Went myself last night and came on to post exactly the same thing. :lol:

I don't know why it's suddenly became a thing. The gig was fairly weak until the last 4 or 5 tunes like. Decent band like but can't see them ever playing bigger venues.

In fairness the drummer had a Toffs old school shirt on and I've seen the lead singer wear that one before at random festivals outside the UK but I just don't suddenly get the Mag love in wearing shirts by random bands every time they come to the NE? The whole band were kitted out.

Fortunately the majority of the crowd were definitely not a "football crowd".

I agree, it's easy listening music, our lass likes them so went along to please her.

Thought the setlist was ok but weird that they didn't end on sofa king. I just can't get my head around them coming dressed in mag tops.

I suppose it appeases the thickos, lad in front of me was gushing to his mate that 'they are wearing toon tops.' They're the weirdest set of folk on earth.

I don't know if it's just the done thing now but there was a few people in the crowd wearing Mag tops as well. I very rarely wear a Sunderland shirt to a Sunderland match; wouldn't even think about wearing one for a Gig.

Exactly my thoughts on the subject. I was cringing for a fella not far short of 60 wearing a vintage Sunderland shirt at Tom A Smith in Manchester earlier this year.

I find it completely bizarre. Wear the merchandise by any manner (personally haven't bought a t shirt for years but always have a gander) but why make it a "football event". This is a 2020s phenomenon I am sure.
 
Jesse Malin benefit concert in NYC tonight to help him with medical bills - it's Jesse's first live performance since a spinal stroke a year or two ago, with help from the likes of J Mascis, Jakob Dylan, Adam D and another bloke from Counting Crows, Elvis Costello, Rickie Lee Jones, Alejandro Escovedo, Lucinda Williams, and a few others, compered by Michael Imperioli.
