Musician Sam Fender, from North Shields, won the Mercury Award at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle for his album People Watching.
Fender, 31, chose to wear a Picante T-shirt, co-designed by a northerner from Manchester, to the event. The 'Vintage Porter' T-shirt, featuring the Picante logo, was paired with black jeans and boots.
Being northern is something of a point of pride.
The Picante T-shirt is a popular design, priced at £80, and is often seen in public places.
