Presenting The Foot-Ball Club, formed in Edinburgh in 1824. There's not much known about what the first football club wore 200 years ago, so let’s imagine it was something along these lines. The crest features the shield from the Edinburgh arms, and scrawled across the chest are the first written football rules:


1. Single-soled shoes, no iron

2. No tripping

3. Ball to pass imaginary line

4. A free kick if ball out of bounds

5. Pushing is allowed. Holding not illegal

6. Allow the ball to be lifted between fields

Aff[irmative] Fun, air, exercise

Neg[ative] — No tripping —

 

Choose between numberless (more accurate to the era) or number 24 to represent the founding year. 

Designed by Mark Crosby, this special design is part of the Olive & York Yesteryear series.

 

These are produced on-demand. Orders will ship approximately 4-6 weeks after purchase. Features a sublimated badge. If no customization is chosen, back will be blank.
