ADMIRAL SPORTSWEAR X MAKITA
Football isn't just about what happened on the pitch - it's about what people carry with them afterwards. The memories, the pride, the legacy.
Admiral Sportswear and Makita have come together to celebrate a chapter of football history that deserves to be remembered. Inspired by the Makita International Tournament, this collaboration pays tribute to an era when summer football under the Wembley lights brought together Europe's biggest clubs, iconic kits and unforgettable moments.
Built on shared values of heritage, craftsmanship and authenticity, every detail has been designed to honour the past while creating something that will become part of it.
LEGACY IS FOREVER.
A limited collection of just 150 shirts has been created. Secure yours through Admiral Sportswear while they're still available.
THE HISTORY OF THE MAKITA INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT
Before pre-season tours became global spectacles, there was the Makita International Tournament.
Between 1989 and 1994, some of Europe's biggest clubs travelled to Wembley Stadium to compete in a summer tournament that earned its place in football history. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and European heavyweights shared the stage during an era of iconic kits, packed terraces and unforgettable football culture.
More than three decades later, the tournament remains a snapshot of a unique moment in the game. This collaboration pays tribute to that legacy - not by recreating the past, but by celebrating it through a modern collectible inspired by one of football's forgotten classics.
Created in collaboration with Admiral Sportswear, every detail of the shirt has been designed with the Makita International Tournament in mind.
• A bespoke Makita FC crest, created exclusively for this collaboration.
• The iconic Makita teal takes centre stage, inspired by decades of heritage.
• A premium rubberised Admiral logo, celebrating one of football's most recognisable sportswear brands.
• Six stars beneath the tournament logo, representing each edition of the Makita International Tournament.
• Classic design cues inspired by the bold, unmistakable shirts of late 80s and early 90s football.
This isn't a remake of a shirt from the past. It's a tribute to an era that shaped football culture, created for those who remember it, and for those discovering its story for the first time.
