Lyle & Scott x Lovers FC. Memories are Made.

Some shirts are more than shirts. They hold memories. They carry chants, last-minute winners, missed penalties, hugs from strangers. With 'Memories are Made', Lyle & Scott and Lovers FC have come together to celebrate football not just as a sport, but as a cultural force, one that lives in every stitch of a jersey.

This capsule is our tribute to the beautiful game, stitched with sentiment and style. Born from Lyle & Scott’s heritage in knitwear and Lovers FC’s obsessive passion for football culture, the collaboration reimagines classic 90s football shirts through a new lens, not printed polyester, but premium merino wool.

Football has long been part of Lyle & Scott’s DNA. Once the preserve of golf courses, our knitwear found a second home on the terraces in the 80s and 90s. Casuals made it their uniform. Matchdays became runways. And the eagle crest became a badge of the people.

It’s this deep connection that brought us to Lovers FC, a brand built from the archive of Neal Heard, author, brand consultant, and football romantic. Neal’s collection of shirts spans eras and continents, each one a portal to a different moment in football history. His love of the game is infectious, and it runs through every thread of this collaboration.

From the glory of Serie A in its heyday to the grit of British league classics, each of the six knit shirts in this drop tells its own story. The cuts feel modern, but the colour palettes and patterns are rooted in nostalgia, vibrant blocks, offbeat sponsors, and bold collars. But this time, they’re rendered in textures built to last. Not just to play in, but to live in.

Its knitwear made for the stands and the streets. Soft, substantial, with the kind of attention to detail that feels both old-school and entirely fresh. You won’t find logos slapped on for effect. Everything here is considered, crafted, and connected to the traditions that made football more than just a game.

Shot across terraces and alleyways, the campaign imagery leans into that lived-in energy. These aren’t museum pieces. They’re meant to be worn. To catch beer spills. To be part of the conversation.
Because football isn’t just about results. It’s about the moments in between. The memories. And with this collection, we’re giving those memories something new to wear.
