The Sergio Tacchini Armando track top takes us straight back to the 1970s with an era of big collars & style driven sportswear.
The retro revolution of sportswear as we know it today really started back in the 1970s. As the mid 1970s merged into the late 1970s sportswear styles were changing. Traditional sportswear started to become more style driven thanks to revolutionary designers like Sergio Tacchini & Pierluigi Rolando who spear headed
Fila's prestigious White Line from its origins in 1974. Sportswear was no longer just for sports, as Hollywood sweet hearts Farah Fawcett & Lee Majors went running together kitted out head to toe in sportswear in 1977 the world took note. Style driven sportswear took influences from the mid to late 70s trends with the big collars of the coke fuelled disco clubs of Brooklyn & Manhattan. Classic Admiral football shirts from the late 70s also featured the big collar style with the top flight footballers looking more like they were going to bust out the funky chicken than play football. The classic 70s collar style is now brought back to life courtesy of our good friends at Sergio Tacchini with this 70s inspired Armando track top.
