Street Soccer launches 'Hope' jersey to fund homelessness support

Street Soccer has released its first collaborative football shirt, pairing Glasgow textile studio Timorous Beasties with sportswear maker O'Neills to raise funds for people affected by homelessness. The wavey design uses the 'Berkeley Blooms' print — psychedelic florals and tangled vines woven around a classic vertical stripe — and is finished with a floral Street Soccer shield crest, white and navy collar and sleeve trims, and an embroidered Timorous Beasties hem tag.

The word 'Hope' sits front and centre as the shirt's sponsor, reflecting a theme that has run through Street Soccer’s work over its 17-year journey. The charity runs more than 60 free, inclusive football drop-in sessions a week across London and Scotland and provides specialist mental health support; its sessions have given 94 percent of players a sense of belonging and 80 percent now say they have hope for the future.
