There are no two ways about it: we footy fans love top quality merch. Whether it’s a super sharp jersey, the legendary scarf or one of our favourite footies, having a good merch selection is an imperative part of being an adoring fan. It’s for this reason that week-in, week-out you will see footy fans across the country donning their team’s colours whilst they roar them on for 80 gruelling minutes!
But we’re not talking about just any old merch you get from the two dollar shop – we’re talking about top quality gear from the best in Aussie rules stores!
With this in mind, here are a few reasons why we Aussie rules fans love our top quality merch:
- They shows our love for the game
Whether you grab St Kilda, Richmond, Collingwood FC merchandise or something from a different club, having your team’s shirt, beanie, cap or other clothing item shows your love for the game. That’s why Aussie rules gear is ubiquitous in the homes of footy fans across the country.
After all, what better way to show your love for the game than repping some of the best quality gear from your favourite team. And, given that it’s the nation’s favourite sport, we have little trouble finding top quality clothing online or at one of our local footy stores.
- We get to show off our team’s colours
Every week in winter, thousands of footy fans across the country show their love for their club through repping some of the finest footy getups going around. Naturally, showing off our team’s colours is a huge part of heading out on gameday, and it makes heading out to the G, the Gabba, Optus Stadium and the others that much more enjoyable.
So, whilst heading out to the footy is one of Australia’s favourite pastimes, it’s that much more enjoyable when we’re dressed up in our favourite merch. Plus, there is a piece of clothing for every occasion, so whether you’re heading out to a mid-winter game in your best windbreaker, or heading to a sunny day final’s match in your guernsey, you’ll always be set with something solid to wear come gameday!
- They always looks great
Footy merch looks great. After all, some of the world’s top sporting goods manufacturers make it, so why shouldn’t it be good? When you have so many top brands creating clothing for our country’s clubs then you are more than likely to pick up a pretty good one for your team, too!
With top manufacturers like New Balance, Nike, Puma and more on the shirt-making roster, you can see why our guernseys always look pretty good. What’s more, there is so much more variety in the shirt manufacturers these days, allowing for a whole range of super-stylish designs that look great on gameday!
- They’re great for a kick
And if you love your footy then you probably love having a kick with your mates, too. And, given that guernseys are made for playing the great Aussie game, why not chuck yours on when you go for a kick with your mates? They are naturally made for breathability which makes them a lot more comfortable than if you were in some clunky cotton number.
So, picking up our team’s best merch is part of our love for the game, and why we see thousands of Aussies repping their team’s colours every week in our footy-mad country!
