Archie Collection

The Archie Collection from A Rebellious Nature is inspired by one of the most iconic moments in Scottish football history – Archie Gemmill’s unforgettable goal against Holland in the 1978 World Cup. It is a moment that lives on in the hearts of Scotland fans, not only for the brilliance of the goal itself but for what it represented – passion, pride, and the belief that Scotland could stand toe to toe with the best in the world.

Made even more famous by the cult film Trainspotting, the moment was immortalised with the unforgettable line: “I haven’t felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978!”. It was a cultural reference that connected football, film, and identity, showing just how deeply that goal resonated across generations. The Archie Collection takes that spirit and turns it into bold, wearable designs that celebrate both the player and the legacy of the moment.

Everyday Style with a Cultural Edge

The Archie Collection includes t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and tote bags, each carrying a design inspired by the quote and the iconic memory it represents. These pieces are not just for football fans, they are for anyone who loves Scotland’s sporting history, its cultural references, and its unique sense of humour. Whether you are reliving the 1978 moment or discovering it through Trainspotting, this collection lets you carry a piece of that legacy into daily life.
