nss shopping guide: 8 pre match jacket for the Autumn

Autumn has begun a few days ago and we start thinking about the wardrobe update, taking a look at some of the warmer clothes to put on the t-shirt. There is a perfect garment for this time of year, seen on the soccer fields and increasingly contaminated by streetwear fashion: the pre-match jacket, the suit jacket worn when the players take the field for warm-up before the kick-off.

The pre-match jerseys, also called anthem jackets due to the fact that they also use the moment of the national anthems during the International matches, in the last few years they have acquired more and more importance from the brands, which seem to focus more and more based on the fantasies adopted by the match jerseys. The strongest attribute of these garments is certainly their personality: these jackets smell of asphalt, they are perfect alternatives to football shirts for soccer matches in winter on makeshift pitches and have that typical street bully. Among the most beautiful of the 2019/2020 season, here are the eight that must be bought immediately.
