From Sir Geoff Hurst's World Cup Final hat-trick to Sergio Agüero's 2012 injury-time Premier League-winning strike, one brand has featured in more iconic footballing moments than any other. Double Diamond is the story of Umbro, an ever-present figure in the development of modern football and the sportswear industry.

Pretty Poly tells the story of the football shirt, charting its dramatic evolution over a 150-year period, from modest beginnings to a product at the centre of a billion-dollar industry. Packed with facts, figures and anecdotes, it uncovers the history embedded in every feature of modern-day strips, from necklines to namesets.
