My latest Classic Kits minisode guest is Mike Donovan, author of Football's Braveheart: The Authorised Biography of Dave Mackay. Mike has gone with several choices from the early sixties, the period when he fell in love with football and actually saw his kit choices live.


When Shorts Were Short only concerns itself with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast will only cover football from 1954, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, a design that was widespread within English football by the mid-fifties, to 1992 when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.
