25 years in the making{in my head,at least),and herelam finally sat down topen something lhave long dreamt of writing.  \nIn my thoughts,and in various forms of reality,it has gonethrough a gamut of guises.Originally,it was going to bemuch more of a kind of 'origin of the species'type book:as in,I would start with the exploration of what shirtcolours and paterns stand for,why we define ourselvesinto teams,and how team colours are an integral part ofour identity-from tribal rools to he present day (for this,  \nBack where it all began:the StMichael's school team1978,me with the long haic.The shirt wasyellow withblue trim-Ican sill seeit in my mind's eye todayl  \nI recommend the seminal‘70s book The Soccer Tribe byDesmond Morris).Then,I had always intended to detailan historical account of shirts and be a bit moretrainspottery about it,starting from the year zero:Corinthian-Casuals,the wall game and all that.I'veshelved that now.I'm gonna let my artistic and hippysides have

tomes;and to be honest,most of these books do anexcellent job in one form or another.However,as great aslots of these books are,they didn't scratch my personal itch.  \nAny of you who have read my previous tome,Trainers,willknow the kind of approach l like.Though definitely important,for me i's not about being pedantically
