Open for one month during the Euro 2016 football tournament, La Galerie du Ballon, a pop-up shop in Paris, was the go-to football gear emporium for fans interested in a wholly different side of football. Football culture and goods curated like a Robert Rauschenberg retrospective at the Whitney. Yes, it was that good.
I had the pleasure of designing two football shirts for Le Ballon, a Parisian amateur football league which has since become synonymous with style as much as it has football.
Both shirts are inspired by Le Ballon’s corporate identity of a linear dazzle camo pattern.
Upon purchase of a Le Ballon shirt, customers were given the opportunity of customizing their bespoke football shirt with some stunning badges and name/numbering created by the wide range of designers that Le Ballon has brought together.
And the creativity in customizing was surely not lacking.
