Almost every team has REALLY groovy warm-up jerseys, far cooler than the actual uniforms. I wish I’d been collecting those as I went along, but I was too single-minded and then too deep into this thing to go back. I do wish more of these were FUNKY as opposed to functional, but I’m still not mad at them and I’m definitely afraid to wash my England jersey. Thank God I am not sweating in mine as much as they are.
