Nigel Farage welcomed thousands of people to Birmingham's NEC for a two-day conference.
London, UK The Reform UK party has unveiled its latest merchandise collection at its 2025 Party Conference, offering supporters a range of branded items from water bottles to football shirts. A video report from the event, featuring a Metro correspondent, provided a detailed look at the new products. Among the items on display were keyrings, scarves, flags, mugs, notebooks, pens, and pin badges, all adorned with the party's distinctive teal branding. A particular highlight was the "Reform FC Shirt," priced at £40, which prominently features "Farage 10" on the back, a clear reference to the party leader, Nigel Farage, and the upcoming general election. The correspondent noted the abundance of teal-colored items, describing the merchandise area as an "ocean of teal." The party's decision to offer a football-style kit has drawn varied reactions online, with some commentators questioning the appropriateness of such branding for a political party. One social media user commented, "Merch for a political party is a red flag," while another stated, "buying merchandise for any political party is literally the most embarrassing thing." Concerns were also raised regarding the manufacturing origin of some items, with users alleging that "the reform shirts were made in China." Despite the mixed public reception, the merchandise aims to provide supporters with tangible ways to express their affiliation with Reform UK.
