Following the success of last years NTRNTNL collection, Stussy have continued to develop their fusion of streetwear and football as they present the Team Stussy Jersey as part of their Summer 2015 collection.
Last years World Cup saw a spate of football inspired designs from several streetwear brands in celebration of the event, including Stussy who utilised some of their classic graphics and combined them with themes from on and off the pitch. Elaborating further on the idea, Stussy offer up 3 kits in black, white and blue colour ways, which include matching shorts for each top. The retro inspired jerseys arrive in long sleeve and have been constructed from a shiny polyester, reworking the USA national football teams logo which has been embroidered into the chest. Further details include Stussy sponsorship, small gold branding on the front, elasticated cuffs and a large 35 on the back to celebrate the brands 35th year anniversary.
I personally feel as though the whole football jersey thing has been a bit played out over the past year or so, with every other brand seemingly jumping on the band wagon to produce their own iteration of a famous jersey. Although this Stussy release isn’t too far from what I’ve seen before, there was something that stood out to me about the design that set it apart. Stussy have put huge attention into the detail, from the collars, the material and techniques in the design, giving each piece a really authentic retro feel. A welcome addition to my summer wardrobe for sure.
You can pick up the Stussy Soccer Jersey’s at both Urban Industry and Flatspot now.
