What is F.C.Real Bristol?
F.C.Real Bristol, often shortened to FCRB, is the football inspired imprint of the Japanese menswear brand SOPHNET.. The label presents itself as a football team: its name and crest make it look like a real club, but it never plays matches. That fictional club identity runs through its collections.
Products and positioning
Collections translate football kit and training wear into streetwear, with heavy colour blocking and bold, colourful graphic prints. A typical autumn/winter range includes puffer jackets, windbreakers, hoodies, fleeces, training kits and water-repellent pieces that work on and off the pitch.
