Product details

Celebrate the proud history of Sunderland AFC with the Sunderland 1879 Heritage Embroidered Football Hoodie, featuring detailed embroidered artwork inspired by the club’s founding year and its enduring footballing identity.

The design combines elegant 1879 typography with a striking black cat illustration and flowing red and white detailing — a subtle tribute to the club’s heritage, the passion of Wearside and the generations of supporters who have stood behind Sunderland through every era.

Created for supporters who appreciate the history behind the shirt, the understated chest embroidery transforms the club’s founding year into a timeless piece of football culture. Minimalist, nostalgic and designed to be recognised by those who know.

The Football Label — born from football, built on identity.

Care instructions

Machine wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and similar colours. Do not iron decoration. Tumble dry low, or hang-dry for longest life. Do not dry clean.

Stitching process

Every design is individually digitised by embroidery specialists rather than simply printed onto fabric.

This creates a raised, textured finish with excellent durability. Very fine details may be subtly refined during digitising while maintaining the original design.

Sustainability

Each hoodie is made to order, helping reduce waste by avoiding unnecessary mass production.
