Insider Guide: Jonny Banger

(Brent Cross Town)
Get to know North London through the eyes of locals we love. From chefs and DJ’s to fitness and fashion professionals, our insiders share their favourite spots in the capital’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

Brent Cross Town Insider Jonny Banger is an artist, raver and founder of UK-based clothing brand Sports Banger.

I’m Jonny Banger, founder of Sports Banger. I established our studio and shop on Seven Sisters  in 2013

Our first t-shirt design was ‘FREE TULISA’ — in support of the British icon and North London local. My work interrogates British pop culture, class and politics through the subversion and appropriation of branding. One of Sports Banger’s most infamous designs is the 2015  ‘NHS Nike’, produced in support of junior doctors. You might have spotted it around London and beyond! We released the bootleg ‘NHS Nike’ design in 2020, amidst the Covid-19 lockdown measures. All sales profits were channeled into a programme feeding healthcare workers across London.
