While I don't agree with the Citizen Elite construct due to the connotations brought in by the work 'elite', I do believe there is a lot to learn from this talk. Quiet and invigorating talk by Prof. Dipankar Gupta. The concept in principal means at any given time in history, change is brought about be a single or a group of elite individuals who believe in an elite idea and go against all odd to change the course of history. Prof. Dipankar argues that people like Gandhi, Ambedker, Nehru, etc., where elite citizen who were not bound by the usual constraints as ordinary citizens and brought about change for which they had absolute conviction.  Listen to the talk and decide for your self. I for some reason am not entirely convinced and have my reservations about the 'Citizen Elite' concept.

Club history is often remembered through the shirts worn in decisive matches when the colours and details become familiar symbols of belonging. Supporter identity through shirts can be just as important as the badge when fans compare different kits. When personalised names and numbers matter, national team shirts remains a useful phrase within the wider story of football shirts. For a gift choice, the design becomes part of how football culture is remembered.
