I would be in for a Mogawai. Between them and Battles for the loudest show I’ve ever been to.

That’s awesome!! It’s a great shirt, I wear it oftenOh by the way remember the Fontaines sponsored Bohemians kit?
It made €12k for a homeless charity in central Dublin! How awesome is that!
Fontaines DC put on the jersey for Focus Ireland's homelessness campaign

Which one did you go with? I went with the classic shirt without the sponsor. T-Sad seems like an odd thing to explain to someone who asks
There’s a very good chance. I believe they are Scotland based and have done Pulp, Frightened Rabbits, and now The Twilight Sad. I would buy Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura, etc. there’s so many they could do.

Mogwai sponsors Glasgow school football strips
The band bought several sets of strips for youngsters at St Roch's primary in Glasgow.

Aberdeen 1983 ECWC Final shirt | Aberdeen Retro Jersey | Score Draw
It's basically a take on the 1983 Aberdeen Cup Winners Cup strip, as well as a take on an old Aberdeen sponsor - A-FAB. I have a replica of it, so I went with the sponsor one to differentiate between the two.
The Frightened Rabbits one was class, and the quality was excellent. Feels like the link just now is with Tiny Changes, their charity.

Ah TIL! Yeah I hate paying that much but I think all of the proceeds outside of manufacturing etc go to the charity so I don’t mind.Aberdeen 1983 ECWC Final shirt | Aberdeen Retro Jersey | Score Draw

Yeah, it feels like a charity donation with a wee bonus to me, and it's kind of on a par with real life strips.
Would be interested to see if they do more Scottish bands in the future - agree with your choices, and I think they could do something like the Spurs third strip with someone like Chvrches.

Aye, James Graham is a Dons fan for his sins. Thinking about it, haven't purchased just yet.
Definitely check out The Twilight Sad, they are great!

Is it? I didn’t know that! That tends to be another indicator of social deprevation though!

Yeah, not sure if its still like that though.
Also this and the correct spelling of Schalke are probably all i can contribute to this thread.

Twilight Sad kits are live from Bands FC.
I can’t say I’ve ever listened to the Twilight Sad before. Maybe I should start so I could grab one of these. I don’t think they’ll go as quickly as the Frabbits one
EDIT: I did it. $83 shipped
It does look smart, switch the red for blue and you’ve almost got something that would pass for the early 80s St Johnstone top.
Both this and the FRabbits one were for great causes but just couldn’t bring myself to get either for football reasons.
Edit: Sadly my replica is a medium from skinny days, not an XL like I would need now.

I hear you. I know it's for charity but there's no fucking way I'm buying a Celtic themed Mogwai shirt.

so many Scots in here! Completely understand it being impossible to buy a rival kit even if it's for a band.
Funnily enough I bought a Rangers kit on Classic Football Shirts last summer because it was so cheap, like £20. Hummel kits are tight and the Large is a little too snug for me so I never wear it. I was thinking of eventually getting a Celtic kit too, as I was supposed to travel to Scotland last year but Covid got in the way. I later learned about the rivalry and how you'd get attacked or jeered if you wound up in the wrong side of town wearing a rival shirt (mostly Rangers fans from what I have also seen). I grew up Catholic as well so Celtic do seem like the side I should align with in Scotland anyways.

Yeah, it's probably not the best idea to wander about Glasgow in a football top. For example, the Barrowland Ballroom is in a Celtic area. I went to see Mogwai there on an old firm game day and the place was full of Celtic fans. I could just imagine you rocking up there in a R*ngers kit

Went to a gig at St Lukes a few years back, a couple of hundred metres from the Barrowlands with some Celtic pubs in between. My pal and I were the only ones cheering in the bar area beforehand as Saints set about beating Celtic in Perth in the evening’s televised game.Yeah, it's probably not the best idea to wander about Glasgow in a football top.

If you want a truly hipster Glasgow football strip go for this. Play in one of the weekend leagues, but their strip is a belter:
Replica Shirts
The Glasgow city-inspired tee is perfect for both workouts and day-to-day life. Made by Desideri sport and style the tees stand out with such a unique print with the city map layout on the body. Please note this is the replica version of the shirt worn by the players.
Have to admit that I got the Tiny Changes Frightened Rabbit strip, which is basically a Hearts strip. Was comfortable putting my football affiliations to the side for charity. Also, I thought that no-one would see me wearing it in Melbourne that cared, so I was safe!
