23. 2000s Kits: Baggy Fits, Long Sleeves and Popped Collars

Since episode 1, we have promised our listeners that we would discuss the apparel of the 2000s... and now here we are with an episode exclusively about the decade's kits! We start by discussing the wide-array of shirt manufacturers, sponsors and awkward fits that made the decade unique (3:00). What happened to the likes of Umbro, Admiral, Diadora and Errea? Why did we kill off the pointy collar? And is Cristiano Ronaldo the only player who still wants to wear long sleeves? Then we dive into some of our favorite kits of the decade (8:50). Did the Germans make the worst shirts during this period despite having 2 of the biggest manufacturers in their backyard? Which random American fast food chain sponsored Fulham? How did the Cameroonian FA flip a middle finger to Sepp Blatter with their 2002 release? And did Kappa spearhead slim fit innovation? All of this and much more on this episode of Football In The 2000s!Make sure to follow us on our Instagram (@football2000spod) and tell us of more topics you would like to hear.
