In this episode of That 90’s Premier League Podcast, we’re joined by renowned football kit expert John Devlin, author and illustrator behind the celebrated True Colours football books. John has dedicated his life to documenting the evolution of football shirt design, from classic club kits of the 1980s and 90s to historic international strips.

We chat about the stories behind some of the most iconic and controversial kits in Premier League history, how kit culture shaped fan identity in the 90s, and what it’s like to research and illustrate football fashion across decades. Whether you grew up collecting replica shirts or just love the nostalgia of retro football style, John’s insights will take you behind the scenes of football design and culture.

This week we crack open The Worst Football Kits of All Time by Dave Moor and ask the big question: were the 90s really as bad as we remember… or just beautifully unhinged?

From baffling patterns and sponsor chaos to shirts that should’ve stayed in the design bin, we flick through Dave's infamous list and put it through a proper 90s Premier League lens. Do some kits deserve their place in football fashion infamy? And are a few of these “worst” kits actually cult classics now?
