When football jerseys changed forever

Football jerseys are workwear! Like doctors' coats or firefighters' suits. Footballers wear them while they work. Then again: Why do kids spend their last euro, pound or dollar on a piece of cloth? And why do jersey designs change each year? A history of the football jersey. And why Kevin Keegan didn't mind the ridicule. What's your favorite jersey ever? Tell us in the comments...

Pirelli are the most iconic and aesthetically pleasing kit sponsor of all time, I can't imagine an Inter kit without it nowadays

If you have BOTH Man U and a Liverpool jersey in your closet, you clearly can’t be trusted.

5:57 That's actually Juventus, not Palermo. Juve also started out in pink.

Came for the historic pink HSV kit with Keegan and Magath, loved the respect for Uwe Seeler aswell ☺️

I expected the article mentioned another game changer moment in football jersey, in UEFA euro cup 2000 Italy national team played with a new jersey calle Kombat 2000... it was the first elasticated jersey that wrapped player body, since that kind of texture gave to referee immediate vision of a holding by opponent, and the attacker was less penalyzed by that kind of fault it became immeditely a standard, and nowdays all the shirts are made of body shape elasticated material.

Gunter Netzer - what a player. After Cruyff, he was the greatest player of the 70's for me.

Thank you for this fantastic bit of art. One of the best videos I've seen on YT in a long time!

One thing I hate about national team shirts is the numbers on the front of the side of the shirts. It just tampers with the design. Names on the back just adds too much details. The classic shirts were prior 1990.

I love retro shirts, just the fucking number and symbol of the team. Simple.

Glad to see my hometown team represented in this video. Middle column @9:02 is the San Jose Clash (Now San Jose Earthquakes)
