking for content editors or gfx or qc
It would be awesome if u could share the history of jersey names, the materials used, etc
Beautiful
Well done to Bolton for an appearance in the 1953 World Cup! (3:50)
Nice video… one thing – where do Bayern sell kits… genuinely, I don't think i've ever seen somebody wearing a Bayern shirt! Admittedly i'm in the UK, but you see plenty of Barca shirts, PSG or Real Madrid occasionally – i've even seen Dortmund shirts!
So Bolton Wanderers were in the 1953 World Cup?
@06:20… Is that Castolo from Master League lmao?
Castolo the Legend ,The Myth ,The Goat: more than 1000 goals, 8 Ballon d'ors , 5 champions league countless leagues and cups
I've got to say that jazz in the background was top class.
Didn't know Hungary was in Germany and Poland.
Football kits looked horrible in the early 90s
