Manc E Magic

Theme: Manchester

A cult collision of Eastern legend and Northern swagger, MANc E Magic fuses the iconic figure of Monkey from the classic 1970s TV series with Ian Brown, frontman of The Stone Roses and Madchester royalty. With his simian features and mystical cool, Brown was often nicknamed “Monkey Man”—this design runs with that likeness, reimagining him as a cosmic warrior. Clad in the vibrant yellow and red robes of the original Monkey King, our hybrid figure radiates a quiet power—part martial arts monk, part indie icon. The phrase "MANc E" crowns the top of the design in stark black, while "Magic"grounds it at the bottom, also in black—framing the image like a chant or incantation. It's a meeting of myth and music, of kung fu folklore and acid house energy. A trip not just from East to West, but from stage to mountaintop. Trippy! Ta kid!
