PUMA launches Who Gives a Shirt, a new five-part podcast series hosted by former professional footballer Jack Fowler and content creator Kimberley Cumberbatch.
Each episode features expert guests ranging from designers and dedicated supporters to sports historians, uncovering the stories, memories and meaning woven into football shirts, as well as innovations in design, materials and sustainability that reflect PUMA’s commitment to a FOREVER.BETTER.
"I’m genuinely so excited to be co-hosting this podcast and diving into the amazing stories behind football shirts. It’s wild to see how something as simple as a shirt can mean so much to people, forming part of their identities and core memories"- Jack Fowler
Kerstin Neuber, Senior Director Corporate Communications at PUMA, said: “Football shirts are powerful symbols of fandom, yet their environmental impact is not widely explored. With Who Gives a Shirt, we celebrate their cultural and historical significance while highlighting the designs shaping the future of sportswear. It’s about honoring tradition while driving the game, and the industry, forward in a responsible way.”
Who Gives a Shirt builds on the foundation of PUMA’s Green Flags podcast, continuing to explore the role of sustainability in sport and fashion. While the series celebrates the cultural significance of football shirts, it also considers their environmental impact.
Through its FOREVER.BETTER. platform, PUMA contributes to industry dialogue around more responsible production methods – highlighting innovations such as their RE:FIBRE textile-to-textile recycling initiative, which helps reduce textile waste by giving old garments and factory off-cuts a second life in new products.
