Epic evening #2 of talking about Women’s World Cup shirts. Okay, we’ll let you in on a secret: We recorded these in the same night. We got a bit punch-drunk, but damn it was worth it.

31 away shirts, Groups A through H, and we talked about every one.

And of course, images of all* the shirts we talk about are below.

* Okay, not all; but as with the homes, I’m just including the 31 World Cup shirts because this is a lot of work – Brenton
