Collection: Sporting Nation

The man behind Sporting Nation is Tim, who got started by collecting vintage sports equipment primarily in the 1970's, as this was when Tim was first exposed to it growing up in a small country town.

" The pieces I collected and subsequently photographed remain a constant reminder to me of the integral role sport played in bringing together the whole community together and the social connections it creates"

A combination of discards scavenged for Op Shops and treasure retained by their former masters, each piece is a fond reminder of the integral role sport played across Australia in the the '60's - 90's and for many will evoke memories of the games, the experiences and the people themselves encountered on the field of play.
