Mackem Daft launches 6-in-a-row Sunderland Christmas jumper - here's a first look

A Wearside company has come up with the ideal gift for Sunderland fans - it's a '6-in-a-row' Christmas jumper.

Card and souvenir business Mackem Daft reckon they have had the last laugh in the banter between Sunderland and Newcastle fans in time for the festive season.

Ho Ho Ho, still 6 in a row

They have produced a Christmas jumper style sweatshirt with the words “Ho, Ho, Ho, still 6 in a row."

It's a nod towards Sunderland’s famous 6 North East derby wins in a row over the Magpies.

One of the founders of Mackem Daft, Mal Robinson said: “The main driver for me was having to eat Christmas dinner with three mags - two brother-in-laws and a nephew.

'I will be enjoying the last laugh with my 6 in a row jumper on'

"This coupled with the constant wind ups about their Champions League appearance, now means I will be enjoying the last laugh and the festivities with my six in a row jumper on! I can’t wait to see their faces.”

The 6 in a row Christmas jumper is one of a range of designs from Mackem Daft, with other themed sweatshirts including a version of the 1992 Cup Final away strip and one with “Ha’way the Lads!”

Mackem Daft was launched in lockdown in 2020 and has grown in popularity with their range of local cards and merchandise.

Mal added: "Our products are made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver them.

"Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction”.

The local firm made headlines earlier this year for their production of a T Shirt, celebrating Sunderland captain, Luke O’ Nien’s now famous rescue of a dog on the Sunderland seafront.

It shows a photo of the Sunderland star as well as the words 'he'll shoot, he'll score, he'll save your Labrador, Luke O'Nien"
