I just want a stripe. I want a straight line. I want it to look like Ralph Lauren\u201d). But the Collinses encourage fans to consider the items in the context of fashion and history to, as Damian says, \u201csee this bigger picture than just a jersey that you can wear. There\u2019s a lot more to filling in the story of football, soccer, fashion, and lifestyle than just a brand-new jersey.\u201d Of course, today\u2019s brand-new jersey <em>could<\/em> someday be a rare treasure that the likes of the Collinses would seek out\u2014the passage of time plus a printing glitch, a historic moment while wearing the kit, or some other unknowable X factor, might earn a 2026 kit a spot in the Collinses\u2019 offerings in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Collinses can and have sourced specific pieces by customer request (they tactfully do not drop names), but both say they prefer curating the store and allowing fans to explore the pieces themselves, providing details about the items\u2019 provenance and history on the hangtags. Or sometimes, a conversation about the wearer\u2019s background and style will lead them to an unexpected choice. Avigail describes an American woman who came in looking for a Morocco jersey for her Moroccan boyfriend. \u201cBut then she saw, \u2018Oh my gosh, you\u2019ve got this England jersey, and it\u2019s from 1990, and that\u2019s the year that I went to the World Cup with my dad. And he\u2019s English. I have to get it.\u2019 That was really special. She\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019m gonna wear this to watch the game on Saturday,\u2019 and it made me so happy that someone was gonna wear it like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Of the duo, Damian is more of a soccer fan, and he\u2019s been entrenched in the jersey business since youth, when his father\u2019s company manufactured activewear and soccer jerseys. Asked what his holy grail jersey is, he first named a Real Madrid jersey designed for Adidas by Yohji Yamamoto that he picked up years back in Korea. \u201cIt\u2019s black, and it has a gray dragon that wraps around the whole torso,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s plain black, but it has a white collar, so it kind of makes me look like a priest. I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The one he hasn\u2019t been able to track down, however, is an extremely rare kit with a personal connection, made by his dad\u2019s company decades ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damian tells Vanity Fair that he personally has been collecting vintage kits for years, picking them up as souvenirs on the international shopping trips he and Avigail take. \u201cFor me personally, it\u2019s been a lifetime of soccer jerseys and football\u2014as I call it\u2014fandom,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve been trying to make the worlds collide for many&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10715,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6a5933c2d773e016e7d048d4\/16:9\/w_1280,c_limit\/1%20-%20Cover.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-gossip"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usnews-14267fa.ingress-comporellon.ewp.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
