When Shorts Were Short S2 E11 - Iain Macintosh (Classic Kits 1954-92)

When Shorts Were Short

My latest Classic Kits guest is journalist, author and podcaster Iain Macintosh. Iain, like me, is one of those guys who’s been podcasting forever and I’ve been following his work for over a decade. Co-founder of Muddy Knees Media, in the summer of 2017, Iain, Ben Green (aka Producer Ben) and James Richardson, all left Football Weekly to launch the hugely successful Totally Football Show for the new company. In 2020, Muddy Knees became part of The Athletic and these days, Iain fronts The Football Manager Show for them.

When Shorts Were Short only concerns itself with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast will only cover football from 1954, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, a design that was widespread within English football by the mid-fifties, to 1992 when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.
