Welcome to the first official episode of the Kit Nerd Corner podcast! We like to talk about soccer shirts. We spend a lot of time talking about soccer shirts and buying soccer shirts. The past two years have meant we’ve had more time to talk about and buy soccer shirts.

You can listen here or subscribe on Apple, Stitcher, or Spotify (more options coming soon).

In this, our debut episode, we meet our kit nerds, talk about how we got into soccer, talk about what the show is going to be about, and then dive into a bunch of interesting shirts that we’ve seen recently.
