The whole kit and caboodle

from Not by the Playbook · host BBC World Service

This week we are focusing on football fashion and those using jerseys and kits to create clothing that looks fabulous on the field and fantastic on the fashion runways. Everything you want to know about how you elevate your team’s outfit.Christian Jeffery used to design football shirts for Adidas football but has since turned his very talented hand to a more artistic take on team jerseys. He talks us through his process of taking standard football shirts and making them bespoke pieces of fashion that have led to exhibitions of his work and fans from the very top of the footballing world. His designs are striking and intricate and speak to a deeper relationship between the club and the communities they represent. Former PSV Eindhoven midfielder Funso Ojo can still be seen doing his thing on the pitch each week in the English lower leagues, but as his career comes towards an end, he is eyeing up a new career. Inspired by his wife Julie, the two have set up a clothing company "Rose Ojo" that breathes new life into people’s old football shirts. Julie, who has a background in fashion, and Fuso, who is learning how to sew, have now got a thriving business upcycling clothes and making football fashion fabulous.It's all about getting your kit off with Robbie Manson. The New Zealand Olympic rower was combining competing in Paris with making a living tastefully taking his kit off. He made headlines when his “Only Fans” page became popular. The site which allows people to subscribe for personal adult content has made Robbie more money than his professional athletic career ever has. He discussed the moral and practical elements of being an athlete and an adult content creator.PHOTO: Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min standing alongside Christian Jeffery whilst holding one of Christian’s Tottenham kit designs.
