From Drake in pink to ‘Blokecore’: How football shirts became fashionable
SHARE

Football shirts have evolved from being just an item of clothing for players and fans to wear during matches to becoming a mainstream fashion statement and a popular choice at music festivals. The shift towards football shirts becoming a fashion staple can be traced back to several key moments in the 2010s.

One such moment was when Canadian music artist Drake donned the pink away shirt of Italian club Juventus during the 2015-16 season, sparking a frenzy among his fans. The Nigeria kit for the 2018 World Cup finals also played a significant role in popularizing football shirts beyond the pitch. Designed as a tribute to Nigeria’s debut in the 1994 World Cup, the vibrant and bold design symbolized the country’s rich history and emerging ‘Naija’ culture.

Celebrities like Wizkid and Skepta embraced the Nigeria kit, further propelling its popularity. At the same time, England’s success in the 2018 World Cup and Paris Saint-Germain’s collaboration with Nike’s Jordan Brand added to the mainstream appeal of football shirts. The collaboration with PSG marked a period when the intersection of fashion and football became more pronounced.

Classic Football Shirts, a prominent player in the industry, has witnessed the evolution of football shirts from a niche collector’s item to a global phenomenon. The company, which started in 2006, now boasts over 1.3 million Instagram followers and expects revenues exceeding $50 million in 2024. With strategic investments from high-profile individuals like Rob McElhenney and Alex Morgan, Classic Football Shirts is at the forefront of the booming market.

As the demand for authentic retro jerseys grows, so does the counterfeit market. Fakes are becoming more prevalent, with resellers capitalizing on the popularity of football shirts. Independent retailers like Sound Trout have to be vigilant when sourcing shirts to ensure authenticity. Classic Football Shirts has a rigorous authentication process in place to combat the influx of counterfeit products.

The international appeal of football shirts has led to the rise of subcultures, with fans worldwide showing interest in specific eras and players. The 1990s remain a golden era for shirt collectors, with iconic players like David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo’s jerseys being among the most sought after. The bold designs and baggy styles of the ’90s continue to captivate younger generations, making them a timeless fashion statement.

Overall, football shirts have transcended their original purpose and have become a symbol of cultural significance and style. The fusion of football and fashion has created a vibrant and diverse industry that continues to evolve with each passing year.
