The design of our Oasis shirt is inspired by a bespoke shirt designed for Noel Gallagher to wear during a charity football match in 1996.

Our main sponsor, "Wonderwall", is modelled after the Oasis logo. Not to exclude Liam Gallagher, the embroidered badge features a tambourine (his oft-used instrument).

We've chosen 'Manchester Supersonics' for our fictitious football team, after the Oasis song "Supersonic" and their home city. Also from Manchester are the three stripes, representative of Manchester's three rivers.

On the left arm are the lyrics 'Where were you while we were getting high?' in a circular motif. On the back, the name Gallagher (which one? We'll leave you to decide) and the number 91—the year of Oasis' inception.

The shirt is made complete with the lyrics 'Don't look back in anger'.

The pitfalls of aging, summed up in type:

I pondered.
I... forgot what I came in for.

🚨New Design Alert🚨

Inspired by the indie rock/dance/electronic/psychedelic band in general, and their seminal 1991 album "Screamadelica".

In particular, our football shirt tribute to Gillespie et al is printed in the primary colours of the iconic album cover: red with yellow and blue highlights.

The embroidered badge is our own variation of the sun with eyes logo and features the legend "Scream FC" and "1982" (the year of the band's formation).

The all-over print also features a pattern inspired by the cover. The front sponsor is "Loaded", the first single from the album, written in the album font, while the sleeves feature four yellow stripes.

On the rear of the shirt is the name "Gillespie" (for Bobby Gillespie, the band's lead singer and sole permanent member) and the number 91 (the year of Screamadelica's release).

Labour: I Prefer Their Early Work!

With all great rock bands, there is always a certain amount of nostalgia for the “classic” period before they went all mainstream and chased popular success.

So too with all great political parties: file away that “difficult” third election along with the “difficult” third album.

Hill Valley Panthers Football Club’s 2015 home shirt - inspired by the classic Back To The Future Part II. 👨‍🔬🛹⚡️

This exclusive football shirt is based on Marty McFly’s jacket worn in 2015, with the main sponsor logo on the front being that of Cafe 80s which he visits in the film.

On the sleeve is the logo of Jaws 19 🦈 - the holographic movie that is advertised in the film - while the back of the shirt features the emblem of the Flux Capacitor which powers the time-travelling DeLorean.

The embroidered badge design features an image of the Hill Valley town hall (complete with panthers), alongside the date 1885 - the year the town was founded as seen in the third part of the film series.

The name and number on the back are McFly (in tribute to the film’s hero Marty) and 15 (in reference to the time in the future - now, of course, the past - to which he travelled).

“Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening, me” - Galileo. ⛈️⚡️

No doubt one of the great Galileo’s most famous quotes, as recounted by Freddie Mercury of “Queen” fame in their 1975 opus “Bohemian Rhapsody”.

The football shirt for “Ratched’s Rangers”, inspired by the film adaptation of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. 🪺

The Ratched’s Rangers badge features a silhouette of the Oregon State Hospital in which R.P. McMurphy and his cohorts are being treated, and the year the events of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest takes place.

The main sponsor, R.P. McMurphy Fishing Tours (Siuslaw Bay, Oregon), commemorates only the very best of fishing trips.

The man himself, Randle Patrick “Mac” McMurphy, gives his name to the back of our shirt, and 75, the year of the film’s release. The design of the shirt itself is a nod to McMurphy’s white-over-blue shirt ensemble.

Finally, on the sleeve, we have Cheswick’s Cigarette Co.

Seize the day, they said.

It’ll be good for you, they said.

Well, I may have seized the wrong day.

Inspired by Akira: Kaneda Football Shirt 🏍️

A football shirt for the fictitious “Neo Tokyo FC “based on the character of Shōtarō Kaneda from the 1988 cult anime film “Akira”.

The main elements of the design are taken from Kaneda’s biker jacket, with both the front sponsor “Citizen” and the US military emblem on the sleeve featuring as brand stickers on Kaneda’s bike.

The embroidered club badge features Neo-Tokyo, the futuristic setting of the film, and also depicts the ball as the nuclear explosion at the start of the film. The second sleeve features a logo reading “good for health, bad for education” which appeared on the back of Kaneda’s jacket in the manga comic version.

On the rear of the shirt the number nineteen represents the year the film is set, while the Japanese script is the Japanese for “Akira”.

Creationism? Intelligent design? Organised religion?

The opening lines to "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe", part two of the five-part Hitch Hikers' Guide To The Galaxy trilogy; probably the greatest pan-galactic epic ever written.

"In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and has widely been regarded as a bad move"

I may be old but at least I got to see all the good bands (before they sold-out, descended into drink- and drug-fuelled obscurity, fell out spectacularly or simply re-united as a pale shadow of their former selves in a desperate attempt to settle a long-overdue tax bill).

This exclusively designed football shirt has been created as a tribute to the Spanish Civil War anarcho-syndicalist Buenaventura Durruti.

Designed in the diagonally-bisected red and black colours of the confederal militias to which Durruti belonged, it features an embroidered badge showing the coat of arms of the Consejo Regional de Defensa de Aragón (Regional Defence Council of Aragon) - the autonomous region founded by the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) in 1936.

The front of the shirt features the Republican slogan "no pasarán" ("they shall not pass") across the front where a sponsor logo would usually be, whereas the back features the name "Durruti" and the number 36 (the year of the formation of the Durruti Column), plus the slogan "A las Barricadas" ("To the Barricades") - the title of one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Spanish Civil War.

