Always. You don't and the collars lose their shape. Polo shirts originated from the 60's and the top button was always done up. Here's a good example from the 70's.

 

Looks ace to me. 

 

Only children leave their top button undone.

To be fair only kids should wear football shirts to matches, have noticed in last few years it tends to be provisional clubs such as your Leicester's, Southampton's, Norwich's etc that have fanbases that wear replica shirts on mass, also Liverpool, Arsenal and City, are fully paid up members of the replica shirt brigade, thankfully our support mainly adopts the view that I grew  up with that you wear your best gear to a game.

Football has always had strong links with fashion and music.

Always liked the Umbro and Adidas designs better.

Le coq sportif was the best shirt producer we ever had.

I detect a button schism. This is serious, communities have broken up over less.

Can tell you aren't from England and understand the Mod culture.

Can tell you're from England sentimentalising a long lost subculture when the rest of the world has moved on, leaving England with its false sense of a glorious past far behind 

If having the top button done up on your polo shirt is uncomfortable you’ve bought a size too small and you must have disillusions about your size.

I’ve not bought a football since 2012 and it was a Rangers one. That white one is a definite buy for me, strange that our home top is woeful yet the away one is stunning

long lost subculture? Guessing you've never visited England either.

More times than I can remember. Never seen anything Moddy. Totally irrelevant today. The reluctance to admit something is in the past is typically English.

Far from the truth, in fact Mod culture has had a huge resurgence in the last 5 years or so. There are other cities than London in England.

How odd to assume I've only visited London. You sound like an American claiming he loves Yurp when he's only been to Paris. I've been to all corners of England, and to Scotland and Wales. The importance you attach to a subculture you enjoy does not mean it's relevant or widespread.

Equally irrelevant, the one in your country as well as the one in mine  Like those mods, just something to study (reporters, historians, sociologists, anthropologists, what have you) to justify their jobs, and thereby creating the illusion of importance and relevance of the subject matter. A self enhancing system.

And those buttons should still be open.

Cup final special edition I hope mate 

Nice shirt, quality reveal but I hate collars on football shirts, sorry! It’s just not for me, it’s not practical and pretty uncomfortable to wear. That’s what disappointed me about the below one which was a beautiful top bar the collar. Much preferred last seasons!

Either you don't live in this country or have no idea of fashion or football culture, now I was never a mod not born for the original 60's and the late 70's revival only about 10 so again fashion hadn't really hit me, my era was early/ mid 80's when the casual scene arrived, which was an upgrade from the fashion conscious mods of the time. Nowadays the two fashions have merged Into one a bit, but go to football these days, especially Chelsea and you will see old gits like me or the younger lot dressed in their Fred Perry's, Lyle and Scott, fila, tachini's or Lacoste. The ones that look out of place these days are the shirters unless kids of course, but to say mod is irrelevant is nonsense, it's because of that and the latter casual scene is  big part why the world is obsessed with designer brands these days, whether that's good or bad who knows, but definitely not irrelevant. Anyway I'm off to decide what to wear for Reading away next Sunday, is it Fred Perry polo, or my fila or Lacoste. UTC

The more people think they need to emphasise their point, the less important it clearly is

Mod, Soul, Scooters is huge in England at the moment, and has been growing for the last 15 yrs year on year.. The away kit is tapping into that.
Are you American ?, if not you just don't know better, if you are, well culture of any sort really isn't your forte is it now  !!
