Studs Up Football Club T-Shirt Collection: For Diehard Soccer Fans

Several weeks ago we shared with you ten brilliant T-shirt designs from the Studs Up Football Club clothing line.

If you’re like me, I can never have enough soccer T-shirts. Whether it’s wearing them around the house, at the gym or making a statement when I go outside, I love wearing soccer T-shirts. Wearing a soccer T-shirt in public is like a coded message making it clear that you’re a fan of the beautiful game. Whether it’s a knowing nod from a stranger or a wink from a member of the opposite sex, it’s always a good feeling when you come into contact with a fellow soccer fan.

And now thanks to Studs Up Football Club, they’re offering EPL Talk readers 15% off when you order two T-shirts this week. Just enter the following coupon code at checkout: EPLTALK.

To see some of the creative T-shirts Studs Up Football Club has on display, read on:

You may or may not know about Studs Up. It’s, by far, the funniest football comic strip out there. It’s not PC, but the topics creator Chris Toy covers are right in line with what the soccer world is buzzing about at any given moment.

And now Chris has launched his fashion label, Studs Up Football Club. And you can count Aston Villa striker Darren Bent as one of the fans of the label (see picture above of him sporting one of the logo t-shirts).

Now here are my favorite soccer T-shirts (click on any of them for more information and to browse the entire collection):

1. I Haart Der Vaart

On August 31, 2010, just two hours before the transfer window closed, Tottenham fans were dreading another last second panic-buy. And they were right. Even though Rafael van der Vaart cost just £8 million, many fans doubted that another small playmaker was what the team needed.

Three goals in his first four matches opened their eyes. 10 goals in his first 19 matches made him invaluable. Quotes to the press professing love for the club, fans and a desire to stay for the rest of his career made him a hero.

The only panic Spurs fans associate with VDV now is when he isn’t in the squad.

The I Haart Der Vaart design is printed on a super soft, lightweight tri-blend tee (50% Polyester, 25% Cotton, 25% Rayon) that has an athletic and vintage look. Printed inside-collar label and logo hem tag. Machine wash cold inside-out with like-colours, tumble dry low or line-dry.

2. Lil Tevez

The Lil Tevez shirt first appeared in a number of Studs Up comics like this one, and this one, and we understand that requests for it to be made in the “real world” immediately flooded in. Who are they to say no?

The design is printed on a super soft 100% cotton tee. Custom SUFC hem and collar tags.

3. Footie Cookie

A cookie. A penguin. What’s not to understand? Cookie and Penguin are mortal enemies, foes whose contempt for each other was only matched by their unwillingness to concede defeat. The relentless march of time has had no effect on the bad blood between those who waddled and those who crumbled. This shirt confounds the very basis of these juxtaposed cultures. Or it’s just a cookie. And a penguin. Check out the Footie Cookie T-shirt.

100% cotton. Custom tags on collar and hem. SUFC logo on back collar.

4. The Greatest Team The World Has Ever Seen

The iconic verse from the iconic song, proudly belted from ground to ground in a defiant demonstration of the essence of football fandom. Because no matter the day, no matter the result, no matter where the club may sit in the league… We are by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen.

The Greatest Team the World Has Ever Seen T-shirt is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend for an extremely soft, retro feel. Ink is printed lightly to add to the vintage look and will soften even further after washing. Custom hem tag.

5. Let Em Hang Blue

Studs Up Football Club members love to let them hang loud and proud, swinging around for all to see. Social conventions be damned. Bring em to the pub, to the club or to the beach. People will stare, and quite possibly want to touch them. It’s ok… let it happen.

This Let Em Hang shirt is a 50% cotton, 25% polyester, 25% rayon blend for a buttery soft feel and a vintage look. Custom hem tag.

6. Studs Up Yellow

This Studs Up shirt was inspired by the wonderful cursive text used on beer and lager brands across Europe, and thus is perfect for a lazy afternoon sipping on an ice-cold beverage of your choice, enjoying the football.

100% cotton. Custom tags on collar and hem. SUFC logo on back collar.

7. Studs Up Cyan

This Studs Up logo tee features eye-catching cyan layered with subtle dotting to give it extra pop.

100% cotton. Custom tags on collar and hem. SUFC logo on back collar.

8. Wembley

Home to England international matches, it is Wembley’s significance to club football that earned its place in history as it hosted every English league and FA cup final for decades. Pele even went as far as to say “Wembley is the cathedral of football. It is the capital of football and it is the heart of football.”

This original illustration was painstakingly hand-crafted just for SUFC. 100% cotton. Custom tags on collar and hem. SUFC logo and Wembley Towers on back collar. Check out the Wembley T-shirt.

9. Harry Redknapp Genius

Tottenham have long been reliable for rarely flirting with either end of the table, relegation is rarely a real threat while the top end of the league has proven equally as elusive. That all changed in 18 roller coaster months which started with the club sitting dead last in the table before Harry Redknapp took over and completely turned the club around to a Champions League spot in the 09/10 season. As the media and especially Redknapp himself reminded us seemingly every weekend during that run, Spurs had just “2 points from 8 games” when he took over. Spurs fans have long been trained to expect disappointment following any high, so commemorate the iconic sound byte from Harry’s reign while the iron is hot.

The 2 points, 8 games, 1 hero shirt is 100% cotton. Custom tags on collar and hem. SUFC logo on back collar.

10. Welcome to the Club

Either you’re with the club, or you’re against them.

The Welcome to the Club tee is 100% cotton. Custom tags on collar and hem. SUFC logo on back collar.

11. Taxi for Maicon

To call it a break-out performance would be an understatement, and a little unfair considering his hattrick in the first leg and good form stretching back to last season. But Gareth Bale’s utter destruction of Inter’s Maicon the Champions League set off weeks worth of superlative-laden headlines, breathless pundits and blockbuster transfer rumours for the young Welshman. Despite being at the top of virtually any fan or pundit’s list of best fullbacks in the world as recently as one second before this match kicked off, Bale made Maicon look like a schoolboy for 90 minutes and left many wondering if he had spontaneously become washed up. Not the least were the Spurs fans, whose “Taxi For Maicon” chant was recognised by on-air commentators, in match reports and even by Bale himself.

This Taxi for Maicon shirt is a 50% cotton, 25% polyester, 25% rayon blend for a buttery soft feel and a vintage look. Custom hem tag.

12. Death From Above

One moment of madness from Manchester United’s Eric Cantona, when he sailed through the air to strike a football supporter with a karate kick, is captured on this new T-shirt from Studs Up Football Club. It’s difficult to sum up the career of someone as enigmatic and unpredictable as Eric Cantona. A legend, a cult hero, and for one fleeting moment of madness – a devastating kung fu master. Long live the King.

The Death From Above T-shirt design is printed on a super soft 100% cotton tee. Custom SUFC hem and collar tags. Machine wash cold inside-out with like-colours, tumble dry low or line-dry.
