In the realm of football fashion, Admiral stands as a pioneer, revolutionizing the industry with its historic kit deal with Leeds United in 1974. This groundbreaking partnership marked the dawn of replica shirts, forever changing the landscape of football apparel.
While not as globally renowned as Nike or adidas, Admiral has left an indelible mark on the sport, producing some of its most iconic kits, from Manchester United’s 1977 home strip to England’s 1982 World Cup shirt.
Admiral has collaborated with Halcyon Publishing and Glory Magazine co-founder Lee Nash to release “Admiral: 50 Years of the Replica Shirt.” This comprehensive book delves deep into Admiral’s greatest ever kits, chronicling 100 shirts with the help of photographer James Hendley, a devoted football enthusiast.
Additionally, the book features interviews and recollections from legendary players, commentators, and fans, including Harry Pearson, Maisie Adam, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, and more.
“Admiral: 50 Years of the Replica Shirt” is available for preorder at $56 USD, with shipping scheduled to begin in June 2024.
