Random Daily Footie Shirt #2: VFB Lübeck retro Home. My love of German Fussball knows no bounds, but there are two clubs very close to my heart. The kings of Schleswig- Holstein are one. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies #vfblübeck #marzipan Image
Random Footie Shirt #3: Vietnam Home 2018 (Marketfake). Memories of a great holiday during Asia Youth Games, so no sadly league games. Made do with a top. Vietnam made it through to Semis amidst wild scenes. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #4: Shamrock Rovers Away 2009/10. A shirt with a poignant memory. It was my much-missed mate Chocky's, who sadly passed away in 2017. He had a massive footie shirt collection which was distributed amongst his pals at the wake. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #5: Zambia Home 2016. Another holiday purchase. We briefly transited through Livingstone but the airport gift shop was well stocked, although African sizing means despite being 2XL it's been barely worn! #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #6: Borussia Dortmund Champs Lge H- 2012/3. My other German love. This one holds some terrific memories, incl. the day of the CL final at Wembley. Didnt get a ticket for the game, but the day in London was a drunken joy... More #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #7: Korea Republic 2006. Whilst on the subject of World Cup trips on the Palace shirt thread: Here's one I bought @suetext70 to commemorate her girls trip to Leipzig for Korea Rep v France... what goes on tour etc. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #8: Fortaleza 2013/4. A sequel to the Palace shirt #7 World Cup story yesterday, bought that same day. Hey, it's Red and Blue and I was pissed. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #8: Malaga away 2002/03. A present from my Palace mate Mickus, who lives in Andalucia. My adopted Spanish team. Been my pleasure to join the Guiri Army on several occasions. More...
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #10: Ghana Away 2014. A month since the last Palace goal scored by Jordan Ayew. Dug this out in his honour. Also the shirt I was wearing when I scored a hole-in-one during my first attempt at FootGolf. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #11: San Lorenzo 2013/14. Couldn't go to Buenos Aires and not pick up a shirt for the Pope's favourite team. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #12: Crusaders 2004. A one-off shirt for Gavin Arthur Testimonial v Palace. A curious beast this, no Club Crest and a different design to Cru's regular shirt that season. My first visit to Belfast and what a fine city it is! #kitsoutforthelads #andladies #cpfc Image
Random Footie Shirt #13: England Third 1988. An England oddity - this shirt was apparently never worn by the Senior side in a game. Looks better in the photo than up close, I have no memory of buying it or, like the team, ever wearing it myself. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #14: Angola Home 2006. There was a wonderful pop-up shop near Munich's City Hall that sold every shirt for the teams at 2006 World Cup. Add in the fact I was drunk for nearly all of it equals some very strange purchases. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #15: Barbados Home 2000/01. A Sunny Shirt for a Sunny Day. Another product my questionable habit of buying a shirt from a Country I visit where I don't get to see a game whilst there. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #16: VFL Wolfsburg 2015/16. Not a team I'm a particular fan of, but this shirt brings back great memories of German Supercup 2015 and a fantastic weekend in Berlin as a guest of Fox Sports and the Bundesliga. More...
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie Shirt #17: Poland 1997 (Marketfake). I can't find a Polish international shirt that looks even vaguely like this, but it was bought at Chorzow stadium at my first England away game. An eye-opening trip in so many ways. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #18: Mexico 2002/3. "Chiquitibum a la bim bom ba, chiquitiboom a la bim bom ba, a la bio, a la bao, a la bim bom ba, Meciquo Meciquo, Rah rah rah!!!" - The chant of the 2006 World Cup. Image
Random Footie Shirt #19: Hamburg SV Home 2015/16. A squad signed shirt donated by @MarcOllington for Sue and my London Marathon fundraising. This shirt will be auctioned once we restart our fundraising - if you like it keep an eye out on the Socials #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #20: Dundee Home 1996/98. Seeing as they've been in the news a bit recently, here's a shirt from the bargain bin of Greaves Sports on Sauchiehall Street. A wallet-excorating shop way too close to my Glasgow office! #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #21: Northern Spirit Home 2003/04. The club was very briefly owned by Mark Goldberg concurrently with Palace. Think Glasgow Rangers stepped in after, but the time I saw them, they were on the point of folding completely. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #22: San Luis Home 2002/03. There was this little shop on the Cancun strip with a myriad of cheap shirts. My Holiday budget got totally blown in there. Some more examples from that trip/shop to come soon. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #23: Convoy Sun Hei Home 2007/08. The club (under their former name: Golden) that played England in Euro 96 prep, where Gazza's infamous visit to the HK Dentist Chair happened. I visited 12 years later for a Cup Semi at Mong Kok #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #24: C.D. Olimpia 2004/5. One of my favourites, this Honduran club shirt was bought for me by @BVBBobUK on his Americas trip. Odd sizing means it doesnt even cover my belly button, despite fitting in all other ways, so still mint. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #25: Latvia Home 2003 (Marketfake). One from my mate @WagsAndy stag in Riga. I bought the No.11 as Palace had recently had a Latvian international winger at the time called Andrej Rubens. There was no Keppers shirts for Kolinko. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #26: Bromley Home 1991/93 On St George's Day, here's the only other English Club shirt I own (until @beckenhamtownfc start selling shirts - hint!). This shirt is matchworn from 1993 Kent Senior Cup Final. More...
