As a bit of a cap connoisseur, I’ve always been disappointed with the dearth of hat options for soccer fans. Outside of the standard hats offered in most club shops and online retailers, the selection of premium Premier League caps is dire. I’m talking about stylish caps, like the ones popular here in the States […]

in review: campo retro’s stadio no team colors shirt
One of the most visible, though well-liked aspects of the inevitable march towards the corporatization of modern football is the ritual of clubs and countries providing their fans with new kits each and every season. Though a reliable revenue stream for both gear producers and clubs alike, it often pushes both to offer increasingly crazy […]
the road not taken
If you’re reading this and you’re from the United States, odds are you’re familiar with Robert Frost’s quintessential American poem, “The Road Not Taken”. It’s pretty much law here that you are to memorize it at dome point during your schooling. Ask your average American their favorite poem, and if they can produce one, odds […]
pic of the week 12/22-12/29
So I normally try to get my “Pic of the Week” posts up on Mondays, and I had high hopes to do so this week as well. But I’m bending the rules on this one, and for good reason. You see, last week was a very special week at the WSOTP world headquarters… Pictured above on the left: […]
the WSOTP x Campo Retro cheer up a spur holiday giveaway
With it being the holiday season and all, despite Tottenham being in complete and utter turmoil, I have to admit I’m still feeling the holiday spirit. I know not all of my fellow Spurs supporters are feeling so festive, the gloom dimming all of the bright holiday lights. So I thought I’d do something to […]
judging from afar
Sometimes I really wish I was a full-time journalist. You know, the type that works for one of the major media outlets and possesses an exponentially larger amount of clout than I currently posses. I’d be lying if I said the prestige and benefits of such a position weren’t some of the many reasons I’d […]
pic of the week 11/18-11/24
A warm welcome back to the semi-regular Pic of the Week after a month’s absence on the blog. However, if the picture above makes you feel like you’ve accidentally stumbled into a Monty Python movie, worry not… this week’s picture is actually soccer related. The moose in the picture is actually a forlorn Swedish national team fan, […]
i want: 1994 stars by bumpy pitch
As I’ve said more times on this blog than I could even count, the 1994 World Cup here in the United States was a seminal moment in my life. Just 12 years old at the time, I completely immersed myself in the World Cup and the US national team in a way that I was […]
in review: storelli exoshield headguard
By its nature, soccer isn’t a sport that lends itself to the development of new equipment. As the saying goes, all you need to play soccer is a ball and an open space. And while that’s not exactly true when playing at any organized level, it’s still not too far off. Outside of a pair […]
pic of the week 9/30-10/6
Often times, picking a “Pic of the Week” is a snap: one ridiculous picture will go viral in the previous week, making it the obvious choice. But occasionally, there are several pictures that I’d be more than happy to see take the prize. Such was the case this week, as I nearly went with a […]
