As part of the return of the brand’s iconic drill top from 1996, Umbro and SoccerBible have partnered up to reveal a special edition zine, creatively celebrating the cultural impact of the apparel.
Reviving the spirit of '96, Umbro has reissued the legendary drill top worn by Liam Gallagher during that unforgettable night at Maine Road – a moment that blurred the lines between football terraces and music stages, rewriting the rulebook on football culture. To celebrate, the brand and SoccerBible have come together to drop a special edition zine, spotlighting the seismic impact of the Pro Training classic.
Shot in and around Manchester – the drill top’s spiritual home – the zine captures the piece in its natural habitat, worn by natives who live and breathe the culture it helped shape. It’s a nod to the past, but firmly rooted in the now.
This isn’t just a throwback. It’s a recognition of a garment that did more than just kit out players – it changed the game. Worn by Gallagher at a time when sportswear hadn’t yet found a place in the lifestyle scene, it broke barriers. Now, as the drill top returns, so too does its legacy – reimagined, restyled, and re-celebrated.
