Since City's promotion to the Premiership,
there has been an exponential increase in the volume of Citytat
available to buy. Some of it is official and available from the
Tiger Leisure stores, but other stuff is faker than Phil Brown's permatan. Here we'll showcase the best
of the worst Citytat ever created, and each item will receive a
'dogtod rating' out of five. The more dogtods, the crapper the
item.
Seen an outstanding example of Tigers themed tat? Submit a
picture and details (where is it available? Tiger Leisure? Ebay?
Walton Street Market? Also, how much are they wanting for this
utter crap?) of said tativity for inclusion here to
allmanneroftat@tigernation.co.uk

Hand Knitted Dean Windass doll
Unofficial.
Available from: Ebay. Asking price: £10
Oh dear. You have to credit the attention detail I suppose,
the winners medal around the neck, the black and amber trophy
ribbons, the tattoo... but look at it, just look at it, who
wants that? Well, no one it seems, there were no bids after 10
days of listing.

Boaz Myhill pencil drawing
Unofficial.
Available from: Ebay. Asking price: £5
No bids for this gem either, surprisingly. The seller
assures us this is an original pencil drawing and not a
print, furthermore it's signed by the artist. How assuring. How
crap.

City trainers
Official.
Available from: Tiger Leisure. Asking price: £39.99
Much like City, the quality of stock in Tiger Leisure has
improved year on year, but they don't always get it right in the
club shop, take these monstrosities for example. Late 70's/early
80's football casual culture played a large part in making
trainers, previously only seen on those playing sports, part of
the every day streetwear ensemble. Casuals used to wearing
adidas Stan Smith, Nike Wimbledon and Diadora Borg Elite
wouldn't have been seen dead in these, and neither should you.
Not fit to take your dog ratting in.

Hull City wired blazer patch
Unofficial.
Available from: Ebay. Asking price: £4.99
You don't see many people wearing blazers these days, so
this item would appeal to a limited target audience even if it
was any good, and it really isn't. What is going on with the
eyes? They're like the eyes of the kids in Village of the
Damned, only more sinister.
Tod rating:

'Hull City' fan hat
Unofficial.
Available from: Ebay. Asking price: £2.99
I'm not sure when blue and red was added to City's colours.
The item description reads..."JUST
THE HAT FOR ALL HULL CITY FANS,
we have been waiting for these hats
to arrive (just missed out for Wembley)
Be one of the first to get one of
these hats in time for the Pre-Season Games A MUST
FOR ALL TIGER FANS, ONE SIZE FITS ALL, FLASHING LIGHTS WITH
BATTERY INCLUDED AND INSTRUCTIONS, LETS JINGLE ALL THE WAY UP
THE PREMIERSHIP"
I bet you're gutted you didn't have one at Wembley eh?
Tod rating:

Hull City "Tigers" F.C. Collectable (Promoted)
Unofficial.
Available from: Ebay. Asking price: £14.99
"An item with a difference" starts the Ebay blurb, implying
that not many people have one of these, which wouldn't be much
of a surprise. "A hand cut, hand leaded, totally hand made
original cut to symbolise a pair of football boots." Symbolise
is the correct term as I haven't seen any boots that look like
that, ever. "Can be hung up using a plate hanger" says the
seller. Or thrown in the bin.
Tod rating:

Hull City knitted sweater
Unofficial.
Available from: Ebay. Sold for: £1.25
A jumper, seemingly based on the 1966 City shirt. "You
couldn't knit one yourself for this price" boasts the seller,
and since it went for £1.25, they're probably right. £3 postage
meant the auction winner paid £4.25 in total, mind. If you see
anyone wearing this, poke them in the eyeballs, it might stop
them buying shit in the future.
