历史
The Northern Boys Club was established circa 2007 by Thomas Summerfield while he was working at LIFE, Manchester. The brand's designs incorporated cultural references to football and music, featuring bands such as The Smiths, Happy Mondays, and The Verve, alongside quotes from figures like Winston Churchill. Approximately 50 unique designs were produced, with distribution primarily through independent retailers including Accent (Leeds), Ran (Manchester), Van Mildert (Sunderland), and Union (Newcastle). The brand resonated with individuals connected to Northern culture, initially within the United Kingdom, but quickly gaining traction in Northern Europe and Italy, particularly among Roma football fans who embraced the brand's name. The t-shirts were manufactured in the Far East and printed in Manchester.
