From the first design doodles to final manufacturing, we unpack the timelines, the tricky business of pricing, and how sustainability plays a part in every stitch. Plus, we spill the tea on sponsorship deals, colour choices, and the eternal debate: red or black shorts?

Whether you’re a kit nerd or just love seeing the Golden Boys look sharp, this episode’s got something for you.
