Manchester City and Oasis have teamed up to create a clothing collection celebrating the anniversary of Definitely Maybe and the band's close connection to the Club. Ahead of a summer of gigs for the band in the UK, striker Erling Haaland posed like Liam Gallagher behind a mic and other players including Rodri and Phil Foden also wore the new gear. The range features City and Oasis branded T-shirts, Hoodies and Bucket hats with two T-shirts being inspired by Oasis music posters from the 90s. These tees play on iconic club moments and song titles from Oasis’s debut album Definitely Maybe.
The full range has been launched online in the Manchester City shop. Oasis have also today announced the 25th anniversary reissue of their fourth studio album, Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants – available on limited edition vinyl including silver LP and official store exclusive blue and purple marble LP on the anniversary of the original release date, February 28. Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants marked the start of a new era for the band. Go Let It Out was the first release on Noel and Liam Gallagher’s own label Big Brother Recordings Ltd, established in January 2000 following the sudden closure of Oasis’ former UK label Creation Records. Big Brother’s debut release was rushed into production and released on 7th February 2000, only seven weeks after the label’s inception.
It reached No.1 in the UK Album Charts, selling over 310,000 copies in its first week alone. It is now certified double platinum and has also sold in excess of 200,000 copies in the US. The legacy of its songs continues in Oasis back catalogue. The track F**kin’ In The Bushes cemented itself in fans consciousness as the incendiary rallying cry Oasis walked on stage to for subsequent live shows. The band are back on the road this summer, playing huge shows in the UK and the US. Tickets sold out in minutes.
