Retired? Not quite. Our new Retired – Under New Management Walking Football t-shirt works two ways: for everyone who has retired from work, and for everyone who has retired from the running game and switched to Walking Football. The design features a female player, a male player and Walking Football referees and match officials, with bold lettering reading Retired, Under New Management and Walking Football. Smaller players and officials placed around the lettering complete the design.
Retired From Work? You’re Not the Boss Just Yet
When you retire, you think you’re finally your own boss. No alarm clock, no manager, and all the time in the world for hobbies, the garden, the grandchildren, holidays and as many games of Walking Football as you like. Then you step onto the pitch and the referee has other ideas. Break into a jog and the whistle goes. Retired? You’re just under new management.
It’s a great way to keep active too. The NHS physical activity guidelines for older adults recommend being active every day, and a weekly game of Walking Football with friends makes that easy.
Retired From the Running Game? Same Story
Not every Walking Footballer has finished work. Plenty have simply left the running game behind after years of 11-a-side, Sunday league or five-a-side, and found a new game that keeps the competition, the friendships and the banter going without the sprinting.
Whether your knees made the decision or you just fancied a game where the referee blows up for a jog, this design is for everyone who has made the switch – and for the fantastic officials who keep it all in order.
A Nod to the Walking Football Referees & Match Officials
Every game needs someone in charge, and in Walking Football that job is tougher than it looks. Referees and match officials keep a close eye on running, contact and the height of the ball, often while fielding good-natured questions about their eyesight. That’s why they feature front and centre on this design, flag up and whistle ready. If your club has a referee or match official who gives up their time every week, this t-shirt makes a fun thank-you gift, and a reminder to everyone of exactly who’s in charge.
- Ideal for anyone who retires & thought they were now their own boss, or Walking Football players who swapped 11-a-side for the no-running game. Are you now playing under new management? – The Walking Football Referee & Match Official! No Running please!
