When Shorts Were Short S3 E14 - Paul McParlan (Classic Kits 1954-92)
Manage episode 402163320 series 2838257
When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, 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.
Author Paul McParlan selects his three classic kits from the 1954-92 era.
You can find Paul's book here 'The Forgotten Champions: Everton's Last Title' and elsewhere online and of course, in all good bookshops.
