About Us
Eighteen70, from EVOLUTION to REVOLUTION
The game of Football is generally considered to date back to the mob football games played in the Middle Ages between rival villages with no rules at all. This was later developed by private schools in the mid 1800’s, with the first football clubs as we know them today being created from 1857. However, There were no uniform kits: players would turn out in whatever they had to hand and teams would be distinguished by wearing distinctively coloured caps, scarves or sashes over cricket whites or whatever else players had to hand.
“In football it is a most essential point that the members of one team should be clearly distinguished from those of the other. The only way this can be effected is for each club to have a distinct uniform as the diversity of dress displayed yesterday not only confused the members of the team but the spectators were quite unable to say whether a man belonged to one team or the other.”
A quote from a Birmingham correspondent, following an early FA cup game.
The first uniform kits began to appear around 1870. In England colours were often those of the public schools and sports clubs with which the game was associated.
Our Story
Having worked for the big brands for over 15 years, providing Team Kits to some of the World biggest clubs we know what it means to provide a five star service. At the highest level teams are provided with best in class design, product and service, creating individually designed kits and associated products with an elite look and feel.
We also know how it feels at the other end of the spectrum, ordering from standard brochures, with limited colours and paying extra for each element of customisation. We know how it feels to wait a long time for the kit to arrive, only to find some sizes are out of stock and the following year when you want to top up, you find this style is discontinued. The disappointment when you turn up on a Saturday, only to find the opposition are wearing exactly the same kit, but in a different colour.
Looking good can give you confidence but science shows it can also help an athlete play better
That is why we created Eighteen70.
That is why we created Eighteen70. We believed that EVERY club, at EVERY level has the right to LOOK and FEEL like an elite team. We provide every team with the same five star service, making sure you LOOK, FEEL and PLAY Better!
