Awaydays: Weekend Offender Celebrate The Retro Football Shirt
In celebration of the retro football shirt, our mates at Weekend Offender have introduced a range of graphic tees from classic Toon Army shirts worn by Alan Shearer to legendary early 90s shirts worn by some of Arsenal's finest.
When it comes to football shirts it's really all about the classic retro stuff from the 70s, 80s & 90s. In a world over-ruled with VAR, Pep Guardiola's boring build up play from the back & players rolling around on the floor like they've just been shot after a little tap on the leg. Whether we like to admit it or not the beautiful game has changed massively over the last 10 years with more focus than ever before on player stats, agent fees in the transfer window and managers getting sacked literally within months of taking over a club. As football fans it sometimes feels a bit cliche to talk about the good old days, but the reality is football was actually better before it became less Mike Bassett & more like a game of monopoly. We're talking about hard tackles that you could literally hear the crunch from the terraces, fast flowing attacking football & the steaming hot chips with gravy on a cold November evening in a Champions League clash. Thanks to these latest retro football shirt' t-shirts from Weekend Offender, you can now re-live all that football nostalgia in garment form.
