JerseyBird were founded in 2019. They are a small clothing brand that "design and manufacture custom sports jerseys and apparel for teams, organizations, and companies".

JerseyBird's TikTok channel where they design shirts became popular in mid-2022, and their videos of custom football kits for teams like Argentina, Brazil, and Japan get up to 6 million views.

In early 2023, JerseyBird also designed a Philippines national team concept kit, which went viral - it attracted more than 300,000 likes and almost 3 million views. Now, probably after The Philippine Football Federation contacted JerseyBird, it becomes the nation's official Men's home shirt.
