Killa Villa x Admiral 'The Villains' Collab Collection
Half a century since the birth of Hip-Hop in New York, which coincides with Admiral's launch of the first-ever replica football shirt, we've teamed up with Killa Villa to create a limited-edition capsule collection that blends the vibe of the city’s street style with the classic designs of Admiral and historic American soccer jerseys.
This partnership brings together Killa Villa - a football collective deeply rooted in Hip Hop culture and recognised for collaborations with industry icons such as Wu-Tang Clan - and Admiral Sports, the UK's oldest sportswear brand with a strong heritage in US Soccer. Admiral was a trailblazer in the 1970s and 80s, designing jerseys for top North American Soccer League (NASL) teams worn by legendary players such as Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, and George Best to name a few. This collection pays homage to those ties, fusing Admiral’s soccer heritage with Killa Villa’s links with Hip-Hop royalty.
The capsule features two heavyweight football shirts and a bold graphic tee. The home jersey is inspired by Admiral’s iconic 1970s chevron design in sky blue, while the away kit features a monochromatic black-and-white look with a pop of orange, reflecting Hip-Hop’s classic palette. Both shirts also draw influence from the early 90s US Soccer with heavyweight materials and bold branding creating a stand-out design. These two jerseys sit alongside ‘The Villains’ graphic tee which celebrates five decades since the birth of Hip-Hop in New York.
Each piece captures the essence of New York’s street culture and the deep influence of Hip-Hop and football in fashion.
The Killa Villa x Admiral Sports capsule collection is available now.
