Brighton icon and Grammy-winning DJ, Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, has combined two of his biggest passions, football and music, to launch a special edition football shirt in collaboration with Admiral and Modfather Clothing.
A lifelong Brighton & Hove Albion supporter, Cook has teamed up with the classic kit manufacturer to drop a stunning, nostalgia-infused design inspired by a near-forgotten third shirt from the 1994/95 season.
Dubbed the ‘Stand or Fall’ Fatboy Slim x Admiral kit, the limited-edition release features a retro ribbed collar with twin popper-button fastening, contrast blue and black stripes, and a subtle all-over print of Admiral’s 90s logo pattern.
In place of a club crest sits Cook’s unmistakable Smiley Face/Skull and Crossbones logo, surrounded by the words: “We’ve come a long, long way together” – a lyric lifted from his 1999 smash hit “Praise You.”
The shirt swaps out the traditional chest sponsor for the iconic Fatboy Slim logo, while the inside back neck tape features the title of his third studio album: Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars.
Each shirt comes in a collector’s box with a custom print by local artist Jamie Eke, and just 500 individually signed editions have been produced – each one autographed by both Cook and Eke.
Adding to its local roots, 10% of proceeds from every shirt sold will go to Martlets Hospice, a charity close to Norman’s heart and the Brighton community.
Originally released via Modfather Clothing on July 12, any remaining stock is now available online.
