    Denis, Gav and Les return to discuss representative games and the kits worn in them. You know the sort of thing; intra-league affairs, all-star games and unusual groupings of players that demand 'eleven' be despicted in Roman numerals. The kits used are often the very definition of templates, but every now and then something unique and special is created. Outro track is Teleseme by Steve Cobby (2015 Déclassé Recordings).

    John Devlin and the Superhoops may sound like a 70s prog-rock group, but our episode title refers to the forthcoming release by the godfather of illustrated football kit books, John Devlin. The man behind the essential True Colours tomes turns his attention to Queens Park Rangers in 'Hoops Through History', in which he is assisted by R's historian Chris Guy of @retroQPR.
