When bands release sports related merchandise, I always assume the band does it for a reason. I’ve always been under the impression that the band must surely play the sport if they are releasing sports related merch. You can surely imagine Freddy Madball playing a little one on one with Karl Earth Crisis. Or maybe two on two with Rick Ta Life (of 25 Ta Life) and Rick Ta Life (of Commin Correct). That I can picture.
However, I cannot in my wildest dreams EVER picture the members of Blood For Blood playing soccer. Can you? Can you picture Buddha hustling over to save a ball from going out? Or Ian exercising the perfect bicycle kick? Or even White Trash Rob heading a ball into the net? I could probably picture every member getting rowdy and participating in a little hooliganism, of course. But as for playing the sport, not so much.
Or is this just another attempt by Victory Records to make a buck? At least the construction appears like quality.
