Day 6: Your Oldest Shirt
Have posted this before, but it's my 1986 Cadiz CF shirt, from the first season that future Raith Rovers player, manager and Hall of Famer Antonio Calderon played for his hometown club.

Day 5: A City You Love
This has to be a city I've been to every year since 2014 (except COVID): Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture, home to Iwaki FC.

Day 4: Your Most Colourful/Jazzy Shirt
Again, I couldn't choose one, so here are two - upsurprisingly both from the J.League in the mid-1990s.
Jubilo Iwata goalkeeper shirt, seemingly modelled on a World War 1 dazzle ship;
Sanfrecce Hiroshima home template

Day 3: Your Most Obscure Shirt
Not obscure to any Raith Rovers supporter over the age of 35, granted, but this is an Akranes shirt from the mid-90s, from the Icelandic league. This is the shirt Akranes wore when Raith Rovers played them in the UEFA Cup in 1995.

I do feel for Iwaki coach Yuzo Tamura. With a small budget, he's kept Iwaki in J2 for 2 & a half seasons with exciting, expansive football. But every transfer window, his squad gets dismantled. Iwabuchi + Arita season before last; Teruyama + Saga last summer; Arima + Tachikawa in winter; now this.

Tamura - for reasons known only to himself - decided to take off one of our centre-backs today in a like-for-like substitution in the 88th minute 🤯 Can only assume the boy was carrying an injury, because otherwise that's just daft when you're trying to see out a 2-1 lead against a relegation rival.

There are bikes at Futaba Station, just north of Fukushima Dai'ichi, which can be rented with a 100 Yen coin... 🤔😅
