How football shirts became the garment of choice for festivalgoers.

Rudi is a Manchester United fan but is wearing a 1989 Ajax shirt to Latitude."Somebody else got the 2018 Nigeria shirt and somebody else got one of the 90s Bayern Munich shirt - I think I got the best of the bunch."Ffion Moon said big tournaments such as the Women's World Cup have helped move football away from lad culture

"Even though I live nowhere near Manchester I was born into being a fan," says Shaan Sagoo, 18. "Basically my first ever present, for being born, was a Man United kit from 2004. "We've had the shirts for the past three or four festivals and they fly out - people get really excited about particular ones, especially the older ones," he says.

"Football shirts, for the majority of their existence, were seen as the preserve of the tasteless or the nerd," says Neal Heard, author of The Football Shirts Book.
