The Fashionable Superstar
Kanye West, the global superstar known for his fashion choices, has once again caught the attention of fans with his latest outfit. The 46-year-old rapper and fashion mogul took to Instagram to share a selfie wearing a retro Portsmouth goalkeeper shirt from the 1996-97 season. With over 18 million followers, West often showcases his unique style on social media.
A Puzzling Choice
Fans were left puzzled as to how West managed to get his hands on such a rare jersey. One fan even questioned the origins of the shirt, asking, "How has Kanye West got his hands on a 1996/7 Pompey goalkeeping kit, worn only once in the FA cup quarter finals against Chelsea, and has only 2 photos on the entire Internet (now 3)?" Another fan jokingly wondered if West would soon make an appearance in Portsmouth itself.
A Nod to Portsmouth Legend
The Portsmouth Football Club, fondly known as Pompey, also shared West's photo on their social media accounts. The shirt was previously worn by Portsmouth legend Alan Knight, who played for the club from 1978 to 2000. Knight playfully commented on West's post, saying, "@kanyewest can I have my shirt back please buddy. PUP," referring to the club's slogan "Play Up Pompey."
A Football Fanatic
This is not the first time that West has been spotted wearing football gear. In 2018, he donned a Manchester United jacket, showcasing his support for the English club. Earlier this season, he made fans curious when he attended Tyson Fury's fight with Francis Ngannou wearing a mystery retro shirt. West's fashion choices continue to captivate and surprise his followers.
