Most brands build for the obvious crowd - Messi replica/fake jerseys, Ronaldo shirts etc.
I am building for all football fans. For example, am working on this tribute jacket for @Flamengo_en @Flamengo fans 🇧🇷
Remembering Zico and the champion team. Legends.
Some football culture introduced to the gym.
Tired of the same of Hustle / Grind gymwear. Time to bring in some culture to the mix.
Joga Bonito 🇧🇷⚽️
I’m building something special for football die hards at finalthirdfc.com

I’m building for the fans who’re counting down days and hours until their team kicks off.
Fans who’re up at ungodly hours, in the dark, quietly cheering on their team without waking up the neighbors.
For those of you who’re canceling plans just to make sure the 90 min window is distraction free.
I’m building for you. Give me a follow. Won’t regret it.
As I build finalthirdfc.com one important strategic decision I’ve made is to keep the quality and the story behind each product at the heart of everything.
It’s really easy to sell cheap t shirts with some graphic print on it. But what I’m building is quality products with a deep deep story behind each of them.
The story is for you - the true fan.
Check it out here. Give me a follow for more.
There’s a place for the logo filled jerseys. I own about 50 sets of jerseys of my club.
But also, there’s a place for high fashion, streetwear that reps your passion. That’s what I am building. Same passion for football. Same passion for club and country. But things you’ll be proud to wear.
Follow and DM if you have thoughts
If you are a football fan and “only watch the World Cup” every four years ..
Or have more than one team that’s “your” team …
Or only buy Messi shirts even if you don’t follow the team ..
I am not building for you 😏Do not follow or like
If you see football not just for the score line.
If you know more about the number 6 than any of the big name strikers.
If you pride yourself in knowing deep details of football history.
I am building for you. Give me a follow for some truly memorable football apparel that you’ll be proud to rep.
Football is life.
1/ For football's first decade, "tactics" didn't exist. One player dribbled at the entire opposition while ten teammates chased behind him.
Then in 1872, Scotland played England — and quietly invented the concept of the pass.
Read on .. also, follow for real football stuff ⚽️🧵
6/ From dribbling vs passing, everything else follows: formations, midfields, positional play, pressing. Every tactical idea in football descends from the Scottish side of that argument.
7/ I wrote the full story — the philosophy war, the formations, why England resisted for decades — as a paid essay in my newsletter. The free stuff is here too, weekly: finalthirdfc.substack.com
I also make premium football apparel. Details in bio.
1/ Football was invented in a pub.
Six meetings, 44 days, one walkout that created an entirely different sport — this is what actually happened at the Freemasons' Tavern in 1863.
🧵
7/ The genius of 1863 wasn't the specific rules. It was making football simple enough to export: two teams, a ball, no hands. Within a decade, Scotland and Wales had founded their own associations on the FA code. The game was designed to travel.
8/ Every offside flag, every clean tackle, every tactical argument you've ever had traces back to that pub.
I write a free newsletter on how football's history became its culture — this is essay #1 of the series: finalthirdfc.substack.com
