  1. Ep 8 - Football Shirt Monopoly Board (Pt.1)

    Ep 8 - Football Shirt Monopoly Board (Pt.1)

    There are so many different versions of Monopoly these days, you'd think they'd have made one where well-known football shirts appeared on each of the property spaces on the board. Anyone? Oh, just us then. Still, just imagine how great a Football Shirt Monopoly board would be, and spare a moment or two to consider which shirts would be on it. So many shirts to choose from, but so few spaces. Luckily, both you (our audience) and us have put our heads together to draw up a list of possible inclusions, and on this (part 1 of a two-parter), we're going to pick the shirts that will go onto the first half of our virtual board. So whether they're brown, light blue, pink or orange, have a listen to see whether you agree with our shirt selections. And to help you visualise the great many shirts we mention, we strongly advise you make use of our handy crib sheet that has pictures of everything that made it to our shortlist. Download it here (and enjoy the podcast...) Music: Kevin MacLeod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  2. Ep 7 - Premier League Kit Preview 2024-25

    Ep 7 - Premier League Kit Preview 2024-25

    Another domestic season is underway, so who better than us to give you a preview of what to expect of the new kits you'll be seeing in the Premier League? 'But wait,' we hear you cry - 'I haven't got time to hear about all those kits... Can't you cut the waffle and tell me only what I need to know?' Why sure! We're the masters of the micro review, so once again we're on hand to give you our thoughts about each kit in three words AND haiku! Yes, we'll be rattling through dozens of new kits with a slightly ignorant sense of dismissiveness, but you'll thank us later for that. Along the way, we discover Rich's other favourite team, have a lengthy moan about retro kits (especially the ones with unnecessary team badges) and generally wonder how Manchester United have been with Adidas for TEN years. Are we really that old now? Before you say yes, why not join us for 80 minutes of discussion about all that's new (and in some cases old) about football kit design. Your feedback is, as always, very welcome. Music: Kevin MacLeod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep 6 - Olympic Kits

    The 2024 Paris Olympics are almost upon us (at least at time of recording), so what better than to look back at some of the most interesting kits from Olympic soccer tournament history? In this episode, Chris and Rich will be hand-picking some fine examples of kit design that deviated from the norm in the name of amateur excellence under those five interlocking rings. From unknown kit suppliers to questionable colouring, there's much to discuss - and that's after we briefly summarise our thoughts on the kits of Euro 2024. To get a visual cue about all of the Olympic kits we discuss in the podcast, why not download our crib sheet? It'll save you a lot of searching and, we hope, will add to your listening pleasure...

  4. Ep 5 - FA Cup Final Kits of the 1990s

    05/22/2024

    Ep 5 - FA Cup Final Kits of the 1990s

    It's FA Cup Final week and we really should be getting excited about the greatest game in the English football calendar, but it's ANOTHER Manchester derby, so we're allowed not to be. Far better, we think, to consider the FA Cup Finals of the past, and particularly the kits that were worn in them. That's why we've plumped for the 1990s - a decade that provides us with plenty to talk about where the Wembley showpiece is concerned. So sit back, listen in and here what we've got to say about everything from Crystal Palace in Bukta stripes to Newcastle United in a kit that was ALMOST their best ever. Oh, and we'd love to hear your feedback too. Drop us a line, either via your favourite podcatcher, or on Twitter/X at @devilkitpod. Music: Kevin MacLeod. Hosted on Acast.

  5. Ep 4 - National Team Kit Reviews in Three Words

    Ep 4 - National Team Kit Reviews in Three Words

    In our attempt to review as many kits as possible in a single podcast episode, we've resorted to a plan that we think might work: using only three words to summarise each kit. Are we crazy? Foolish? Just plain desperate to innovate? The answer to all three is probably 'yes', but either way, we give you our snappy views of all the new national team kit releases from the past few weeks, along with some random haiku thrown in for free. There's also our take on the England kit controversy, and what the switch from Adidas to Nike could mean for the German national team. Plenty to get through, as ever, and you're welcome to join us... Crib Sheet available here. Music: Kevin MacLeod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  6. Ep 3 - Forgotten Mediocrity (1999-2000)

    Ep 3 - Forgotten Mediocrity (1999-2000)

    As the years roll by, many football kits are forgotten about because they're just plain mediocre. Well not on this podcast! We're the sort of people that celebrate mediocrity because, you see, mediocrity doesn't necessarily mean 'terrible.' Usually it does, but not always... Anyway, to sharpen our focus, we've decided to go back to the 1999-2000 Premier League season to pick out our most forgotten examples of kit mediocrity, with an additional casual glance at Euro 2000. There's also kit news and feedback from our previous episode. What are you waiting for... Tuck in, kit lovers! Music: Kevin MacLeod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  7. Ep 2 - The Kits of World Cup '82

    02/13/2024

    Ep 2 - The Kits of World Cup '82

    We've reviewed the kits from many major tournaments and competitions down the years, but never the 1982 World Cup. In this episode, we aim to put that right as we pick out the best from FIFA's 12th quadrennial outing. There's also a big stack of news featuring teams wanting to change their kit, change their logo and, in one particular case, change the concept of a singular fourth kit. It all gets a bit meta, but luckily there's always the subject of childhood toys to fall back on. And crisps. We love reading out your comments, so send us your feedback at twitter.com/devilkitpod, and we'll do our best to give you a name-check on a future episode. Music: Kevin MacLeod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  8. Ep 1 - The Ten(-ish) Commandments

    01/16/2024

    Ep 1 - The Ten(-ish) Commandments

    Chris and Rich create an almost biblical set of commandments that every football kit fan should live by. Long socks? Too long. Fussy necklines? Never. Non-football logos on football shirts? No, thank you. These and other such ideals are presented for your consideration and delight in the first episode of the football kit podcast that speaks the TRUTH. * Give us your comments or feedback at twitter.com/devilkitpod, and we'll do our best to give you a name-check on a future episode. (* Most of the time.) Music: Kevin MacLeod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
