The Smart Dresser Stadium Series Postcard collection campaign

Since June 2024, we have included a free stadium collector's card in the form of a postcard with every order from our online shop. On the front of each postcard, you can see an iconic stadium from Germany, from days gone by, of course. Football stadiums like the ones we love and often miss today. Hand-drawn by Gavin Parker Art & Design. The back contains all the important information, such as the year of construction and capacity. We change the stadium motif every month and would be delighted if you collected the postcards and had them all in 18 months. Of course, we only reveal which iconic stadium will be next on the first of each month. A little excitement is a must. The Smart Dresser - from the stands, for the stands.
