In October 1863, a revision of the Cambridge Rules was published. Eleven representatives from London clubs and schools met at the Freemason's Tavern to set up common fundamental rules to control the matches amongst themselves. The outcome of this meeting was the formation of the Football Association. In December 1863, the Rugby Football and Association Football finally split as the supporters of the Rugby School rules walked out.

Arguably the most significant change of law ever was the ban in 1871 on all forms of handling, which meant that the ball in play could only be kicked or headed (the ball is technically out of play while a throw-in is completed). In the following year, the goalkeeper was introduced and was allowed to handle the ball "for the protection of his goal." When it was ruled in 1877 that the throw-in could go in any direction, the Sheffield FA clubs agreed to abandon their rules and adopt the FA version.

The first international football game was played between Scotland and England on 30 November 1872 at Hamilton Crescent, The West of Scotland Cricket Club's ground in the Patrick area of Glasgow. It ended in a 0–0 draw and was watched by 4,000 spectators.

Shirts appeared first in European dress in the seventeenth century as a kind of underwear, designed to protect expensive waistcoats and frock coats from sweat and soil. By the early nineteenth century, shirts had assumed importance as garments in their own right. The emphasis placed by Beau Brummell and other dandies on wearing clean, perfectly styled linen brought the shirt into increased prominence as an essential male garment.Traditionally dress shirts were worn by men and boys, whereas women and girls often wore blouses or, sometimes, known as chemise. However, in the mid-1800s, they also became an item of women's clothing and are worn by both sexes today.

The exact origin of the polo shirt is unknown, but its widely recorded début came in the late 19th century in the birthplace of Polo - Manipur, India. After British Soldiers witnessed a match while stationed in Manipur, they set up the first polo club of its time. The sport grew in popularity with the British Army and British tea planters in India becoming regular players. Attention soon turned to their polo playing kit with traditional attire of the time consisting of thick, long sleeved shirts made of cotton. Unhappy with these uncomfortable shirts, they attached their collars to their shirts with buttons to stop them flapping while galloping on the field. The sport was introduced into England in 1862.

Brazilian leather has long been renowned for its quality. As a matter of fact, the material was durable to be adopted by makers of official footballs, as it could withstand powerful kicks and all sorts of weather conditions. The durable and traditional theme emitted by quality Brazilian leather is why we chose it as the material for our logo, adding a touch of class to each of our items.
