Vintage Soccer Wear Now.

Perhaps with the support of the 90's revival and the World Cup, vintage soccer uniforms and apparel have been attracting a lot of attention. For this issue, we visited "roster vintage," a vintage clothing store that stocks soccer goods from the past, with Shintaro Yuya, an actor who loves soccer, and Shunsaku, a stylist. The owner, Tatsuhito Ichinose, was our navigator, and the three of us talked about vintage soccer wear. In addition, we introduce three sample styles using items from "roster vintage.

Items from "roster vintage" that tug at the heartstrings of soccer lovers .

. From here, we asked each of you to pick up a recommendation from the items in the "roster vintage" section. Let's start with Ichinose-san.

Roma uniform ¥28,000

Ichinose:. First of all, the Roma uniform. Totti is often associated with the number 10, but this is from when he had just started playing for the first team, and his number is 20. Totti started wearing number 10 when he was about 21 years old, so this number is very valuable because of the short period of time it was worn.

Yuya:I have an image of "Kappa" in Rome, but "ASICS" is a good choice.

Ichinose:This shows once again how good a manufacturer ASICS is. As with any manufacturer, the popularity of a uniform depends on the sponsor. When Atletico was sponsored by a movie distribution company, the logo of the movie was designed on the chest for advertising purposes. Uniforms with the "Spiderman" logo on them are especially popular because of their good design.

Shunsaku:To put it another way, there was a time when Nintendo sponsored Fiorentina, wasn't there? At that time, when Fiorentina played a game at their home stadium, there was an interesting device where Mario would appear on the electronic billboard when a goal was scored and Wario would appear when a goal was conceded.

Next, we have the Manchester United items.

Manchester United Jacket ¥32,000

Ichinose:This item was made by UMBRO in the late 90's, during United's golden age. It was made by UMBRO, and there was an England team version with a similar design, and it seems to have been developed into a series. The design itself is of course cool, but the key point is the 14 on the chest, which I think was probably embroidered by Jordi Cruyff, considering the era, but it looks like a local supporter embroidered it himself.

What was this item used for?

Ichinose:I've never seen it in magazines, so I can only speculate, but I think it was either training wear for athletes or worn only by coaches. It's not sportswear, but rather a street-style design that looks like something Supreme would have put out.

Yuya:This is so cool. United, in my mind, is still the image of Beckham.

Shunsaku:I have always supported Arsenal, but I only remember United scoring against them (laughs).

Shunsaku-san, it took you a long time to narrow down the items.

Jorkaeff Polo Shirt Reference Items

Shunsaku:I was troubled by all the good items (laughs). The first item I chose was a polo shirt by Jorkaeff. Who in the world would have made this polo shirt? Is this a boot?

Ichinose:. It is not a tag that is often attached to the boot, so it may have been created by someone on their own.

Shunsaku:Yes, that's right. This is a collage of various photos of Djorkaeff, and the worst part is that Djorkaeff is wearing a jacket. Why did you choose this photo and why did you use a polo shirt? Why did you use a polo shirt? Why did they use a polo shirt? It's a very strange picture.

Tottenham Bench Coat ¥28,000

Shunsaku:Another one is the Tottenham bench coat. It's Arsenal's rival team, so it's frustrating to choose this one, but the design is perfect. Like the United item that Ichinose-san introduced earlier, this bench coat is also available in a series, and there are other team verts, but this one has by far the best color scheme.

Yuya:. The emblems of the clubs are totally different from today. The fact that Tottenham is named "Umbro" is also fresh.

Shunsaku:Personally, I think Tottenham was and still is the most stylish team in the Premier League. . It could be their training wear , or the coloring of their keeper uniforms is exquisite.

. Lastly, Mr. Yuya, please.

Juventus cap ¥5,000

Yuya:I chose the Juventus cap because I saw a few goalkeepers wearing caps in the past, and I thought their style was really cool. I thought the style was really cool. The same is true of Wakabayashi in "Captain Tsubasa. I often wear caps, too, so I thought I could easily incorporate a soccer element into my fashion. The manufacturer is Kappa, and I also like the indescribable innocence of the cap.

Shunsaku:I think that the Kappa and DIADORA brands will appeal to people who have played soccer for a long time. Juventus collaborated with PALACE a couple of years ago, and this cap shows that they have always been fashionable.

Yuya:Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of collaborations between soccer clubs and fashion brands. The third uniform for Real designed by Yohji Yamamoto is another item in this context. I thought it would be nice to see a fashion designer designing sportswear. Didn't Giorgio Armani design uniforms for some teams in the past?

Real Madrid x Yohji Yamamoto Uniform ¥10,000

Shunsaku:Armani is the Italian national team . Also, there was a reversible uniform for the England national team sometime ago, and it was designed by Paul Smith.

Ichinose:Although it's not a uniform, Moncler is still involved with Inter Milan's uniforms.

Yuya:Surprisingly, there are quite a few. It would be nice if more people become interested in soccer as a result of such efforts.
