    50: Goodbye to you all...
    Sep 10 2022
    After four years and fifty episodes of different kinds, The Kitbliss Podcast has finally reached the end of the line. We've almost run out of words on the subject of football design, but we're taking this one last opportunity to give you the benefit of our wisdom. You lucky people... 

    It's the return of the classic line-up with Chris Oakley being joined by Jay (from DesignFootball.com), John Devlin and Rich Johnson for the first time in two years! Together, they look at some of the topics that continue to get everyone talking and generally getting under everyone's skin. Will there ever be an end to the tidal wave of retro shirt designs? Will we ever see the return of two-year kit cycles? Would baselayers have been quite as well known if it wasn't for Jay? 

    There's also time for one last (better) attempt at a football kit quiz, a tying-up of many outstanding subjects and a look at the best of the templates mentioned so far in the 100 Greatest Football Shirt Templates series. No end to the amount of content crammed in, and hopefully a fitting end to The Kitbliss Podcast itself.

    49: Stripes!
    Apr 5 2022
    It's often been noted on The Kitbliss Podcast that certain teams in England and Wales can't help but turn their backs on tradition. Take those clubs that usually wear striped home shirts. Why do some of them switch to a plain shirt every few years, or wear a diagonal sash or something completely different? In this episode, Rich Johnson joins Chris Oakley to look at those teams who can't resist an occasional change, looking at the best striped shirts and the most interesting 'break with tradition' shirts.

    48: Les Motherby Interview
    Mar 15 2022
    In this, our third special episode that was originally recorded for Patreon followers only, Les Motherby is the guest to discuss his lifelong love of Hull City Football Club and their kit history.

    There are few people who know as much as Les when it comes to Hull's kits, which means he's just the right person to ask about *that* tiger print shirt from 1993-94, as well as the lesser-discussed follow-up from 1994-95. Is the 'Worst Shirt Ever' brigade focusing on the wrong target for their ire? Les gives his views...

    We also discuss Hull City Kits, the website Les has carefully and diligently put together over many years, and his exhibition of Hull shirts that formed part of the 2017 UK City of Culture celebrations. There's even time to put one vital matter to bed once and for all: Should Hull City wear striped shirts or plain shirts? Once again, Les tells it like it is...

    If you enjoy listening to this interview with Les Motherby, you'll be interested to know that he's gone on to create a podcast of his own with Denis Hurley and Gav Hope called The Football Kit Podcast. It's well worth a listen for news and opinion on all that's happening in the world of football kit design.