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #27: Colibríes de Morelos Home 2002/03. A club that barely lasted a year. They hold the record for least history in Mexican Primera: 6 months in 2003 before getting relegated and folding. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Another example from the Cancun shirt shop spending spree, I can only guess that this must have been very cheap!
The story of this club makes for sorry reading - a salutary tale in the dangers of franchising. I guess the shirt is probably quite rare, these days. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colibr%C3…
Random Footie shirt #28: SC Bastia 2000/01. Memories of a fine weekend with @pafster, for a hastily arranged Palace friendly back in March 2001. We drove thru the night to catch a flight from Paris having only learned of the game 24 hours before ko. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #29: Deportivo Quito 2004/05. Another from @BVBBobUK Americas trip. I love this shirt so much. When I lost all the weight, it was the only red & blue one that fitted me. Thus saw a lot of 5-a-side action. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #30: Glentoran Away 2003/04. Picked this up for a song when Palace played there in a 2004 friendly. Was the day that Col Gadaffi's interest in buying Palace news broke. Spent the day getting chased around by Sky News reporters. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #31: Anderlecht Home 1998/99. On the day the band shirts thread ends, here's the footie shirt that I used to love to wear at gigs. So many gig and footie stories bound up in this shirt, I could be here all day. More... #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #32: Kocaelispor (Marketfake). My Turkish favourites. From European footie in 90/00s, the fall of this team is quite scary. Superlig in 2009 they dropped 4 tiers in 5 seasons. Still look out for them though. More... #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #33: Bayern Munich 2015/16. Bowing to pressure here, as I said I wasn't going to show this one. A gift from my German SuperCup trip (see #16 ). The only shirt I have with my own name on and, of all clubs, it has to be this one. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #34: Crystal Palace Baltimore 2008/09. Hang on a damn minute! You said you'd paused doing #cpfc shirts?

Yup, clue's in the name.

But it's the exact same shirt?

Well yes, but no sponsorshio and it was bought at a USL game.

#kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #35: Borussia Dortmund H 2002/03. My first BVB shirt bought for the princely sum of 10€ in the fan shop on Westenhellweg in Dortmund Centrum.Dunno what was going on with the running man logo on the sleeve. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #36: IFK Gotheburg Away 1997/98. Inspired by @davelewis22 FB post today. This shirt was bought at Palace's mid-season friendly at their Ullevi. Well, I was hardly going to get a blue & white striped home shirt! #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #37: Glasgow Rangers Home 1997/9. When I worked in Glasgow most of my mates there were Rangers fans, so I went to a few games home and away in the Gazza/McCoist era. Didn't go down too well with my Catholic missus. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #38: Celtic H 1999/01. Yesterday was Star Wars Day, today The Missus Strikes Back 'forcing' me to bring balance to the thread with this one. Sorry, I know it won't go down well with a fair few of my followers - don't @ me. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #39. Football Kingz 2003/04. (Fan shirt). By the time I got to see New Zealand's A-League team, they were on the point of extinction. This was being sold as a replica shirt but is missing the white sleeves of their actual shirt. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #40: Catherine Wheel FC Home early 1980s. Halfway mark in 'Around the World in 80 Shirts' thread finds us back very close to home. My Croydon Sunday League Club shirt. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #41: England H 1990/91. I've got quite a few England shirts to get thru, so from now on it's #EnglandFriday. Starting with my favourite home shirt immortalised at Italia 90. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #42: FC Tirol Innsbruck 1995/7. Another from the Greaves Sports bargain bucket, bought solely because Palace had just signed Matt Svensson from them. Loving the badge, a football rolling down a mountain! #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #43: Chile H 2014. The missus and I loved our time at the World Cup in 2014. Watching the Brazil v Chile in a bar in Cuiaba was a surreal experience. Shirt was a 2 for £10 clearance deal bought with #10. More... #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #44: Marseille c2000 (Fan shirt). A souvenir from a drunken booze cruise to Calais, I'd soaked my T-shirt in beer on the ferry over, so needed something dry to wear. It cost about two quid, if I remember correctly. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #45: Perth Glory H 2007/8. The last overseas game I saw was at the East Perth Oval back in February, although this shirt is from our first trip there. Ex-Palace Centre Half, Tony Popovic is their manager now. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #46. Sligo Rovers A 2006/07. A great town for an overnighter. The club shop was having a clearance sale the day I was there. Picked up this beaut, for @BVBBobUK and I, very cheaply indeed. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #47: Real Betis A 2001/02. In 2002 #cpfc played Betis in a post season Euro Communities Tourny in Seville. So many great memories: from 'Party in the Park' to stealing SJ 's programme to Sleepless in Seville. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #48. England c1997 (Training). It's #EnglandFriday again, this isn't one you saw very much, even back in the day. Too much like a classic #cpfc shirt for many, maybe? An essential purchase for me, though. Also came in Navy Blue. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #49: Union Berlin H 1966 (retro). Barely resisting the urge to post another BVB shirt on Revierderby Day, here's one from another Bundesliga team I have a soft spot for. May they go well against the Lederhosen tomorrow. More... #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #50: Brazil H (Marketfake). The big 5-0, but I have no Hawaiian soccer shirts, so it's possibly the most iconic in football instead. Not the best example granted, but at 3 for £10 from a Fortaleza street vendor, a real bargain. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #51: Orlando City H 2017/18. My latest acquisition & ebay lockdown bargain. The detailing on this shirt is proper lovely. The MLS team closest to my heart and nearest to our favourite holiday destination: Cocoa Beach. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #52: Italy A c1970 (Retro). When I was very young, I had a love of Italian Football fostered by the Anglo-Italian Cup and the 1970 World Cup. When retro shirts became a thing years later, I bought this as some sort of tribute. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #53: Shanghai Shenhua H 2008/9. The start of tge season happily co-incided with an overnight layover in that city. At HT, old highlights showed Fan Zhiyi lifting a Cup, I got very excited to the utter astonishment of the locals. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #54: Adelaide United H 2007/8. Although it was close season when we were in Aus. in 2008. 'Laidy were playing in Asian Champs Lge. So I flew off on my own for an overnighter from Sydney. All that for a 0-0! #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #55: England H 1997/99. It's #EnglandFriday and for most memories of the '98 World Cup in France. For me, it's warm-up tourny with @davelewis22 in Morocco as I didn't get lucky in the WC ticket ballot. A strange, eye-opening trip.
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #56: Barcelona H 1984/88. Had the shock of me life whilst identifying the seasons this shirt was worn. They go for over £200 on ebay... now just gotta remember my damn login!
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #57: Togo H 2006. One of my absolute faves, not least because of the Eagle details, embroidered on the left and also the shadow print on the lower part of the shirt. If this was a Palace away shirt I would be very happy. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #58: Sampdoria H 1992. Fell in love with this shirt and the team when Palace played a pre-season tourny in the Italian Alps back in 1990. Palace bear them on pens - Rudi Hedman scored the winner & Lombardo was an unused Samp sub. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #59: Costa Rica H 2004. Another of @BVBBobUK purchases on my behalf. A really nice quality shirt, that got a good 'airing' out at the 2006 World Cup. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #60: Fenerbahçe H (Marketfake). A present from my Turkish mate, Kaan. He was buying me a Kocaelispor shirt in Izmit Market at the time, but thought I might like this one too!
