Admiral Sportswear, a pioneer in the sportswear scene since 1914, has teamed up with Jonnie’s Bodega for a fresh collection called ‘Playmakers’. This new line includes ‘home’ and ‘away’ kits, both highlighting the legendary ‘number 10’ shirt.
This collaboration isn’t surprising. Admiral often partners with urban fashion brands, like their recent work with Killa Villa. The goal of this partnership is to celebrate the skill and creativity of the playmaker, traditionally represented by the ‘number 10’. The kits embody flair while staying true to the styles of both brands.
Jonnie’s Bodega, a small streetwear brand from Kuala Lumpur, is known for its urban vibe. It often mixes lifestyle goods with a passion for football. This collaboration with Admiral marks its entrance into the football fashion world.
The number 10 shirt has been worn by some of the greatest players, including Messi, Zidane, and Pele. While the role may seem less prominent today, the spirit of being a playmaker remains important for players of all types. This collection aims to inspire everyone to embrace their inner playmaker and honor the legacy of the iconic number.
The ‘Home’ kit takes cues from the England national team’s classic style. It features a crisp white base with sleek navy accents. This design recalls elements from the 2002 England home shirt, including navy piping on the sleeves and collar. The much-loved number 10 proudly appears on the back.
The ‘Away’ kit offers a modern twist with its deep green hue and subtle white stripes. It maintains a minimalist feel, showcasing a straightforward fold-over collar and central crest, making it perfect for both the pitch and everyday wear.
Through this collection, Admiral and Jonnie’s Bodega are not just selling kits; they are telling a story. The Playmakers collection invites fans to relive football’s rich history while celebrating their own style and creativity.
