Fashion meets Football with Subway®
It’s official: Football fashion is moving out of stadiums and into the mainstream as fans are embracing shirts and scarves on and off the terraces.
With the rise of sports fashion styling and increase in fans wearing football gear in their day-to-day, Subway® is celebrating this year’s Subway® Women’s League Cup Final with a limited-edition fashion collab with London-based sports fashion designer, Hattie Crowther.
Designed for a new era of football fandom, where fashion and football go hand in hand, Hattie has created an exclusive run of just 300 football scarves. Dropping just in time for the final on the 15th March, they are made to champion the rise of the women’s game and enable fans to show their support beyond the 90-minute final.
Fans will be able to get their hands on these scarves ahead of the final through a social-first giveaway across Subway®’s Instagram channel, bundled alongside Women’s League Cup Final tickets and Subway ® gift cards. Starting on 6th of March, fans can tag a friend in the comments of the official Instagram post for their chance to win. Fans in attendance of the match will also have a chance to be a part of this celebration with surprise-and-delight moments for those in the stands.
True to Hattie’s mission in disrupting sports styling and challenging ideas of traditional football apparel, the limited-edition collection has been thoughtfully designed to help fans of the sport feel seen and represented. Championing representation on and off the pitch, the collection is modelled exclusively by content creators embedded in the women's football space, spotlighting the voices supporting the sport's continued cultural rise. Hattie sees these designs as a tool to spark conversation beyond the match and build visibility for the sport.
