Collar me Bad

Collar me Bad | The head of the jersey

The football shirt (soccer jersey) has certain things in common with a traditional dress shirt.

The bottons are absent but the collar is there at least those times when a high collar is chosen.

The crew neck and the v-neck do not quite resemble the dress shirt that much but they do point to the importance of the collar as a signiture feature of the jersey.

Lets move on towards the v-neck. or almost a v-neck. does have a bit of a crew feeling to it but strictly speaking it is probably what one would consider a V.

Hybrids are not only present when it comes to cars. Also when it comes to collars. This collar from Joma seems like a hybrid between the high collar and the v-neck collar.
