A single suited figure appears against a black background, with the face covered by the yellow circle bearing the title \u003cstrong\u003e“nimrod.”\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Green Day name runs vertically along the side, using the black, white and yellow palette associated with the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNimrod, Green Day broadens its musical scope\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in \u003cstrong\u003e1997\u003c\/strong\u003e, three years after \u003cem\u003eDookie\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNimrod\u003c\/em\u003e saw Green Day move beyond the punk rock framework that had driven their breakthrough. The band retained its energy while exploring a considerably wider range of sounds and formats throughout the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record includes \u003cem\u003eHitchin' a Ride\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNice Guys Finish Last\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRedundant\u003c\/em\u003e and, most famously, \u003cem\u003eGood Riddance (Time of Your Life)\u003c\/em\u003e. Built around acoustic guitar and strings, the latter became one of Green Day's best-known songs despite sounding markedly different from the music that had propelled the band to international success with \u003cem\u003eDookie\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy “Nimrod”?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe English word \u003cem\u003enimrod\u003c\/em\u003e has a rather unusual history. Originally, \u003cstrong\u003eNimrod is a biblical figure described as a mighty hunter\u003c\/strong\u003e. In American English, however, the word eventually developed a mocking meaning and can be used to describe a foolish or stupid person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis double meaning gives the album title its offbeat character. The original cover takes the concept further by hiding the faces of two men behind circles bearing the word \u003cstrong\u003e“nimrod.”\u003c\/strong\u003e. The artwork on this patch crops the composition to feature one of those two figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 × 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e rectangular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e iron-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLicence:\u003c\/strong\u003e official Green Day merchandise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Green Day","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57171285737798,"sku":"pa1084","price":6.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/6346\/4774\/files\/pa1084.webp?v=1787269006","url":"https:\/\/musikmachine.com\/en\/products\/ecusson-green-day-nimrod","provider":"MusikMachine RockShop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
