2 - Baseball Jerseys Transported to a Soccer Universe

Ryan Nance January 24, 2013

Designer M. Willis needed something to do. He decided as an exercise to test his design chops and indulge his love of soccer. "Soccer Out of Context - a look at how other identities and brand properties would appear in the soccer / fútbol aesthetic, instead of their own. "

His Rules:

  • I’m not reinventing club histories, or pretending clubs were soccer teams all along, just translating their brands to the soccer “universe”.
  • I’m not changing logos, colors or visual properties - just trying to play within existing boundaries.
  • Today I’m using soccer kits - jersey shirts only, really, as this was a quick exercise - as the visual output. One per team, too - no away designs this time.
  • Where I can, I’m making guesses about the identities to fill in blank spots that don’t map easily over to soccer.
  • I’m trying to have fun, and I don’t take this seriously as anything more than palate-cleansing design exercise.
