Casa Rebelde, (Rebellious House or Tí éirí amach if you are so inclined) opens its doors this week. For those who haven’t been awaiting it as eagerly as us here, Casa Rebelde is a clothing shop with a difference, and the brainchild of a good comrade of ours. The tagline in Casa’s logo sums it’s philosophy up: “Clothing for the discerning football fan and revolutionary,” and while the shop will mainly stock t-shirts, jerseys and accessories, it’s message is intended to run deeper.
Casa are bringing over clothing ranges from St. Pauli, Copa Football, Goal Soul, PG Wear, Partisano and Fire and Flames as well as printing their own range of t-shirts. Designs include a cracker depicting John Giles in his heyday and Alf Ramsey’s quote, “As I look at all the talent and character at my disposal today, my one regret is that John Giles wasn’t born an Englishman” and one of Paul McGrath featuring alongside Ché Guevara, sharing a similar silhouette.

According to Dixie from Casa Rebelde, “We are Ireland’s only store selling solely Football and Political t-shirts, t-shirts that have never been sold on these shores before. Who says sport and politics don’t mix? Here is the proof that they do and do so stylishly.” He really seems to be going about it the right way, getting in some cracking designs from PG Wear embracing the “Against Modern Football” idea and pasting images of football mixed with those of revolution and civil diseobedience on the walls…
Also hoping to stock merch from LOI fan groups, limited shelf space will be made available; for those interested, mail casarebelde@gmail.com .
I’ll get some pictures of the finished shop this evening… I really can’t wait to start spending money I don’t have! Casa Rebelde can be found at 6 Sprangers Yard in Temple Bar- Its the laneway parrallel to Central Bank, where the back door of the Foggy Dew is…
Popped in on Thursday for a look-see and a natter. Picked up a couple of shirts, too – the first of many, it must be said! Fantastic place, looking forward to the launch next week. Dixie’s done an amazing job, fair play to him.
How’s this for customer service…e-mailed them about one of the designs on the Copa Football link above, within 20 minutes I’d got an e-mail back saying he didn’t have it in stock but would order it in for me and he expects to have it by next Saturday. And all thi outside normal working hours too…
Sounds like top quality customer service. I’ll be sure to do a bit of shopping in there and send a loada business there way too. Can’t wait to go in there and have a look and meet the lads.
Good stuff lads, I’ll be sure to pass the kind words on. Gear arriving from Glasgow and Germany during the week, plus the new order from Copa with small sizes for wee slips of lads like myself.
