NIKE TIEMPO LEGEND 10 AND UNITED PACK
£230 nike.com
Fresh colour updates for the Air Zoom Mercurial, Phantom Luna and Phantom GX, plus a fully updated design: the Tiempo Legend 10. It’s the lightest Tiempo ever and also has a ‘grippy’ feel, to use the technical term, to improve your touch. The stunning gradient sunrise tones – inspired by a “new dawn” sunrise – will adorn players’ feet at this summer’s Women’s World Cup. Nice.
ADMIRAL GOOD FORM FOOTBALL T-SHIRT
£45 admiralsportinggoods.com A legendary sporting brand perfecting the art of simplicity. Above is the tee’s reverse, with a smaller black-and-white version on the front. Three colours and some Bauhaus-style shapes are all Admiral have used to illustrate what looks like a lovely clip down the channel. These tees are crafted from substantial 220gsm heavy cotton and the sleeves have been ‘set in’ for smooth comfort.
MARCUS REED SUBEAUTIES ART SERIES
From £20 marcusreed.bigcartel.com Subeauties is an illustrated goal series, inspired by old school table football, from designer Marcus Reed. The corner routine that led to Bruno Guimaraes’ first Premier League strike, via a backwards karate kick at Southampton, is one of dozens of goals immortalised as prints.

Up close you’ll spot a subtle diagonal print across the crisp white fabric of these shirts. Utter class. ¡Hala Madrid!
HUMMEL 100-YEAR ANNIVERSARY DENMARK KIT
From £64 landsholds shoppen.dk
To celebrate turning 100, legendary Danish sportswear brand Hummel have shared quite the present: a remake of their iconic 1986 away kit. The classic template has also been used for Southampton, Brondby and Saint-Etienne (away) kits this season, each incorporating the respective clubs’ traditional colours. Proper Danish dynamite.
CARLISLE 2023-24 KIT
From £45 carlisleunited.co.uk
Umbro have hit a rich vein of form this. Carlisle (and bus seat) fans will be falling over each other to bolster their collections with this strip that pays homage to the Cumbrians’ 1993-95 garms, originally made by ‘Matchwinner’. There is slight disgruntlement among fans that the shorts are blue rather than the 1993 white, but that’s surely only a t
