The Legacy of Superkloppbanana

The legacy of Superkloppbanana traces back to the iconic Superlambanana, a creation by Japanese artist Taro Chiezo in 2008 for the European Capital City of Culture. This quirky sculpture, which represented not only the serious contemporary issue of genetic engineering (merging a lamb and a banana - just two of the items traded through the city's docks historically), but also a sense of humour. It soon became as popular and beloved a symbol of Liverpool as the iconic Liver birds.

Inspired by the Superlambanana's popularity and the vibrant spirit of Liverpool, Superkloppbanana emerged as a tribute to the city's rich heritage and the enduring legacy of its people. The transition from Superlambanana to Superkloppbanana symbolizes not just a shift in form, but also embodies the infectious personality, humour, and success of Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool Football Club's revered manager.

Our journey began over 8 years ago when the Superlambanana was transformed into our beloved Superkloppbanana, with a vision to use its uniqueness to support charitable causes. As Klopp bids farewell in 2024, our Superkloppbanana embarks on a special "farewell" tour across Liverpool, offering unique photo opportunities and raising funds for the Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation and the LFC Foundation.
