We are a Man
City-supporting
father and son…
Etihad, October 2024
…a two-horse enterprise designing original and cool T-shirts for like-minded fans.
The first match I saw on a colour TV was our
1-0 FA Cup win over Leicester in 1969. So for better and worse, aged seven, I was a City fan.
My son Alf was about the same age when he saw the light too – and has been lucky enough to experience just the good times, the glories of the past 15 years.
Between us we’ve been to Barca and Norwich and Preston and Porto and Newport and Amsterdam and Istanbul and many other places in between.
So City is a part of our lives. Every season brings a new kit and, with the odd exception, the shirts since we went back to the classic 1970 badge have been pretty bloody good.
But we found ourselves wanting something a bit different. So a couple of years ago we started creating our own T-shirts, just as one-offs for ourselves.
Then we thought other fans might appreciate them too…so ManciTees was born. Now we have produced a small line of City-inspired shirts that go beyond the club merch.
I grew up in Cheshire, we live in London and Edinburgh, we’re City ’til we die and we stand on the South Stand for home games. We hope you like our stuff.
Best regards, Jon & Alfie