An abridged quote of Aneurin "Nye" Bevan, given during a sp*ech at the Bellvue Hotel on 3 July 1948, two days before the National Health Service came into being at Park Hospital in Manchester.

The full quote: "That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party that inflicted those bitter experiences on me. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin. They condemned millions of first-class people to semi-starvation. Now the Tories are pouring out money in propaganda of all sorts and are hoping by this organised sustained mass suggestion to eradicate from our minds all memory of what we went through. But, I warn you young men and women, do not listen to what they are saying now. Do not listen to the seductions of Lord Woolton. He is a very good salesman. If you are selling shoddy stuff you have to be a good salesman. But I warn you they have not changed, or if they have they are slightly worse than they were.

Dont you just hate it when people cant seem to get the hang of the humble apostrophe?

Every week we see literally 100's of examples of it's improper use. Signs', book's and even newspapers' have been known to get it wrong. Its not bloody rocket science!

Use in the event of substituting a letter or letters (such as "can't" for "can not"), or in the possessive (except the possessive of "it"). Do not use for plurals. In the case of a possessive plural, the apostrophe goes after the s. Now write that out a hundred times.

One for all those droogs who like a bit of the old ultra-violence. Originally by Anthony Burgess, later popularised by Stanley Kubrick.

Our interpretation of a football shirt for Colonial Marine Private First Class William L. Hudson from the 1986 sci-fi classic Aliens.

Our design features an embroidered Colonial Marines badge and an all-over khaki camouflage print.

The main sponsor is the logo of the Weyland-Yutani Corp; the megacorporation responsible for the operation of human extraterrestrial colonies such as that on LV-426.

It also includes details unique to Hudson's own Marines uniform from the film including a skull and dagger design which appeared on his armoured vest, the words "dispose of properly" on the rear (which were written across his body armour in the film), and the number 8 on the back - an obscure reference that we'll leave you to spot.

On the left arm are the words "game over, man" - possibly one of the most famous lines in the film - uttered by Hudson after witnessing the crash involving their dropship which leaves them stranded on the alien-infested moon.

The lesser-known cousin of the fourteenth-century Peasants' Revolt.

King Richard II is depicted here meeting with the rebels at which he exclaims "I expected there to be less of you", to which the reply comes: "Fewer!"

The unmistakable "starkicker" logo of the classic 70s and 80s BBC2 late night rock music show The Old Grey Whistle Test.

😻 Happiness is Cat Shaped 😻

Cats are awesome for so many reasons. The ‘presents’ they bring us, the hair balls, the way they do that neading thing that really f***king hurts… the list is endless.

But seriously, cats are life, we’re nothing without our daily dose of cute cat videos.

Our football shirt tribute to the best Grand Theft Auto in the series: GTA Vice City, set in the 1980s. It is based on the Hawaiian shirt worn by Tommy Vercetti in the game and features a tropical all-over print and the embroidered badge of the fictional Vice City Rampage AFC. The shirt sponsor is the series’ gun supply store Ammu-Nation, while the sleeve sponsor is Malibu Club, the main nightclub in Vice Point. The back of the shirt has the name "Vercetti" and the number '86 in reference to the game's 80s setting. Just like in the game, keep a look out for any hidden packages!

Over twenty years on, but the feeling's still the same. Printed large and bold: Still. Hate. Thatcher.

The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it - Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Our football shirt tribute to one of the greatest characters in television history: Tony Soprano.

The embroidered logo is of the fictitious Newark Saints Football Club (the name itself being inspired by the spin-off movie "The Many Saints of Newark", with the year of founding, 1967, being the year that the film begins).

The main sponsor on the front of the shirt is the logo of Soprano's Barone Sanitation front company, while the smaller sleeve sponsor is the logo of the Bada-Bing, the strip club owned and chiefly operated by Silvio Dante, Tony's consigliere.

There is a duck printed at the bottom of the back of the shirt, in reference to the ones which are a constant presence throughout the series (and widely considered a metaphor for family), while the back of the collar features a gun similar to that in The Sopranos' logo.

The pattern of the shirt is inspired by one of the polo shirts worn by the protagonist in the series, while the name and number on the rear, "Soprano 99", reference Tony Soprano himself and the year that the series started (as well as the year that Tony becomes an underboss in the DiMeo crime family).

Inspired by the awesome Breaking Bad, the potential logo of White and Pinkman Pharmaceuticals - providing 99.1% pure "Blue Sky" crystal methamphetamine to the citizens of Albuquerque, New Mexico and the wider South west United States.

I think it was 'Blessed are the cheesemakers'.

"What's so special about the cheesemakers?"

"Well, really it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products."

A football shirt paying tribute to iconic late 70s rock/post-punk/indie pioneers Joy Division.

Our shirt features a pattern based on the CP-1919 pulsar that formed the basis for the band's most famous imagery: the cover of their 1979 debut album Unknown Pleasures.

The embroidered badge is that of the fictional club "FC Warszawa" - an obscure reference to the David Bowie song "Warszawa" from which the band took their original name "Warsaw". The badge also features a modified version of the logo of Factory Records, the legendary label to which the band were signed.

The rear of the shirt features the name "Curtis", after the band's lead singer Ian Curtis, and the number 10; referencing the FACT10 serial number of the Unknown Pleasures album.

The numbers also feature small factory logos, while the sleeve has a print of a Factory/Hacienda-inspired black and yellow chevron pattern.

The front sponsor on the shirt is "Transmission" in reference to the band's first single and one of their most famous songs.
