After the 'carpet' jersey worn by Rostov last season, here is another clamorous football shirt from Russia: Volga Ulyanovsk, a team that plays in one of the Russian third division, played with a celebrative kit inspired by Lenin's birthday, the Soviet revolutionary and politician born in Ulyanovsk on April 22nd, 149 years ago.

Yellow and black as usual, the shirt depicts a young Lenin (whose first name is Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) in the guise of a goalkeeper and was worn in the match won 1-0 against Chelyabinsk. The sales proceeds of this shirt, which we are sure will become a must-have for collectors, will go to charity.
