times last season. Despite the much
maligned up-tilt in prices for a replica
shirt in this modern era, people still
flock in their numbers to don their
teams latest kit. As of April
2016
,
Chelsea, Manchester United and
Arsenal had sold just over eight million
shirts worldwide. Recent kit reveal
trends have taken the concept to a
whole new level, with live events
streamed across Facebook, YouTube
and Twitter now a familiar sight. There's
something odd and slightly awkward
surrounding the fact that players walk
out onto a stage and stand
uncomfortably, whilst an audience, who
are presumably kit connoisseurs,
applaud them for their efforts. Putting
that aside, seeing what the
manufacturers and club's have come
up with is undoubately an exciting
moment. It's time to roll out the red
