Bands FC have been one of the most creative additions to modern football culture in recent years.
The concept is simple. Bands as football teams, football teams as bands. And it all manifests itself in the shape of innovative logos.
Exhibition
Bands FC currently have an exhibition running at Dublin's Rascals Brewery until Sunday, October 20th and admission is also free if you're hoping to pop along.
After the launch of the exhibition, co-founders Nick Fraser and Mark Liptrott joined me in studio on Team 33.
The duo explained how they came up with the idea and also showed us some of the individual designs.

Bands featured include Franz Ferdinand, Echo & The Bunnymen and Dublin's own Fontaines re-imagined as football badges. Plus, the lads also gave their views on the modern club trend of updating badge and crest designs.
