| Bjorn Heidenstrom and the World’s Biggest Football Shirt Posted: 16 Oct 2009 08:28 AM PDT
He’s cycling from Oslo, Norway all the way down to Cape Town, South Africa, and collecting signed shirts along the way. He’s pictured above (right) taking possession of a signed shirt from Belgian club Mechelen, and has already collected many many more. “We are creating the world’s largest football shirt - a shirt and a symbol that is sewn together by the signed club-shirts,” Heidenstrom explains. The massive shirt will be sewn together before World Cup 2010 kicks off and will be a symbol of the football family and its solidarity with young refugees. Heidenstrom has been through the UK and Scandinavia and is now working his way down through mainland Europe. If you’re reading from outside of those areas (from the USA for example) then you can still add your signed shirt to the collection by mailing it to the address below. He’s not just after big name shirts either. Any signed shirt from any club will be form part of the big shirt in South Africa. Presumably even your Sunday league team. Just get your club to sign the shirt and then send it to The Shirt 2010 HQ at: The Shirt2010 Heidenstrom has also keeping a regularly updated (especially for a man who spends all day on a bike) blog at The Shirt 2010, where you can track his progress and see which shirts he has so far. |
