They Think Kits All Over - The Football Shirt Show
Episode 9: Classic 80s Trefoil kits, Napoli add another kit, BVB's fan-led designs and more...
Welcome to the ninth episode of the Kit Mag Podcast. This week, Alex returns to the hotseat as Rob, Adrian and Tom make up a full-strength pod squad. The boys are joined by vintage adidas collector James (Twitter: The TrefoilMan) to discuss his top five trefoil shirts which includes both club and country classics. We also cover Barcelona and Napoli's differing approach to shirt releases, the results of the BVB 23/24 home shirt design competition, Empoli's Kappa kit history, Schalke's political stand on their sponsor and a number of other hot topics from this week.
Pod focus - Top Five Classic 80s Trefoil Shirts
James talks about his favourite classic adidas shirts containing the iconic trefoil design, from the era of big hair and small shorts. We cover kits including Battiston and Schumacher, a niche 1986 World Cup strip, a controversial but well-loved template and a Maradona-worn icon.
Listen out as Rob and Tom face off over a lineup-based quiz question featuring teams from a classic match.
