'Kanye West, can I have my shirt back?' - Rapper bizarrely wears retro Portsmouth shirt with ex-Pompey No.1 Alan Knight poking fun at photo

Championship

Blackburn

Portsmouth

On Thursday the controversial rapper launched his new Yeezy Pods socks with an Instagram post, in which he was wearing a 90s <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/team/portsmouth/80jtkz2echk6yyyb9e2595cxr" target="_blank">Pompey</a> goalkeeper shirt. In response, the club's former number one Alan Knight took to Twitter to send a message to West.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/kanyewest?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kanyewest</a> can I have my shirt back please buddy. PUP 💙 <a href="https://t.co/98bWTFEYlt">pic.twitter.com/98bWTFEYlt</a>— alan knight (@alanknight11) <a href="https://twitter.com/alanknight11/status/1740480733917942117?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 28, 2023</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Knight <a href="https://twitter.com/alanknight11/status/1740480733917942117" target="_blank">tweeted</a> West's official X account and said: "Can I have my shirt back please buddy? PUP [Play up Pompey]."

WHAT ALAN KNIGHT SAID

This isn't the first time West has publicly shown off his love of vintage football gear. In the past he has been spotted donning Manchester United shirts and jackets, while in October he appeared to wear a Tottenham 2001/02 third shirt at the Tyson Fury v Francis Ngannou&nbsp;fight.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Eagle-eyed Portsmouth fans noticed that the Asics logo - the manufacturer of the shirt - looked different on West's shirt to the one Knight wore in the 90s. One supporter suggested that West was wearing a training version of the shirt rather than the match version.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">first team shirts were used for training at some point. The training badge stitched over the club crest. I have a couple and seen some others online.— Pompey shirts (@pompeyshirts) <a href="https://twitter.com/pompeyshirts/status/1740496083774751211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 28, 2023</a></blockquote>

DID YOU KNOW?

While West attempts to revive his career after a string of controversies, Portsmouth are flying high at the top of League One as they fight to return to the second tier after 12 years away. John Mousinho's side travel to Exeter City on Friday.
