The Art of The Football Shirt

Summer is when football usually takes a break while brands present the sequel of new jerseys for the upcoming season. New uniforms, new motivations, new goals. A very fertile moment for style and design passionate. So who better than Neal Heard, author of A Lover's Guide to Football Shirts and nss sports friend, could organize an event which unites football passion and aesthetics' taste?

Neal is, in addition to the brand consultant, a true collector of the most iconic and unreachable uniforms. That's why he has organized The Art of the Football Shirt, an exhibition of more than 150 collector's items from around the world where you can taste the evolution of design applied to football, breathing for each of the (wonderful) jerseys the historical context In which it was conceived, the personal memories that inspire, the players symbol who have worn them.

But the exhibition is also the best way to see how fashion has absorbed the element of sportswear over the years as an extension of how to tell the brand. The virtuous encounter between art and fashion declined according to the rules of the world's most beautiful game. The event has a limited duration: Neal Heard's collection will be open only on July 26 and 27, at Old Truman Brewery in London. Not to be missed.
