Acne Studios Replica Football Kit

Acne Studios has launched an unique and striking £360 mock football shirt that challenges traditional sports attire with its high-fashion design. Known as an “appliquéd logo-print striped mesh T-shirt,” the shirt combines the aesthetic of a football jersey with a luxury twist, featuring the label’s name across the chest where a sponsor’s logo typically sits. The design draws inspiration from the colors of Malmö’s football team, showcasing a pastel hue popularized by Acne’s creative director, Jonny Johansson, who is famously known for introducing “millennial pink” into fashion.

The shirt is part of a broader trend where the world of high fashion embraces the stylings of ’80s and ’90s football, with other luxury brands like Balenciaga and Gucci also exploring sports-inspired collections. This Acne Studios piece stands out by blending vintage and contemporary elements effectively, using its satin fabric and intricate jacquard patterns decorated with blooming flowers. The mix of thin and thick stripes, along with a refined color-way of light, rosy pink and off-white, adds a distinctive flair that transcends typical sports gear, making it an unique piece rather than just functional sportswear. This innovative approach to sports fashion underscores designer brands, like Acne Studios, continued influence within sports and high fashion, highlighting a trend that merges athletic sportswear with designer esthetics.

“Invincible” Queens Park Ladies

The Queens Park Ladies under-12s have made a historic run in the Bournemouth Youth Football League, claiming the title of “invincibles” by finishing the season undefeated in a boys’ league. Dominating their division with 18 wins, four draws, and no losses, they outscored their competition by netting 61 goals and conceding only 11. This remarkable achievement placed them 16 points clear of the second-placed team, and for the first time in Bournemouth youth football history, guaranteed a boys title for an all girls team.

Despite initial pushback from county FA officials who wanted the team in a girls’ competition, the Queens Park Ladies proved they could compete and excel in the boys’ league. This victory was sealed with a decisive 3-0 win against Lymington Town, making them champions of the boys division. As they prepare to move up to the under-13s second division next season, the Queens Park Ladies continue to inspire young girls everywhere to play and compete for the game they love.
