Admiral Sporting Goods Co. has teamed up with three icons of Leeds to drop a unique selection of T-shirts celebrating music and football culture.
The unique graphic created by Daren Newman takes inspiration from the Corn Exchange, Yorkshire Rose and original coat of arms of the city which is all encapsulated around the collaboration partners Brudenell Social Club, The Square Ball and Crash Records. The city of Leeds and Admiral have half a century of history together having partnered to innovate and form the foundations of football as we see it today.
The t-shirts drop at the different locations on Friday 11th March, celebrating the city and the invention of the first ever football kit with each venue having a unique colourway: Blue is available from admiralsportinggoods.com , Yellow will be in-store at Crash Records and Rubber is available from the legendary Brudenell Social Club.
“It’s great to be working with so many iconic parts of the city all at once. Admiral has a special history with Leeds and to be able to celebrate it with people that are fans of the brand is very special.”
Theo, Admiral Sporting Goods
“As a lifelong Leeds United fan, I have great memories of our first Admiral kit in 1973, although I can't say the same thing about my day trip to Wembley for the FA Cup final against Sunderland that year! It was a real honour to be asked to take part in this collaboration along with some great Leeds institutions. I shall wear my t-shirt with pride.”
Ian from Crash Records
“We released a classic shirt last year, which formed a relationship with Admiral, who have a long golden vintage history with Leeds. So when this came up, we were delighted to come together with some of the other great institutions of our city, both music and football that we’re so passionate about. Darren’s design also encapsulates so much, it’s brilliant. Together as Leeds fans, we sing proudly at every match, ‘We are Leeds!’”
Nathan from Brudenell Social Club
“Admiral has a long and iconic association with the city of Leeds. The Square Ball teamed up successfully with Admiral last year and are proud to collaborate again, this time alongside The Brudenell and Crash Records - two massively important figures on the Leeds music scene. Daren Newman's fantastic design celebrates the City we love and it's an honour for The Square Ball to be included within it.”
Paul from The Square Ball
