The National Football Shirt Collection

African nations shirts you say..... here’s one of our favourites from the collection, Cameroon 🇨🇲 classic adidas from the 1990 Italia World Cup Finals. The tournament where they endeared themselves to the world, oh and beat the holders in the opening game! #matchworn #adidas

Recently tweeted a couple of 80s red Scotland Umbro airtex shirts But Scotlands first away airtex shirt was in fact white -in 74 WC Finals- followed by this one with the famous @umbro “diamond stripes” additional sleeve taping. Only worn once v Norway in 1979 #airtex #umbro

Wonder why you tagged us Robbie...... is it because we have that very shirt in the collection 😁 A mighty fine addition it is too #swfc

Very saddened to hear of the passing of another of England’s 1966 heroes, Martin Peters Proud to post this 1970 WC match worn shirt in tribute to a such a fine player and real gentlemen. Another World Cup winning legend has left us 🙏🏼 Rest In Peace Martin Peters #RIP

Cardiff City..... Their classic 70s home shirt had the full diamond stripes but I think in 1978 the taping lost the outer stripe either side like Wolves, as these pictures show.

Another long sleeve airtex... a classic Wolverhampton Wanderers with its 3 central leaping Wolves & slightly different Umbro diamond stripe sleeve taping Airtex was @umbro performance fabric, developed from @Aertex material & purposely marketed with subtle name change #airtex

Long sleeve airtex never seemed to make sense but plenty of clubs were using them in early/mid 70s, including Aston Villa in a Wembley Final, the 1975 League Cup Final to be exact. No there’s nothing wrong with your eye sight, apologise for the blurred main pic #umbro #airtex

Scotland in @umbro Airtex at the 70s World Cup Finals: First wore Airtex fabric in West Germany 1974 -also the 1st with an Umbro double diamond manufacturers logo- & then in Argentina 1978 It gets better, these 2 were worn by Billy Bremner & Gordon McQueen 🤩 #matchworn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another one hit wonder and what a wonder it is! This one was prepared as an alternative away shirt for Italia’90 but had its only outing v Turkey in May ‘91 From @umbro “acid-house” design period & made famous when worn in video of England’s WC World in Motion song #Umbro 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This classic #adidas Republic of Ireland away shirt was actually only worn in 1 match by senior men’s team, the game that Ireland qualified for the 1994 World Cup in USA The #6 shirt was worn by Man Utd #mufc legend Roy Keane & swapped with N.Ireland’s Kevin Wilson #matchworn 🇮🇪
