— Elevens – Football T-shirts

Elevens are a new range of t-shirts from London based designer James Greenfield. Celebrating hypothetical all-time best XI’s of various football clubs and countries, they have been conceived as a cult alternative to the replica strip. The shirts are printed on heavy cotton Gildan shirts in the UK. Their design owes a debt of inspiration to the fan forums and pundits who regularly debate their respective clubs all-time, dream line-ups.

New club shirts released this week are Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Spurs. The Machester United one also comes in a Newton Heath colourway as a stand of solidarity for the Anti Glazer campaign. A donation of £5 from each Newton Heath shirt will go directly to the MUST campaign.

Also released are two England shirts in time for the World Cup. The home strip features a dream team England all time XI, an almost impossible task to pick and sure to cause some debate. The away version features the famous team that lifted the Jules Rimmet in 1966. Here’s hoping they repeat it this year, of course if you’re English.

All shirts are $25/£16 and can be bought directly from http://gradiate.supermarkethq.com
