More Than A Shirt

Twenty-two football shirts are used to trace how the game connects with wider political and cultural forces. The book looks at club kits and national colours as vehicles for design, sponsorship and symbolism, while also touching on topics such as migration, war and sportswashing.

Drawing on reporting and analysis, it presents football shirts as more than sporting apparel. The result is a focused non-fiction account for readers interested in football, politics and the global stories reflected in a familiar part of the game.
