Some of you have been wondering why I'm taking so long to complete the '100 Greatest Shirt Templates' project. Let me explain... www.kitbliss.co.nz/blog/100gfst...

So I'm finally getting around to adding flags to the Kitbliss website. How's it looking? 🤔

In case you weren't aware, with every article I write for the 100 Greatest Templates series, there's also a gallery page showing as many kits as I could find. For No.33 (Adidas Equipe), I illustrated 31 kits that were all based on the same template. To see what they look like, visit bit.ly/3UwmQBf

UPDATE: I'm pleased to say that we now know the official name of the template that featured in yesterday's post. With thanks to Denis Hurley (@museumofjerseys.bsky.social), we can now refer to it as Adidas EQUIPE... www.kitbliss.co.nz/100gfst/033-...
