ABOUT PHOOTYKITS
PHOOTYKITS began as a crossover design experiment born from two lifelong passions: football (soccer) and the band Phish.
The spark came during attending shows at Dick’s in 2018. I had designed a kit design for my Phish crew to celebrate 25 years of seeing Phish all together, and deep into the closing night's Golden Age, I imagined just that: a world where every Phish song was re‑imagined as a football club, complete with its own crest, identity, and kit. Phans already root for songs the way supporters root for teams—we debate versions, compare eras, and celebrate legendary performances. So at PHOOTYKITS, the “players” on each team are the iconic versions of each song: Albany YEM, Boise Bag, Nassau Tweezer, and so on. The name on the back references the venue or city; the number corresponds to the show date. It’s a language Phans already speak.
Growing up in Europe, immersed in football culture, designing kits for Phish songs started as a fun personal hobby. But printing them required some critical mass. After attending multiple Dick’s runs, I knew soccer‑loving Phans were out there—and growing. Surely plenty of Phish nerds would appreciate the deep‑cut details baked into each design. My hope is that everyone can find here a unique, customized piece of show‑wear that feels personal and fun.
Every kit is created with genuine respect for football culture and history—classic and modern, global and local. Real clubs’ names, crests, and kits naturally serve as inspiration, but any resemblance is purely aesthetic and design‑driven. All sponsors are fictional and, whenever possible, tie back to the song’s lyrics or themes.
Since PHOOTYKITS first appeared on the Lots in summer 2021, a real micro‑community has grown around it. If you spot a football kit in the Lots, chances are it’s a Phootykit. We’ve printed and shipped over 1,800 kits and expanded into T‑shirts, hoodies, and lids.
