Three brothers from Orlando, originally from Argentina, have turned their lifelong passion for soccer into a thriving mobile business. Thomas, Bautista, and Mateo Tapper founded Golden Era Kits, which showcases rare retro jerseys from international soccer history.
Local Support
During a recent match in St. Petersburg, the brothers’ unique jersey showcase captivated both casual onlookers and die-hard fans. Local supporter Matt Sprinkle praised the vibrant tournament atmosphere, emphasizing the importance of supporting independent creators.
The brothers’ main focus is on sourcing rare retro apparel from various resellers and carefully repairing the garments. Their concept began as a simple passion project at a local farmer’s market and has since grown into a business with an impressive inventory of over 7,000 unique items.
Expanding Across Florida
The brothers have taken their pop-up shop to fans across Florida, including St. Petersburg, to capitalize on the World Cup excitement. They have also traveled to group stage matches in Dallas and Kansas City, describing the experience as a beautiful way to unite diverse groups of global fans.
