FA Sunday Cup Winners Home Bargains FC Wear Bayern München Kit

Liverpool-based amateur club Home Bargains FC recently secured the FA Sunday Cup, lifting English grassroots football's most prestigious trophy following a tense penalty shootout victory. While their achievement on the pitch is highly commendable and marks a massive milestone for the club, the team has also caught the eye of the wider football community for a completely different reason. Beyond their recent cup triumph, the side has gained viral attention for their incredibly unique and varied history of matchday kits.

Most recently, they won the FA Sunday Cup wearing Adidas Bayern Munich home shirts. A closer look at the kits worn by the club seems to confirm, however, that they did not get official kits but counterfeit shirts (Adidas logo too small, missing sponsor, bad application of Three Stripes).

Football kit enthusiast Phil Delves highlighted the club on social media, describing their kit history as completely "unrivalled" in the amateur game. Instead of utilizing the standard, off-the-peg teamwear templates typically seen at the Sunday league level, Home Bargains FC has built a reputation for wearing a fascinating rotation of old professional club and international jerseys. Over recent seasons, their on-pitch wardrobe has proudly included recycled shirts from AC Milan, Olympique Lyonnais, Atalanta, and the Netherlands national team.

While grassroots clubs generally purchase blank template kits from major sportswear brands and apply local business sponsors, opting for a mismatch of iconic, heavily branded professional shirts is a rare choice.
