Noel Gallagher - 1993/95 Man City Home Jersey

The Star: Noel Gallagher @ Oasis

In 1994, at the dawn of Oasis’ supersonic rise, photographer Michael Cummins made a radical move: he dressed the band in Manchester City’s Brother-sponsored home jersey – defying music industry taboos that deemed football "unfashionable." This act turned a working-class emblem into a global rock icon.

The Jersey

Jersey Spotlight: 1993/95 Manchester City Home Jersey
Why It’s Iconic:
- Worn during City’s relegation-threatened season, symbolizing unwavering loyalty in adversity.
- The Brother logo became Oasis’ accidental "band crest," merging industrial pragmatism with Britpop swagger.
- Photographed at Maine Road’s North Stand during stadium redevelopment – a stolen moment of rock-and-football communion.
Celebrity Twist: Noel and Liam wore it in street style, rejecting stylists’ Beatles-esque polish for terrace authenticity.

The Vibe

Rebel Alliance: Sky-blue fabric + Japanese electronics logo = anti-establishment manifesto
Cultural Impact:
- The Snub: NME’s Southampton-supporting editor killed the cover, calling City "losers" and Oasis "yobbish."
- The Revenge: The shoot went viral globally, inspiring Japanese fans to hunt down rare City jerseys.
- The Legacy: First featured on NME’s 2010 split-era cover, cementing its cult status.
Street Cred: Cummins’ secret tribute – shooting at Flitcroft Street to honor City midfielder Garry Flitcroft – epitomized football’s underground influence on Britpop.
