🇨🇳 I've been collecting kits for 20 years, and this might just be the highlight.

As part of my trip to Guangzhou, I was invited to visit Chinese brand UCAN, one of my favourite kit suppliers, to film an ad! 🥲

Let's check out their work, explore the office & meet the team🧵

@MattDRFCshirts Inspired by one of the two DRFC shirts I own.... didn't think much of the original at the time but with the passage of time it's become very emblematic of the 00's. Great effort by Oxen to bring it into the 2020's.

@jimisee Delighted with this, Bart's a great guy and it's just so nice to have a compatriot playing in the league

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@ncfctomm It definitely makes sense if you can attend away matches, but for folk like me who sadly don't have the chance, it really feels like being left out in the cold. Nonetheless, it must have been a success last year considering they're doing it again this season.

It pains me to be critical, but Norwich are locking this shirt behind a £99 paywall by including it with a membership that is largely useless for so many fans that don't live near Norwich.

I know they're within their rights, but just sell it separately as a 4th shirt #OTBC #NCFC

[Norwich City FC @NorwichCityFC]

Memberships are now live for the 2026/27 season 🙌

✅ Priority ticket access
✅ Entry to exclusive club competitions
✅ Special edition members shirt

@ncfctomm If the actual away and third kits aren't as good I'll still feel scammed that they stuck the best of the lot in the membership plan

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@SallyJones143 @humanmale1984 I'm foreign and don't see the benefit of paying this much for 'the best chance'. Never been a member and never had trouble attending.

Shirts are expensive enough without gatekeeping them like this. I understand why they do it, but it's anti-consumer.

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@SallyJones143 @humanmale1984 It's only useful if you live in Britain and near a Championship ground. I can imagine many fans don't satisfy both criteria, at which point the membership fee is really just for the shirt.

I really do understand why the club does it, but this is not an equitable way of doing it

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@NovahSMG @knockemdownes I'm hoping it looks better IRL but it probably won't. Last year's looked bad in the promo, downright awful in the flesh 😵‍💫

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@humanmale1984 I understand why they do it, but it leaves a bitter taste, doesn't? I imagine that for most people who want it, it just doesn't make sense due to season ticket, living far away, etc.

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@knockemdownes Last year's Platinum shirt popped up as low as 30 quid. Which, for that shirt, is arguably still too much.

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@knockemdownes The membership doesn't offer anything else I can or want to use, so I'll grab the shirt second-hand if it ever gets listed somewhere cheap enough.

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@deeppaann As much as it doesn't make sense to have a team called Tanjong Pagar playing in Jurong, it'd be a real shame to lose a name + logo with such history. I hope they stick with it and build on what they have, rather than start from scratch.

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

Ah yes, the famed Bolton horny strawberry. Fantastic. Is this the most cursed sponsor EFL history? #BWFC

[Bolton Wanderers (P) @OfficialBWFC]

The finer details! 🪡

A huge thank you to our sponsors @Victorianplumb, @WhitesBeaco, @destinology and @Evologyparking for your continued support 👏💪

@LewisA_ncfc Wasn't a fan of the away shirt, but definitely our best Joma season

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

Joma misses way more than they hit for #NCFC, absolutely delighted to finally see a shirt actually worth buying #OTBC

[Footy Headlines @Footy_Headlines]

UPGRADE

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@aearland14ncfc I've got nearly the whole lot, but begrudgingly so. First two home shirts were great, but we've now had three awful ones in a row. Would love hummel or Kappa, honestly.

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@NorwichShirts Going to have to be a Vinted buy then. Shame though as it's good enough to be away/3rd 🔰

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

@RH_SGFT Underrated kit that 👌 I still wear the matching walk-out jacket they sold that season

[Club 25 - Football Shirt Collector @Club25Football]

At the start of the season I did want to attend a #NCFC promotion party. In a way, it did end up happening #OTBC
