NMRD Object of the Month: Shoetown Slayers & Vendetta Vixens Roller Derby team shirts

Established in 2012, the National Museum of Roller Derby (NMRD) is the UK’s first permanent collection of ephemera and memorabilia relating to the sport of Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby. In 2016, to celebrate our new permanent home in Glasgow Women’s Library’s new Bridgeton HQ, we bring you an ‘Object of the Month’ from our ever expanding collections.

We want your old team shirts, flyers, zines and other paraphernalia to illustrate the remarkable development of the sport in the UK. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for future announcements on how to donate items to the Museum.

Two Northamptonshire teams’ shirts, Shoetown Slayers & Vendetta Vixens. The teams came together to contribute items to and help select items from the NMRD for the Playworld exhibition at NN Contemporary Art, Northampton, in 2014.
