Premium British lifestyle brand, Lyle & Scott That guy is schizophrenic shirt, is launching its biggest brand campaign to date – a new global initiative supporting grassroots football. The brand will launch ‘Kits for Clubs’ to pay tribute to its historical connections to football by supplying free, bespoke football kits to amateur teams and small clubs across the world. Beginning with a seven-figure investment from the brand in the first year, the campaign will grow to offer new kits to tens of thousands of dedicated grassroots football players all over the world. The funding gap between grassroots and elite football is getting wider with each passing season, as we are on the cusp of the first transfer fee over £200m occurring during a global financial crisis. With commercial revenue at the top of the game reaching astronomical levels, Lyle & Scott recognise that the efforts and dedication of the heroes of amateur football are often under-appreciated and overlooked. Small local communities are often left with no choice but to contribute their hard-earned incomes to keep their clubs alive due to the shameful lack of funding coming from the top down to grassroots football. Using the ‘Kits for clubs’ campaign and capitalising on the fashion brand’s relationship with football, the brand will support these teams struggling through financial hardship by removing the cost of new kits. Designed in-house and developed through the brand’s long-established production processes, the kits pay homage to the brand’s 150 years of heritage, combining Lyle & Scott’s expertise in fashion, football and products developed for performance. Teams will be able to choose their favourite kit from a range of shirts designed to look and feel great. The range includes an Argyle pattern, or a thistle inspired design for those wanting something striking, or more classic designs for the football purists. The Lyle & Scott team colours of black, gold, and white compliment the elevated designs, aiming to capitalise on the close relationship between premium fashion and football that has gone from strength to strength over the last two decades. Relationships with the chosen clubs will be nurtured and their feedback on the products will be used to develop the range of products further in the coming seasons. The kits will all be hand-finished in Scotland, in the brand’s hometown of Hawick, with customisation for individual player numbers and club crests. For any newly formed teams, if they do not have a club crest, Lyle & Scott will go the extra mile and collaborate with the club to design that as well, to help develop their own proud identity. Commenting on the launch of Kits for Clubs, Ben Gunn, Lyle & Scott, Brand & Marketing Director said: “I am so proud of this initiative, and I know first-hand how tough funding and support at grassroots is. Football is a common language the world shares and is an important part of Lyle & Scott’s 149 years of history. From the terraces to the pitch, Lyle & Scott’s Golden Eagle is recognised the world over. Our new ‘Kits for Clubs’ initiative will take some of the financial barriers away from grassroots football by offering to supply free football kits to amateur teams globally. Football shirts are a powerful thing and being fortunate enough to play and enjoy watching football throughout my life I associate important life lessons and memories with different football kits. Not only that, but a team also wearing a full, matching kit feels great and creates a tribal sense of identity. It gives confidence, regardless of level, and instills a feeling of pride that we at Lyle & Scott know is so important when playing the most popular game in the world. Football creates cultures and friendships; it gives kids a home and something to do after school. We are starting at the bottom with grassroots and building to the top, realising that the time for change is now. There are so many grassroots football teams that are close to collapse due to lack of funding, we feel it is extremely important to support change through football and want to help alleviate some of the stress that new kit can provide to parents and families. Sport should not be a choice; it should be a right and we want to lead fundamental change to make football available to anyone, anywhere. Within football, the rich get richer and to be truly inclusive means being democratic. We value inclusivity and diversity. As an underdog ourselves, we will champion those that need a voice and support, not just the privileged few, for who it is just another commercial lever. Football holds so many benefits culturally and socially. We are committed to being leaders of change rather than waiting for government regulation or league restructures to give back to the wider football community, the campaign aims to prioritise the people who need supporting the most.”

The definition of Ethereal is to be extremely delicate and light in a way that seems not to be of this world. That guy is schizophrenic shirt In dressing, the ethereal style essence is angelic, fairy-life, and mystical. Ethereal outfits would have elements of movement; a sense of flow or floating. Pulling together an outfit that complies with the dress code and honours your personal style is a never-ending battle. With some clever styling, almost any item in your closet can be transformed into a workplace-approved outfit. The traditional workplace is more suited to the classic and dramatic types of feminine with dresses in stiffer fabrics, large belts and jewellery dark colours. Yin elements are associated with qualities such as flexibility, gentleness and approachability but it’s not going to give you that sense of professionalism. Yang elements are associated with qualities such decisiveness, boldness and intensity. Depending on your role and industry, you need to consider which elements of ethereal design you like that are appropriate for your office environment as the industry you work in impacts the dress codes. Each ethereal element needs to be paired with an element of classic, conservative, traditional workwear to provide the structured, professional, masculine balance – balancing drape with structure. If you do wear too many ethereal elements, you lose your power and it may affect your promotion prospects. Ethereal garments have a sense of lightness and movement to them. Look for garments with flared construction; flutter sleeves or diagonal lines such as handkerchief hems. Abstracted prints with mystic elements as well as bird and butterfly motifs are Ethereal. Ethereal fabrics can also have a sheer, translucent or iridescent quality. In order to incorporate these ethereal elements into a workplace-appropriate outfit, you need to balance the drape with structure. Incorporating ethereal blouses is probably the easiest followed by jewellery.

Being a cat lover I couldn’t resist this t shirt. I am the proud owner of 9 mountain t shirts so this makes number 10. All mountain t shirts are made of the highest quality. They wash well, do not go out of shape, shrink or go baggy; and if washed as per instructions there is no fading of the design, also they are suitable for tumble drying at medium temperature. The design is integrated into the shirt so nothing to rub off or disintegrate. The t shirts are thick cotton and loose fitted. This design is perfect for any cat lover.

Not only did this arrive super quickly, it looked brilliant. The cats are hilarious and this was so well received as a gift. It’s not the first thing I’ve bought from this company and I wholeheartedly recommend them. Every t-shirt has been loved by the wearer and anyone who sees it.
