Matilda Sam Kerr’s ‘suck on that one’ line immortalised on T-Shirt

Matildas captain Sam Kerr’s ‘suck on that one’ call earned her criticism and praise in equal measure. Now you can wear her retort - literally.

IT’S a good time to be a T-shirt printer in France.

And they can thank Sam Kerr for making them a motza off travelling fans getting behind the irreverent Matildas skipper.

As soon as hours after she hit back at “the haters” following Australia’s 3-2 Women’s World Cup comeback win over Brazil in Montpellier, the 25-year-old’s “suck on that one” tagline was already being sartorially immortalised.

Kerr was criticised from some quarters, particular ex-players, over her choice of words, but also widely supported after calling out a homophobic troll on Twitter.

Two days after the game, former West Coast Eagles star Daniel got behind his little sister by wearing a newly printed T-shirt bearing the words ‘SUCK ON THAT ONE - Sam Kerr 2019’ as he knocked back a pint in a video shared on social media.

By matchday three in Grenoble the word had clearly spread, and a throng of fans had followed suit by wearing the navy and yellow numbers.

It was good timing too, given Kerr scored a record-breaking four goals against Jamaica to fire the Matildas into the round of 16.

Next stop is Norway in Nice, and a potential multiplying of cheeky-shirt enthusiasts.

‘SUCK ON THAT ONE’ tank tops are also available to buy online, with the bonus of coming slim fit and ethically sourced.
