Kit and Community digs beneath the surface of inspirational designs to reveal the incredible causes that use football shirts to spread their message. This innovative book - with a foreword by The Price of Football's Kieran Maguire and a chapter from Football 365's John Nicholson - proves beyond doubt that every shirt has a story to tell.
Kit and Community digs beneath the surface of inspirational and meaningful designs to reveal the incredible causes that use football shirts to spread their message.

Starting with Stanno's Shirt, we meet Gig and Roger, the parents of Exeter City legend Adam Stansfield, who was cut down by cancer at the heartbreaking age of 31. Gig and Roger share how their son's shirts meant, and still mean, so much to them.

Then there's York City photographers Kieran Archer, Chris Payne and Tom Poole, who designed the club's stunning centenary shirt, celebrating the city's heritage of chocolate making, illustrated by outstanding images. The trio describe every step of the design process. Plus, in a joyously inspirational interview, Tania and Jayme from Football Shirts FC (for charity) discuss their mission to use shirts to support cancer charities close to their hearts.

As these and other accounts in this innovative book show us - every shirt has a unique story to tell.

Matt Riley worked as a journalist in Thai football for many years, appearing regularly on the Fox Sports Central nightly show beamed across Asia, before returning to England as a lecturer in Business Management at the University of Exeter. This is his fourth book published through Pitch.
