On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris dive headfirst into one of football’s most nostalgic — and surprisingly controversial — topics: kits. From childhood shirt disasters and knock-off classics to the shirts that made entire generations fall in love with the game, the lads break down what makes a kit truly iconic.
Crouchy shares first-hand memories of his earliest football strips (including one that didn’t survive warm-ups), while the boys debate whether people genuinely look better in football shirts, which kits should never make a comeback, and where wearing a jersey in public officially becomes unacceptable behaviour.
There’s also chat about vintage gold, England shirts in everyday life, the unspoken rules footballers live by, and a reminder that some fashion trends really were best left in the past. Plus, a detour into Mila Kunis, Watford shirts, and why manifesting football dreams might actually work…
