Picked up this beautiful @MacronSports @NFFC home shirt from the club shop online for a bargain £20. It’s beautiful and the hands sanitiser in the package is a lovely (but a very 2021!) touch. Cheers 🍻

Thanks @Sammy_George8 for the shout
Beyond the great fit, and classic @MacronSports design that riffs off the @umbro 76-77 design here, I've wanted to get my hands on a @NFFC shirt for a little while...

#NFFC #Forest
The club is steeped in English football history, having worn the crimson red since its founding in 1865. The colour was chosen in honour of Garibalidi's Italian redshirts who had fought to unify that nation in 1861. The red is said to have influenced @Arsenal & @Independiente
The club is also famous for winning two consecutive @ChampionsLeague 🏆(79 & 80) under the tuteledge of legendary manager #BrianClough. The first of these is covered expertly in #JonnyOwen's excellent I Believe In Miracles film. (cc @Vicky_McClure )

The minimalist tree design of the crest is I feel one of the most iconic and beautiful in #EnglishFootball... introduced in 1974 after graphic designer David Lewis won a club led competition to design a new one in 1973.
