the other day I was strolling past the Emeral Stadium when I caught a glimpse of a crowd now I decided to pose a question to this crowd why are you guys waiting outside of the Emirates when there's not a match this week it's International break like what are you doing and it turns out that inside of the Emirates there was a fashion show going on next thing you know I'm seeing Dean rice walking in the Emirates Stadium fully suited up and instantly this had me thinking it's time to get suited and booted and talk about
fashion football once again the match day Walkins where you'll see some of your favorite players walking into the stadium suited and booted up whether they've been styled by a professional or they just pulled out something in the wardrobe 20 minutes ago before making the drive down to the stadium you'll see The Best of Both Worlds but for Handy Flick's New Look Barcelona he decided to scrap this whole idea from seeing groundbreaking outfits from Jules cond week in and week out we've gone to this the game's gone or if we're being honest the game is back
Hy flick said no under my regime the German regime you guys are coming in with Barcelona pajamas you're wearing training kits to bed and you better wake up and come to the stadium on Match Day prepared and if I'm being honest I'm liking it because I was sick and tired of seeing these funky outfits for these players to put up lackluster performances in the games that they had to play now they can be less focused on their wardrobe and more focused on the on Pitch activities this season with this new change they're back better than
ever with all their players balling out and I'm not saying anything but maybe this handy flick regime is doing them Justice now another part of fashion in football that I've previously dabbled in is masks on a football pitch now there's nothing more memorable than wearing a mask on a football pitch players are mainly forced to wear carbon mask to protect themselves after suffering a facial injury with the La of Victor oshan Lewandowski son hun Min many players Dawning the infamous mask the mask that can make or break your season recently we saw it Break mbappe's
season and his form during the Euros where he suffered an injury to his nose early into the tournament then had to wear a mask for the rest of it definitely influencing his performances but some players do Thrive when they are handed the mask something like mask LeBron they go in this incredible Runner form and display traits that you've never seen before the likes of Ash went on a goalscoring run when he had to wear a mask a couple Seasons back and also Ronald Aro for Barcelona but one iconic masked moment that I have to talk
about is Fernando Torres wearing the mask when he suffered a facial injury during his time at Chelsea he wore the mask during a Europa League final against Benfica in 2013 where he opened the scoring in that same game and led Chelsea to win just going to show that The Mask doesn't always mean that you're going to play bad but just because Torres was protected on the pitch doesn't doesn't mean he was protected off of it and today's video partner nordvpn can help a lot with that protecting not only Tores but you visit the first link

and are looking to deal some damage instantly the Brilliance of random F cow pops into my head and Sergio Aguero these feisty Strikers that definitely just put on these gloves because they wanted to intimidate opponents because there is no reason for a footballer to wear short sleeves and gloves this definitely is not providing them with much warmth because imagine someone pulling up to the function it's the midst of October and he's just got on a short sleeve t-shirt and gloves but if I'm being real Sergio Aguero with the short sleeve Man City kit the gloves
and that ugly mohin has to be even more legendary because this guy was feared in the Premier League one of the best strikers in premier league history and he's rocking up to games looking like this this is the kind of outfit you put on when your mom just starts letting you dress yourself and of course there have been other players that have dawned this famous look the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and for a lot of the comments in my last video they suggested sabit for Man United rocking the gloves short sleeves and a man bun
this guy put all his attributes and all his effort into his appearance and put up some slumped displays for Man United during his time there another trait that we just have to delve into a little bit more is incredibly low socks the likes of Jack greish kavich kelia and dybala all rocking extremely low socks and invisible shads but they have every right to because if you watch some of their silky skills in display you would understand why they don't need to try hard they just roll up to the game and just start taking on players
I remember when Jack greish first stepped into the Premier League 2020 to 2021 and he was rocking the short low socks this guy was balling weak in and weak out for Aston Villa on that left hand side making a name for himself and ultimately earning him a move to Manchester City before things kind of went downhill losing the flare and becoming more practical but he had his time where he would just go in and out of Defenders with ease but again I must reiterate if I see a dead baller wearing low socks sub him off
ASAP now throwing it back to the '90s and the early 2000s with this one oversized kits are something that I am missing in football mainly because of the lack of concern and Technology back then players were wearing oversized football kits with all the best players in the world donning the baggiest of kits George weer maradon Roberto bgio all these guys that were thriving in the Seri R but it wasn't just the Siri r that were rocking these baggy kits because I know a lot of Instagram accounts make you believe that but the whole of the
world were rocking baggy kits mainly because the technology of just tailoring kits wasn't introduced yet that's why to me a lot of vintage kits just look better than the newer ones because they're more practical not for in-game footballing function but for outside function now over the years safety became more and more important and also optimized footballers ability on the pitch so we slowly but surely saw the development from having baggy kits to having tight tailored kits that would kind of stick to the skin because with these kits came many problems being held back when you're
running at full Pace because your kit was quite loose became a really big problem with players of course getting injured now you're forced to play proper football and defend another trait from the older eras of football has to be footballers wearing jewelry in game the likes of Maldini who would tackle you into next week Tuesday all whilst wearing a chain around his neck or maradon who would glide through your entire team again whilst wearing a chain but of course speaking from Nostalgia only goes so far because if you're wearing a chain in game that is
such a safety issue just imagine a Madman like Pepe playing in an era where some players were wearing chains around their neck this guy would have grabbed that chain and slly tackled them in the same move this is the same guy that kicked a guy about eight times after making a tackle so I thank the footballing gods for taking this out of the game another thing that we have to talk about is customized boots when a footballer just goes out of his way and hits up the likes of boots plug on Instagram for a new
customized pair of boots I think that makes him a real brother you know a guy that really cares about the little things you know if anything it's the little things that are getting him by or getting him high it's the little things that get me by I've seen the likes of Pierre Emer aubameyang done some Dragon Ball Z customized boots bro that is cold and you can't tell me otherwise we need to see more players rocking customized boots now the last piece of fashion within football that we have to talk about is managerial drip from
the likes of Pep Guardiola rocking Stone Island on the by line to arson wer and his elaborate collection of puffer jackets over the years that he sometimes couldn't zip up managers have some of the biggest influence on fashion in football but I need you guys to help me on this one comment some managers that just have some different drip whether it's them actually in game coaching their team or on the training pitch and a quick shout out to all the clubs that just do these Big Brand collaborations the likes of AC Milan crossing over with
offy we will look back in 20 years time and say that this is football Heritage cuz I know there's many people that hate it so yeah fashion in football is back and it's as iconic as ever comment anything that I missed out in this video and if you enjoyed it leave a like And subscribe thank you guys as always and make sure you stay blessed stay safe and peace [Music]
