Westeros Families as Game of Thrones Football Clubs

Ryan Nance July 26, 2017

Freelance graphic designer Nerea Palacios used the Nike football uniform as a canvas to express the essence of each of the iconic houses on the HBO series as if they were teams perhaps partaking in the FIFA World Cup series.

A BBC Football Commentator's Gorgeously Hand-drawn Match Notes To Make Designers Drool

Ryan Nance August 24, 2016

Over on Eight by Eight there's a focus on the gorgeous hand-drawn match notes prepared before every match by BBC Radio Newcastle’s Nick Barnes. From the impeccable hand lettering to the crest of the opposing team, I am equally inspired and envious of his deft, emblematic and downright stunning notes. Just check out the tiny flags he inflects each of the opposing player's with.

He says he rarely refers to them during the match, but it's not surprising that after employing  such attention in their creation, he wouldn't need to.

Terrão de Cima - Photos of Soccer Pitches in the Sao Paulo Slums by Renato Stockler

Ryan Nance July 20, 2016

From Renato Stockler:

A “terrao" is an oasis in the urban landscape. The reddish tone of a soccer field turns into a stage for the resistance of popular soccer. These fields are increasingly rare to see because of property speculation and land occupation. Some of them have their own football clubs, while others are public spots. Some of them are mainly dirt, while others are of sand and weathered grass. But they are a breath for the hard daily life of those who live in the outskirts of Sao Paulo. These fields show the urgency for public and communal places to practice sports, a portrait of those who fight for leisure in a city as Sao Paulo. Colored and powerful in the face of the greyish scenario, these fields are a solid basis of soccer’s spirit in Brasil. It’s not hard to find friends, relatives, adults and children cheering together for their local teams. Even through social and political difficulties, a “terrao" shows us the real soccer, far away from a society mediated by powerful media groups. The rawness of a “terrao"can't be fitted as a media spectacle.
