'Merry Cribsmas' sweatshirt, 2017

Collected in 2017

A black sweatshirt with a white, green and red Fairisle inspired design, and the words Merry Cribsmas

This festive design is an iconic piece of merchandise by Wakefield rock band, The Cribs.

The band introduced the design in 2007 as a play on the traditional Christmas jumper.

In December 2007, The Cribs played three shows at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. They performed a different album in full each night. The special gigs were nicknamed 'Cribsmas'.

The band held a similar three night run in 2017 to mark the 10 year anniversary of Cribsmas. They revived the seasonal sweatshirts for the occasion.
