It offers apparel inspired by everyone surrounding the fictional football team, from players to supporters, and sets out to connect sports and fashion. Hirofumi Kiyonaga, designer at SOPH., established F.C.Real Bristol as another line of SOPH., and from 2000 to 2015, NIKE participated in a co-branded collaboration as the official supplier. Its catchphrase is “FOOTBALL IS NEVER BORING.”
