01:36:06||Ep. 27Can you believe it?! It's finally here: The long-lost Episode 27 has finally been published, and it's a Tottenham Hotspur kit special with the Echoes of Glory podcast's Andrew Rockall. There's a recent intro, a two-year-old middle, and a six-month-old end, so don't switch off early. We apologise to all inconvenienced - particularly Andrew - and we hope it was worth waiting for. Blogger Jay - who chats to Andrew on here - is on the naughty step.Music: http://www.bensound.com32. Episode 32 - Fokohaela - Football Shirts with a Twist with Jason Lee

01:10:33||Ep. 29A new episode! Yes, Episode 27 is still missing - sorry - but here's Episode 29, and it's a real treat. Not only did MuseumofJerseys.com's Denis Hurley step in for blogger Jay to present, but he was joined by another kit expert - truly with knowledge most of us can only dream of - Doug Bierton from Classic Football Shirts (classicfootballshirts.co.uk). With CFS's rise and prominence in the football kit aficionado community ever-increasing, Denis discussed with Doug the industry, the love of shirts and kits, and its recognition in the Fabric of Football events in Manchester and London - perhaps even beyond.Fabric of Football London can be found at...Newspeak House133 Bethnal Green RoadLondonE2 7DGApril 26th - 11.00am-6.00pmApril 27th - 11.00am-9.00pmApril 28th- 10.00am-9.00pmApril 29th- 10.00am-7.00pmMusic: http://www.bensound.com28. Episode 28 - FC St. Pauli Kit Special, with Shawn from Fell In Love With A Girl
01:04:52||Ep. 28Yes, Episode 28, not 27 - see below - but In this half-a-year-old recording - apologies - DesignFootball.com blogger Jay chatted to Shawn from the St. Pauli podcast, Fell in Love with a Girl. Politically emotive, the shirts of St Pauli have become iconic in their colouring and connotations, as the German side's cult appeal ever-widens. Discussing the kit history and the controversy of the current wardrobe, as well as the association with Under Armour, Shawn provided an education on kits, as well as thought-provoking social commentary. It's an oldie, but, we think, a goodie.NB: The observant amongst subscribers and occasional listeners will have noticed Episode 27 is missing. It will appear in due course, with an explanation for its tardiness. Until then, please accept our apologies for its omission in the order.Music: http://www.bensound.com26. Episode 26 - The Kits of Olympique de Marseille, with Mohammed Ali
55:19||Ep. 26Recorded at the end of the 2016-17 season, DF resident blogger Jay is joined by French football freelance journalist Mohammed Ali to take on the contentious subject of Olympique de Marseille's now current kits - the last by adidas - and the transition to Puma from 2018-19 onwards. Giving a fans' take on both the history and the change, this podcast takes on new relevance with the leaks of the Puma designs starting to appear, and l'OM's newly added Orange sponsor affecting this season's understated approach.Music: http://www.bensound.comEpisode 25 - The Retro Football Shirt and Kit Industry, with John Devlin
01:11:52|Blogger Jay is joined by friend of the podcast John Devlin to discuss the ever-growing sub-industry of retro kits. Often overlooked as meaningless nostalgia, the market is nonetheless huge and worth the time Jay and John spend discussing the applicable responsibilities of the manufacturers-cum-licensees. Not only this, but the sector has several dark sides, where integrity is bypassed in pursuit of the profits that are there to be made...
