Classic Football Shirts 'Messi Christmas' #19 Messi Argentina Christmas Jumper

Classic Football Shirts 'Messi Christmas' #19 Messi Argentina Christmas Jumper £39.99
The instantly recognisable Blue and White stripes of the Argentina national team featuring the GOAT himself Lionel Messi will have any football fan smiling on Christmas Day. The 'Messi Christmas' emblazoned down the front and the goat motif on the back are brilliant touches of detail.

Classic Football Shirts 'IN A Manger' #10 Totti AS Roma Christmas Jumper

Classic Football Shirts 'IN A Manger' #10 Totti AS Roma Christmas Jumper £39.95
The classic AS Roma jersey and their greatest player Francesco Totti are reimagined here as a festive jumper classic. What's not to love? The attention to detail is insane, the classic Kappa logo as Mary and Joseph, the Roma club wolf is replaced as a reindeer and the INA AssItalia sponsors logo is transformed to In A Manger - Genius.

Classic Football Shirts 'Feed the Goat' #10 Manchester City Christmas Jumper

Classic Football Shirts 'Feed the Goat' #10 Manchester City Christmas Jumper £39.95
Man City are struggling right now so this 'Feed the Goat' Shaun Goater inspired jumper will bring some 'pep' and festive cheer to any City fan. The crest is transformed into an angel, the 'Feed the Goat' with Goater's #10 and the Kappa logo as Mary and Joseph are all great details.

Classic Football Shirts 'Santa' #11 River Plate Christmas Jumper

Classic Football Shirts 'Santa' #11 River Plate Christmas Jumper £39.95
The vintage River Plate shirt with its Sanyo logo and Red sash get a Christmas transformation. Sanyo becomes Santa which is just brilliant and the Santa heads with candy canes make this Perfecto, as the Argentinians might say. I wouldn't know though, I don't speak Spanish. Anyway, Feliz Navidad.

Classic Football Shirts 'ELF' #10 Sampdoria Christmas Jumper

Classic Football Shirts 'ELF' #10 Sampdoria Christmas Jumper £39.99
I love this classic Sampdoria-inspired Christmas jumper. It's incredible, instantly recognisable, with the horizontal Red, White and Black stripe perfectly worked into a belt reminiscent of one of Santa's elves. The singing angels on either shoulder are again a touch of genius.

Classic Football Shirts 'King of Kings' #7 Larsson Celtic Christmas Jumper

Classic Football Shirts 'King of Kings' #7 Larsson Celtic Christmas Jumper £39.99
Saving the best until last – in my opinion anyway is the classic Green and White hoops of Celtic and the legendary Henrik Larsson. The Celtic goalscoring machine is known as the 'King of Kings' by the Parkhead faithful and this jumper comes with Larsson's #7 on the back and the Umbro shirt sponsor transformed into Crimbo.

You can also check out the entire collection over at Classic Football Shirts.