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #61: Holland A 1998/00. I'd like to tell you the story behind this shirt, except I have absolutely no memory of buying it, being given it or indeed ever wearing it. Get Van der Valk on the case. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #62: England H 2005/07. It's #EnglandFriday and here's our 2006 World Cup shirt. I won this in an online competition and is the most recent England Shirt in my collection. Certainly haven't liked any of the Nike ones enough. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #63: Australia H 2003/04: In honour of one of my Favourite Aussies: Kiki Steegstra who is 40 today. Happy Birthday Hun, not sure whether you even like Footie (sorry, Soccer to you) but this one's for you! #kiki40 #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #64: Fiorentina H 1991/92. Not quite the version of the shirt I was after. I wanted the plainer, more classic shirt design they wore against #cpfc in '90 Barretti Tourny. Before the days of ebay etc, beggars couldn't be choosers #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #65: Republic of Ireland A 1997. One from the missus again, this shirt is described as 'infamous' on the 'net... I'm guessing it's nothing to do with sponorship on an Int'l shirt! Rare too, these fetch serious wonga on ebay. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #66: Hertha Berlin H 2003/04 Special Edition. The slogan underneath the Sponsor makes this a one-off, also meant it was being sold off cheaply on my first visit to the Olympiastadion - a 6-2 defeat for BVB. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #67: USA A 1990. The ubiquitous Italia 1990 adidas design. @suetext70 went to Florida that summer and bought me back this, after trying loads of sports shops, who hadn't even heard of Soccer, let alone the World Cup. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #68: San Lorenzo A 2013/14. A 2 for 1 deal with #11 was a real blessing covering the years that the Pope's own team won both their domestic championship and the Copa Libertadores. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #69 (dudes): England Away 1999/2001. It's #EnglandFriday and time for my favourite Three Lions Away shirt. This number wore more like a polo shirt and I pretty much lived in it for most of the early 00's. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #70: Atalante: 2002/03. A shirt sponsor for our times! Another from the Cancun soccer store, the attraction is obvious. Oddly, some years later, the club moved their franchise to that very resort. Must go back for a game one day. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #71: New Zealand H 2003/04. From the Land of the Long White Cloud, it's their National Long White Soccer Shirt. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #72: Uruguay H 2005 (Marketfake). The last one from @BVBBobUK tour of South America. He was trying to get me a Gonzalo Sorondo number, who was playing for Palace at the time, but #9 was the only option. Very happy with it, though. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie Shirt #73: Barcelona H 1998/99. This kit appeared to evolve during the season, with various subtle changes to the sleeve, cuffs and collar. Absolutely no idea why, I'd be grateful for any enlightenment. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #74: Slovakia H 1998/2000. Don't remember buying this, but do recall wearing it when their U17 team played Palace kids at Copers Cope years later. The double-takes I got from the Slovakian players & coaches were priceless! #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #75: Kocaelispor H c.2005 (Marketfake). Second time around for my Turkish boys, this shirt also incorporates the Gulşan area code as a squad number. Always remember "Green & Black Lightning will '*freak you out'!" #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #76: England H 2001/03. It's the final #EnglandFriday on the day Euro 2020 was due to start. Tis is the shirt that England wore in the 5-1 won over Germany in Munich. The best England game that I went to. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #77: Rangers A 2000/01. Second attempt at a Footie/Music crossover (Arthur Numan being their Dutch centre half then). Second fail. This time at the hands of the washing machine that bleached the colour out of the sponsor. :( #kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Random Footie shirt #78: Borussia Dortmund H 2015/16. Third and final shirt from my favourites in the Westphalia. Bought the day my lovely German friends got married, but kept that quiet (until now) as the groom is a huge Schalke fan. #kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt #79: Dun Na Ngall H 1992. Went to a wedding in a remote part of Ireland, on way back stopped in Letterkenny and came across a tiny sports shop - only Footie shirts they had on display were current Palace H&A , #58 & #64. More...
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies Image
Random Footie shirt # 79a: Brazil H 1960/70s (retro). Ok, so to quell rumblings about the penultimate shirt not being a proper footie jersey. Here's an alternate #79 - the classic Brazil 'Pele' shirt... go on, argue with that :)
#kitsoutforthelads #andladies ImageImage
Final Random Footie shirt #80: Bayern Munich H 1995/96. Around the World in 80 Shirts finishes today right back where we started, with the same design that launched the series. Won't lie, the irony of featuring this shirt today smarts a bit.
