Football shirt templates have been around for ages and are super influential, even if some people don't always love them.

The Kitbliss 100 Greatest Football Shirt Templates looks at the best examples, presenting blog posts every few weeks, counting down from 100 to 1.

Each post will dig into the important detail, assessing a wide range of different versions that make each template exceptional. Hopefully, you'll find some new templates you've never seen, or maybe just look at old ones differently!
