The new Spring/Summer collection of Real Bristol F.C.

Real Bristol F.C., the fictional football team founded by the Japanese collective SOPH, has a new collection of garments for its next non-season. It was made in off-the-pitch style, but is inspired by training and gaming material. Streetwear and fantasy, like that of wanting to present the new items with hypothetical personalized magazine covers, in which puppets - with fictional names, but clearly inspired by real football champions - dress the collection.

The collection includes sweatshirts, jackets, T-shirts, long pants and shorts, hoodies and other elements, all characterized by particular patterns and very bright colors. The desgin varies from head to head, but you can recognize retrò details (a bit vintage style) and others more alternative, almost technical. Being the summer/spring collection, the materials are light and the cut is short, summery, while reflecting the streetwear style that has distinguished SOPH products for years. The garments have all impressed the name of the team, even the shorts and the baseball caps.

SOPH has created a football imaginary of its own that feeds every season with new collections and collaborations, such as the one that in the "last season" had created together with Strassenkicker, the Lukas Podolski brand. Started in 1999, Real Bristol F.C. became an institution in the relationship between football and fashion, although, in reality, the team did not play a single professional game. The choice of puppets as models is also nothing new, while the inclusion of these in a hypothetical sports magazine is a new idea.
