DESCRIPTION:The right clothing can help boost performance\, but it’s not just about the kinetic: it’s about the aesthetic. \nFor one weekend\, visitors can sport cutting edge sportswear technology – and look good whilst doing so – with the return of PitchFest\, the museum’s retro shirt festival. \nOn Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April\, the Pitch Gallery will be awash with jerseys\, courtesy of The Shirt Collectors. Yard Ball will remain in the line-up\, providing a space to test those new threads\, while Grassroots XL will be on hand to snap trading card-style portraits of the museum’s younger stars.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Jules Rimet Trophy
DESCRIPTION:The National Football Museum is proud to have the Jules Rimet Trophy on display…but do you know what happened to the original? \nWith the 60th anniversary of the theft fast approaching\, our expert interpreters will be reliving the story of the Jules Rimet Trophy for our visitors in a very special Pitch Gallery talk. \nFind out how the trophy was stolen from a stamp exhibition in Westminster\, the bungled attempt at securing a ransom\, and the silverware’s eventual discovery by a border collie named Pickles. \nBut that’s not all. You can also learn more about the replica itself: why it was created\, where it was used\, and what happened when FIFA found out about its existence! \nJoin us for a fascinating 30-minute talk about one of our most storied objects\, taking place on Friday 20 March at 11am and again at 2:30pm.
