DESCRIPTION:An Archive of the Beautiful Game:  Football (Soccer) Jerseys an
 d the Stories They TellA conversation with Jamal Thomas (Classic Football 
 Shirts)Football / fútbol / soccer is the most popular sport on earth. Its 
 cultural\, political\, and social impact is undeniable\, but as a game it 
 remains ephemeral. Bard Graduate Center welcomes Jamal Thomas from Classic
  Football Shirts\, a rapidly growing international collector and seller of
  vintage football jerseys and kits. He will exhibit a series of important 
 football jerseys from the sport’s history and then\, in conversation with 
 manager of public research and education and BGC alumna Mary Adeogun\, rev
 eal the stories imprinted in these material objects.Editors Updates:\n8:01
  – As of 2024\, AC Milan had 19 scudetto\, so still only 1 star. \n27:46 –
  Michael Jordan retired in spring 2003\, and Beckham began playing for Mad
 rid in summer 2003.Classic Football Shirts was started in 2006 by two foot
 ball-obsessed friends\, Doug Bierton and Matthew Dale\, searching for a 19
 90 West Germany jersey. Their difficulty finding an authentic one led them
  to establish Classic Football Shirts\, where they collect\, authenticate\
 , and resell vintage football jerseys\, kits\, and memorabilia. Their coll
 ection ranges from the super rare—a Sporting Lisbon jersey worn by a young
  Cristiano Ronaldo—to the niche—a staggeringly large collection of memorab
 ilia from the 1990s World Cup in Italy—to the current—jerseys that have be
 en released even within the past five years. Classic Football Shirts also 
 uses their collection to explore and expand on the histories of these jers
 eys and the sport more generally—launching a 2017 exhibition of 500 jersey
 s in partnership with the National Football Museum in Manchester\, and col
 laborating on BT Sport series 'What I Wore\,' where footballers past and p
 resent tell the stories behind their favorite kits.
