MCFC T-Shirts



During my current project for Kitbag.com i have began to research existing t-shirts from other top flight English clubs. Manchester City's latest designs have developed straight from the songs sang on the terraces during the last 10-15 years. 'we're not really here' is a song that still gets sang today, and this developed from when Manchester City fell to the 2nd division and had to play away at Macclesfield Town (a location City fans were not used to). The Banana symbolises an era from the 80's where Manchester City fans took inflatable banana's to games as an unusual way to show their support for the club. Songs are still sung today about the banana, such as, '1 banana, 2 banana, 3 banana, 4!".

These historic references are something I would like to incorporate into the Everton T-shirts, and look further into the clubs chants and nostalgic moments from the past.
