New footie fan found a favorite
I only started watching soccer...err, football a little over two years ago and support a team playing in the top-flight professional English league. I became very interested in the different kits (uniforms) each team wore and the varying colors and styles they selected.This book is a history of the home, away, and other uniforms supplied to the teams of the Premier League since its inception over a decade ago. Some of the teams have been relegated to lower leagues now, but each is given fair and equal treatment by the author. Care is given to detail the how and why changes were made to uniforms, including the introductions of new eye-catching materials in the early 1990's and the changing sponsors listed on the team jerseys.For fans of one team or collectors of sport memorabilia, this is a necessary book to buy.

One of the Best!
A detailed look at English football kits over three decades. I do these as a hobby but using an app with templates. John did all these by himself. Great achievement.

True Colours: Football Kits
I liked reading this book on football kits ranging from the 1980's to the present day. This would be ideal reference for someone who collects football strips or other football memorabilia. My own criticism is on the non mention of Scottish, Irish and Welsh football teams so unless a book featuring these teams is due publication, perhaps the author can include these in future. 4 out of 5.

A superb second volume. Hurry up and write volume 3!!!
I loved volume 1. I wanted more. I wanted John Devlin to cover more teams. I wanted more football kit history and illustrations. But I didn't think it would happen. I thought I'd have to make do with that one fascinating, memory-jiggling book. Then I spotted volume 2!!! More teams. More kits and the stories behind them in the same beautifully depicted, page-turning format. Come on, John! Get volume 3 written and don't stop till you've completely covered every single team, domestic AND international. I'd buy them all. And if your publisher won't risk the 'lower' teams, then make a website. But really, I'd prefer more volumes on my bookshelf. Excellent. Both books brought back so many memories and it was great to see how the kits evolved through the years.
