This episode was originally a Patreon bonus show back in Oct '21.

My first Classic Kits guest is Adam Riches, author of Football’s Comic Book Heroes, a comprehensive look at UK football comic strips, from their beginning in the early 20thcentury and taking in the 54-92 period that we cover. And Adam has chosen several strips plus his favourite ever football comic strip kit, no easy thing when you factor in many of these strips were black and white.

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.
