Never a domestic rival. But I have a small collection of Italian teams shirts, always found them to be really classy looking.

My parents brought me the Milan home shirt 20 years ago this Christmas.

Other than that I had a cheap replica kit of Barcelona back in 1995

For me any foreign team is fine. If you purchase anything of another club in England though that is unacceptable.

Edit: forgot to mention, does anybody want to buy me that anniversary Dortmund kit for xmas?

dreams can't be buy
A family friend bought me a Blackburn shirt when they won the league.

Also some other family friends, an elderly couple, bought me a Juventus shirt when when went on holiday to Italy one year in the early 2000s.

Had loads back in the day, typical teenager where all my tops were jerseys. Had Atl Mardid, Real Madrid, Juventus, Club Universidad Nacional, Birmingham City, Coventry, Nottingham Forrest and loads of others. Anyone from Cork and went around the city (around 200 to 2006) would know of a shop called Football Crazy. He was a Tranmere Rovers fan so would always order in obscure leagues and jerseys. Spent buckets in there and broke my heart they closed down.

No, i only bought some United kits and an Argentina one (NTs are neutral, since every player from a nation can play for the club)

i do have some training pants of Ajax though, but i just bought it because it was cheap and it looks great

I am not counting some kits i got gifted, but none are from PL clubs anyway

Never bought another club’s shirt. But I am an official Arsenal fan club member. Visited London with one of my companies team. They were saving money and bought me a ticket through Arsenal fan club membership:)) I was not happy when learned that and then just forgot. I’m a MUTV subscriber but not United fan club member yet

Been living in the States for awhile and some years back my sister in law and her husband bought me a united shirt for my birthday. They made such a big production out of it thinking I would be made up. I had to be polite and accept it.
needless to say my manc neighbor wears it with pride.

What does that have to do with wearing the kit of a side you don't support?
For example, if you like Sterling and you want his shirt, but are a Manchester United fan, you end up buying an opposition teams kit.

Chelsea (the saviours of football) fan.

If you are an adult Manchester United fan and you buy & wear a Manchester City shirt, I would laugh and point at you.

Of course this is just my opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree.

Some people have a team they support and are also fans of certain players. Buying a kit of an opposing team because you like a certain player is not an awful thing to do. Christ you guys act like wearing a Manchester city shirt is going to end the world. It’s a fecking shirt with a players name you like on the back of it.

I got an FCB fridge magnet as a souvenir when I visited Camp Nou, but just a set of Utd shirts for me.

Absolutely not.

PSG have collaborated with Nike / Jordan and have some really impressive pieces out, which I simply cannot buy because, well, it's PSG adorned gear.

Although, to be fair, the last United Jersey I bought was the 2001/02 white / gold reversible one, so I'm well out the loop. Problem with football gear is, unless you're at a match or playing footy yourself, you're (I'm) not going to wear it at all, and even then, going to games wearing colours is something you (I) stopped doing by 14.

Loads. I had to get the Inter Milan black kit this season. I have a random collection of pink kits as well, Real Madrid, Juventus, Evian, Anderlecht, Hamburg.

Not that I wear any of them.
