Neal Heard clearly has a passion for football kits and, as a result, he has a world-class collection. There’s never been a world-class text to complement his collection, but that changes with his book entitled The Football Shirts Book: The Connoisseur’s Guide.
His love for the beautiful game comes through loud and clear in an entertaining read that is jam-packed with amazing photos. It all starts with the history of his collection and the personal connection that he has with the game.
Every shirt has a story and there are plenty of stories here. The focus is on the unique and you will find unique designs, kit companies, sponsors, and even teams. Our favorite happens to be the New York Cosmos shirt from 1981-84.
This book may be about football shirts, but it’s much more than that. The shirts are symbols that are part of the world’s greatest game: they are much more than the fabric they are made of.
