Sharp. Sleek. Clever. I had to order it immediately. So, let’s #GetTheShirtIn for Cambridge United’s 2025/26 Third Kit. The shirt features an embossed pattern of DNA double helix structures woven throughout the front and back. It’s subtle enough that you might miss it from a distance, but once you spot it, it completely changes how you see the shirt. The inspiration comes from one of Cambridge’s most famous contributions to the world. In 1953, scientists working at the Univer

I really like this kit. Clean. Different. Properly rooted in the place it comes from. So let’s get straight into it and #GetTheShirtIn for Cambridge United’s Third Kit. Produced by Umbro and sponsored by BrewBoard, this one takes its inspiration from a very specific spot in the city – Parker’s Piece. Now, this isn’t just any park. This is the birthplace of the modern rules of football. Back in 1863, students at Cambridge – arriving from schools like Eton, Rugby and Harrow, al

Historic and world famous university town. Famed for their football? Not so much. Not yet. Not recently. But. That isn’t to say that the U’s don’t have a long history themselves. They were close to being one of the Premier League’s founding members, finishing 5 th  in the Second Tier (today’s Championship) in 1992 and having reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in their past. More recently they have bounced around between the 5 th  and 3 rd  tiers – winning the FA Trophy

I really like this kit. I also love the Celta Vigo badge – and I write a long blog post deconstructing its exceptional history here: https://www.getthebadgein.net/post/celta-vigo So I intend for this one to be a little shorter. So let’s drive straight in! On the back of the shirt is the Trisquel logo. This three-armed fan-looking emblem is another ancient symbol of the Celts and it appears in many of their designs. It is perhaps most famous today on the flag of the Isle of Ma

This is an absolute beauty of a badge and I had a lot of fun researching it. One of those that you assume is so simple, with maybe just one story behind it, but you begin to unwrap it and you end up going down one of the deepest rabbit holes. So, without further ado, let’s #GetTheBadgeIn for Real Club Celta de Vigo! The city of Vigo in Galicia (that bit of northern Spain that sits above Portugal and looks out into the Atlantic) is about as historic as you can get. Built on a

Greenland. It’s been in the news a bit lately. But away from the rantings and ravings of unhinged world leaders, the local people – currently a population of 56,000 – have a fascinating past and, by the sounds of it, a pretty exciting future too. In and amongst all of this is the story of its national football team. While Greenland operates in a similar fashion to the Faroe Islands, in that it is an autonomous territory within Denmark, it is not – like the Faroe Islands are –

Kilmarnock. Damp air, heavy skies, long winters – and fantastic poetry. And, it would seem, squirrels. Not sure about the squirrels. Let’s go about twenty miles South-West of Glasgow to visit this town of around 50,000 souls and #GetTheBadgeIn to see what we can learn about them, their football team and those squirrels. On the pitch the team dates back to 1869 making them one of the oldest teams in Scotland and the oldest team currently in the SPL. They date back to the days
