WOULD YOU WEAR YOUR FAV ALBUM AS A SOCCER JERSEY?

Well, if you’re a fan of both music and soccer then we can safely assume your answer would be yes, right? The concept of taking your favorite album’s artwork and turning that into a soccer jersey begs the question of why it’s never been done before. Well, thanks to graphic designer Nick Texeira, we now have a good reason to push this design notion into reality, as his reimagining of some of today’s most popular music album artwork into kits proves just how amazing this idea can be.

Texeira’s concept artwork seen here focuses mainly on popular hip-hop albums, which he has turned into the designs for an array of global team kits, as well as throwing in his own choice of sponsored branding. This includes such mashups as A$AP Rocky’s Testing with Chelsea FC; Post Malone’s Stoney with FC Barcelona, Migos’ Culture II with Atlanta United FC; Drake’s Scorpion with Toronto FC; and Young Thug’s Slime Language with LAFC and more, not to mention other types of concept kits on Texeira’s Instagram account. Have a look at the designs Nick Texeira has put together, as well as his official website, then leave us a comment on what album x soccer jersey you would want to wear.

REIGNING CHAMP’S CHAMPIONS PACK WITH TORONTO FC

Canadian-based premium athletic brand Reigning Champ will drop their monochromatic “MLS Cup Champions Pack” in collaboration with Toronto FC tomorrow, commemorating the team’s win in the 2017 MLS Cup last December over the Seattle Sounders. The words “Reigning Champ” and the clubs logo are proudly displayed across the chest. A star, with the number 17 inside, appears on various spots of each product. The design, kept rather simple, makes a bold statement.

Handcrafted in Canada and custom made for Toronto FC, Reigning Champs’ signature midweight terry and ring spun jersey complete the design. The pack released a black sweatshirt and jogger pants set, as well as two t-shirts—one black and one white, each sharply contrasted with clean colorways. Check out the pieces from the “MLS Cup Champions Pack” below.

Toronto FC starters Alex Bono, Jonathon Osario, Chris Mavinga, and Ashtone Morgan modeled the pack around Toronto’s BMO Field, home to the team’s championship win. The pack releases early Wednesday morning at 8 AM PST online at ReigningChamp.com and in Reigning Champ Flagship stores throughout Toronto.
