Hip Flasks
(7)Officially Licensed Club Hip Flasks and Tankards
A small adult section, entirely club-crested and built around one shape. Standard crested hip flasks cover Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham and West Ham, with Liverpool offering both an executive flask and a stainless steel tankard. It is a traditional gift category that survives because it suits the occasions other club merchandise does not — a fortieth, a retirement, a father's birthday.
Flask or tankard?
A hip flask is the portable, personal gift: it goes to the match, the golf course or the walk, and it is meant to be carried. A tankard is a keepsake that stays at home, sits on a shelf and gets used occasionally. If the gift is marking something — a milestone birthday, long service — the tankard reads as the more significant object.
Is the steel safe for spirits?
Yes. These are food-grade stainless steel with a screw cap, so they hold spirits without tainting the drink or corroding, which is the failure mode of plated flasks after a few fills.
