As Oasis Gear Up for Australia, Umbro Reissues Liam Gallagher’s Iconic Top

The Oasis legend’s Maine Road jacket is finally back — just in time for the Gallagher wave to hit Down Under.

With Oasis rumblings growing louder – and Liam Gallagher heading to Australia, no beef with his brother in sight – Umbro has dropped a cultural bombshell of its own: the official reissue of the iconic drill top Liam wore at Oasis’ historic 1996 Maine Road gig.

This isn’t just a vintage reboot. This is the exact top that helped blur the lines between football culture and rockstar cool nearly 30 years ago. On that chilly April night in Manchester, Gallagher reportedly grabbed the Umbro piece from the stadium to keep warm before the show — unknowingly setting off a seismic shift in how sportswear crossed into streetwear.

Now, as Aussie fans prepare for their own slice of Oasis history, Umbro has brought the grail back to life. The “faithfully recreated” reissue stays true to the original with 100% cotton drill fabric, a boxy ‘90s fit, contrast panelling, and that unmistakable Diamond logo that’s basically a throwback badge of honour. It’s been garment-washed for that already-worn feel, like something you’ve had since the glory days.

The drop doesn’t stop at the top either. Umbro’s gone full capsule with matching drill pants, tees, shorts and even a bucket hat — all soaked in the same colourway Liam made famous, just in time for Oasis season and setlists full of “Supersonic” and “Live Forever.”

Helene Hope, Umbro’s Head of Global Brand Marketing, said: “The appearance of the Umbro Drill Top on the stage at Maine Road in 1996 was truly iconic. There aren’t many moments in time that can lay claim to shifting the culture of football in such a seismic way.”

It’s a full-circle moment — the jacket that helped define Oasis’ golden era is back on shelves, just as Liam brings the songs that built it all to Australia. Ready to wear your history?
