OK football fans, as some of you know I was trying to collect all of the USA 94 shirts by the 30th anniversary. I have not completed the task, but here is what I have managed to put together….
41/43 available shirts - Morocco and Mexico away elude me
(5 were matchworn only)
Tried to photograph all my Arsenal shirts but failed miserably to get them in one shot!
Every shirt from the year of my birth (1984) to the present…..bar one gaping hole at the top.
Help a brother out with an away 85-86 Centenary shirt!
So this just happened! Initially said he wasn’t up for a photo as he was with his daughter but seeing I was beaming from ear to ear anyway, Thierry came back to me a few minutes later and said ‘sir, you can have a picture.’ Legend.

I can quit collecting. After a long search, I’ve got my hands on the last shirt in my Arsenal project - the 1985 away Centenary kit. That’s all Arsenal kits since I was born in 84.
See the 4 Arsenal unicorns sitting pretty together.

Presenting the father 🧙♂️, son 👼🏼 and Holy Spirit 👻 - the 3 shirts I have been chasing since I started collecting, knowing they won’t ever get any cheaper, I pulled the trigger. Holland with van Basten 12, almost mint size M bruised 🍌 (hard to find) & Denmark came via Ukraine!
This one deserves its own post
Matchworn 1985 Yugoslavia v France in a 86 World Cup qualifier. Worn by defender Vlado Čaplijć.
Only way to know you have an authentic eastern bloc country is matchworn! Love those 80s numbers on Adidas shirts.
Look, I’ve got Covid, stuck in the house, I don’t need a better excuse to photograph more kits.
My favourite World Cup, USA 94, probably because I was completely and utterly football obsessed. Stoichkov and Hagi were 2 of my favourite players at the time.
Picturing the 2 centenary shirts together earlier got me thinking of what other duplicates I have….so I got them out!
Show us your doubles you hoarders!
I suppose AC Milan are my Serie A team from watching them as a young buck in the early 90s. This is my favourite set of shirts from their back catalogue.
Ok ok a better picture of the Iceman Bergkamp’s matchworn Inter shirt.
He is my footballing hero so if you want to know how it feels to get your hero’s shirt, it feels warm and fuzzy.
Anyone have a DB Arsenal matchworn for me?

Who wants some Nike Futura content?
That’s right, everybody does!
Completed the mini 2019-20 Nike Futura third shirt collection…. (look, no Spurs shirt, it was bad enough getting a Chelsea shirt for the photo)
4 BNWT, 2 Vaporknit
How do they compare to my original Futura’s?
It’s one of the rarest Arsenal shirts, only ever player issue and thus only in XL or XXL to cater for the fashion sense of the mid 90s!
Lucky to get an XXL to rest on my small/medium frame.
The 2022 purchases. There appears to have been a lot. But I also moved a few on, but definitely a net gain. Completed the Arsenal set and have gone deep into the World Cup 94 collection.
What’s this I hear you ask?
Yes it’s a BNWT, I said BNWT(!), Sweden 1994 away shirt to go into the USA 94 collection…
Pictured with the home shirt also adorning the name of Crystal Palace’s finest import.
A bit of pre-match shirt porn
This is a Chris Hughton match shirt from Italia 90 that’s just arrived in my collection!
I’d love to say matchworn but he was on the bench for the whole tournament! Nevertheless, a piece of Irish sporting history.
Just when I decide to refine what I’m collecting, one of my all time favourite shirts pops up from

Reuniting Georghe with his strike partner Florin and the other boys at USA 94
@worldcup94
If anyone has a home Bulgaria or an away Sweden, let me know! Norway too.
I said I would never go beyond a single rail (so I bought a 6 foot one), but there looks like a bit of bar-bending going on, how many more can I squeeze in? What can you spot? Oldest to newest left to right.

Almost mint condition Arsenal 84-85 shirt in the collection now thanks to
@arsenalkitgeek
- completed the home side of my ‘since I was born’ Arsenal collection!
🔥 🔥 🔥
The best Cork City shirt ever? One of my first footballing heroes Claudio Caniggia at Atalanta? Pretty happy with these 2!
Last arrival for a while probably, twins will be upon us soon - have to buy baby stuff instead!
Yesterday’s arrival was special. This player and this shirt are deep in my memories with their incredible run to the World Cup semi-finals in 1994, the highlight being the 2-1 win in the quarter finals with Stoitchkov’s incredible free kick and Letchkov’s iconic diving header.
New arrival - 1994 Ireland away. This is probably an underage match shirt as the senior team only wore it 3 times and all at USA 94 where you’d have to be completely insane to have worn long sleeves!!
HERE WE GO! ⚽️
All shirts are mint, or close to mint condition 🔥
They’re all 100% authentic
Prices listed are in EURO 💶
Postage, from Ireland, not included.
First come, first served.
Payment by PayPal F&F.
One or 2 are for my collection.

What’s the one shirt you had as a kid and wish you still had?
Mine is the 1998 Argentina away shirt which I wore to my first ever disco thinking I was the coolest lad in the place. The girls didn’t agree.
Some beautiful arrivals this week - Nantes 1977-79 goes straight in as my oldest shirt, R9 haircut/seizure shirt, Venezia is probably the silkiest shirt ever made and a Vaporknit France centenary shirt with all the game details! Look at those crests.
Didn’t think much of this when it came out but it is beautiful in hand. Always buy the long sleeve as it sells out, this is Aeroready and the quality is an awful lot better than recent aeroready, a lot closer to the authentic version, prefer last seasons club font though.
