Modfather Clothing have had the privilege of working with some of our musical heroes, but we have to say that this is without doubt our biggest & most exciting collaboration to date.

In an era where music and sports increasingly intersect, the latest collaboration between Admiral Sports, Modfather Clothing and the Marley family is not just a nod to a seminal reggae album but a vibrant celebration of football’s cultural heritage.

There’s a natural mystic blowin’ through the air, if you listen carefully now you will hear…
The opening line from arguably the greatest reggae album of all time.

“Exodus, movement of Jah people.”

Bob Marley’s connection to football is very well-documented, but it was during his time in London, while recording the Exodus album, that this passion visibly intersected with his musical journey.

Marley’s frequent visits to Battersea Park, accompanied by members of The Wailers, became a local spectacle.
They weren’t just kicking a ball around; they were weaving football into the very fabric of London’s cultural tapestry.

Having visited the village of Nine Mile to pay our respects at Bob’s childhood home, working on this project has been a massive honour for our family business.
We hope we’ve done the Legend proud.

Consequently, a lot of research, love and respect has gone into each individual design element.

A homage to the original iconic gold cover art.

The word ’Exodus’ in that striking red and black bold typeface which adorns the album, the conquering Lion of Judah from the reverse of the sleeve worked into the shirt crest, along with the text ‘BOB MARLEY F.C. EXODUS 1977’.

The red, gold & green from the Ethiopian flag, which was derived from the first official flag of Ethiopia, has been embroidered on the inner placket. This can be revealed or concealed by the wearer as it sits under a gold top button fastening. Along with the famous words “Natural Mystic” printed on the inner neck tape.
