For us however, this years efforts are even better thanks to their specificity, attention to detail and the range of options on offer. The phenomenon has died down in recent years but it could make a comeback this Christmas thanks to Classic Football Shirts' latest drop. The sweaters are based on specific jerseys from different seasons, rather than just a team's basic colours.

Wintery wordplay and festive puns replace shirt sponsors, brand logos and club badges, while the obligatory iconography that adorns Christmas jumpers is also present in abundance, with a few footballing twists added in.Their team have produced a set of the garments based on some of the best and most recognisable football jerseys of the last few decades, complete with star player names on the back. Now is the time to pick up your Christmas jumper before they’re all gone and you’re left with the same one as last year!

Classic Football Shirts have unveiled 15 fantastic Christmas jumpers based on iconic football shirts and players. Hats off to the design team for coming up with so many variations on the theme and incorporating so much football culture into the range in a novel way. References to the players themselves are also included, with some real creativity on show in the details. You can also find lots of other brightly patterned Christmas jumpers in many different styles to suit your needs. The novelty Christmas jumper trend arrived about ten years ago and for a while they were everywhere.
