JUVENTUS 2023-24 HOME KIT
£80
adidas.co.uk
Playing by the rules isn't really in the Juve DNA, is it? Their execution of 'stripes' here is loose at best. Adidas claim that the fuzzy lines are a deliberate print effect designed to replicate the fur of a zebra. They're also calling that yellow trim 'bold gold'. None of it should work, and yet it kind of... does?
DIRE STRAITS X NEWCASTLE UNITED VINYL ART
tolhurstvinylart.com
£59.99
What you're looking at here is Newcastle United's club badge from the 1980s cut into an original 7" record of Local Hero by Dire Straits. Local Hero is played before every kick-off at St. James' Park, so this is hitting music, nostalgia and football all at once in a strong bid for supporters' credit card details. There are dozens of other club equivalents available and, yes, they can do requests.
1988-90 MAN UNITED X ORIGINALS COLLECTION
adidas.co.uk Shirt
£80 Jacket £130
Three-striped catnip for Manchester United fans, Adidas' nostalgic capsule collection comprises a dozen pieces inspired by the start of the Fergie era... the bit where he started winning trophies, at least. At the heart of it are like-for-like remakes of the club's third jersey (modelled by frequent Fergie hairdryer victim Lee Sharpe) and the bench jacket sported by Fergie teacher's pet, Denis Irwin.
