How did the football shirt become a street-style staple? Designer Hattie Crowther joins Jack and Kimberley to explore why this once pitch-only piece is now a global wardrobe essential, even for non-football fans. Hattie shares how she tells stories through her football shirt-inspired designs, and reveals how iconic kits often draw influence from a wide range of sources—from Oasis’s Noel Gallagher to the Civil Rights Movement. The conversation also dives into the rise of thrifting and how the increasingly genderless football shirt is helping football style feel more inclusive.Watch the show on PUMA’s YouTubeFollow PUMA on InstagramFollow PUMA's Forever.Better. journey on foreverbetter.comBecause there's only one Forever... let's make it Better.Who Gives A Shirt is a FOREVER.

Dress like your Heroes
Why do fans wear football shirts? Jack and Kimberley speak to die-hard Man City fan and City Matters representative Angela Worrall about the rollercoaster of supporting a football team and what her collection of football shirts mean to her. Together, they trace the origins of fan jerseys back to a surprising source: a Leicester-based company that once made underwear for nuns. Yes, you read that right. Along the way, they uncover how football shirts help build a sense of identity and community—on the pitch, in the stands, and even while on holiday.
