For music enthusiasts, the impending summer season is synonymous with festivals: dance, rock, electronic - there's something for everyone. The most famous festivals have already started ticket sales, following the disappointing outcome of last weekend's Coachella. Now that the show-off moment of the Californian music event may have run its course once and for all, it's time to be captivated by the allure of upcoming festivals, not forgetting the charm of Glastonbury or Rolling Loud. Choosing an outfit that is as comfortable and functional as it is suitable for enjoying live performances with rich line-ups is not easy: football jerseys certainly present a valid alternative, not only being the perfect garment to express one's freedom at a festival - a moment of carefreeness but above all, of sharing.
The fact that football jerseys have become a common item in wardrobes - and therefore increasingly popular among festival-goers - hasn't been welcomed by everyone with great pleasure. Last year - while Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings was exchanging his colorful shirt with a fan at Glastonbury - as reported by BBC, Radio 1 banned football jerseys from the three-day festival, Radio 1 Big Weekend. The reason was very simple: a festival that aims (beyond its purpose) to create an inclusive environment cannot allow football jerseys as they could potentially create friction among attendees. Such lenient restrictions certainly won't be enough to stop the spread of jersey culture, especially in the context of music festivals: for this reason, nss sports' guide comes to your support to advise you on which jerseys to wear for this summer's major music events.
Glastonbury - Pilton
Thundercat Wrexham Merchandising
Despite Glastonbury losing much of its identity over the years (just take a look at the line-up for the next edition), it will remain one of the festivals that best encapsulated British music culture, shaping generations of Britpop enthusiasts and more. We can't resist falling into clichés by recommending the purchase (unless you already have one in your wardrobe) of the Manchester City away jersey from the 1996/1997 season - if you prefer to immerse yourself in the perfect Oasis mood, visit your trusted hairdresser for a modcut before June 26. Alternatively, to stay on the British theme, the new merchandising of Thundercat takes inspiration from the jersey of the Welsh club now in the EPL League Two, Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds, who may have formed a connection with the Los Angeles artist.
Rolling Loud - Vienna
Rolling Loud is one of the most important festivals dedicated exclusively to hip-hop, and from July 5 to 7, it arrives in Europe at Ebreichsdorf, Vienna. Travis Scott, Gunna, Nicki Minaj, Playboi Carti will take the stage over the selected three days. As with other music events, Rolling Loud also calls for a well-thought-out outfit in line with its DNA. We can only recommend Corteiz RTW's jersey, born from a reality closely connected to the UK urban world and drawing inspiration from the shirt worn by the Colombian National Team at the 1990 World Cup.
Polifonic - Puglia
LC23 x Bari Special Jersey
How do the sea shades of Bari and the colors of Kappa uniforms for the US team at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics tell a story? Starting from silver, red, optical white, and blue. The jersey launched by Leo Colacicco of LC23 - the special kit of the Apulian team that had already sported 4 shirts this season - nods to the United States and the internationality of the artists who will perform at Polifonic.
We Love Green - Paris
Ti Amo Paris Jersey
Paris in June is not only synonymous with Fashion Week but also with We Love Green, a festival featuring Justice, Burna Boy, SZA, Kaytranada, Skepta, Troye Sivan, and many more. To best honor the experience offered by the City of Light, the most romantic city in the world, the Ti Amo Paris t-shirt created by nss can add value your outfit.
Primavera Sound Festival - Barcelona
Acne Studios longsleeve
From May 29 to June 2, the first leg of the Primavera Sound Festival arrives in Barcelona: an event that heralds the arrival of summer in grand style, almost entirely female given the caliber of the artists who will take the stage, from Lana Del Rey to SZA, FKA Twigs, Charlie XCX, and Peggy Gou. So, bringing Scandinavian style to Spain is the way to go, wearing the pink and white longsleeve created by Acne Studios.
MI AMI - Milan
CCCP adidas Jersey
MI AMI officially kicks off on May 23 with the pre-concert of CCCP - Fedeli alla Linea, followed by a dense line-up of artists from the Italian indie pop scene, including Ex-Otago, Colapescedimartino, and Willie Peyote. To celebrate the return of the group inspired by Soviet punk that kicks off the highly anticipated event, the rare adidas jersey from the Soviet Union featuring the acronym CCCP (Central Committee of the Communist Party) is perfect for making a statement.
C2C - Turin
Juventus Jersey
In 2022, celebrating its twentieth anniversary, C2C renewed its brand identity: a new logo consisting of a winged figure representing the urgency of putting the future of bodies back at the center, their freedom, the need for aggregation, dance, and listening education. After the success of the last edition, we are preparing in advance for the Turin stage from October 31 to November 3: if you intend to choose what to wear at C2C well in advance, a Juventus jersey from the 2017/2018 season is what you need. The choice of the jersey's season is not random: it is the first for the Bianconeri club with the current modernized logo, bearing more than a few similarities to that of C2C, from colors to minimalism, two logos that have inaugurated new eras.
