Uruguayan goalkeeper Pablo Aurrecochea is a certifiable, bad mother shut-yo-mouth. Last night, Aurrecochea, who plays for Club Guarani of Paraguay, faced off against Argentina’s River Plate in the Copa Sudamericana in this fly Superman goalkeeper jersey. If that doesn’t intimidate the opposition, I don’t know what will. I mean, nothing gets by Superman, right? (more…)
We’ve given you some insight into the levels that some of the world’s best known brands have gone to market to football fans. However, it seems like none compare to the marketing efforts of Louis Vuitton. The luxury brand has taken its affiliation with football a step further with its latest campaign featuring the one name wonders, Pele, Maradona and Zizou. The latest campaign features the three icons of football playing a game of fussball in a bar while they reminisce about their glory days. Check it out here. (more…)
If you happen to root for another team outside of the U.S., the Netherlands wouldn’t be a bad choice. They’ve got some decent players, and their color combinations are, well, better than most. If you think about it, style has long been a part of Dutch football. Cruyff, total football, Gullit’s flowing locks, Edgar David’s goggles — all stylish and iconic images that we associate with Dutch football. (more…)
Football great Diego Maradona has been named the latest football ambassador for luxury watchmaker Hublot Genéve. Hublot Genéve, known for Euro-centric football inspired timepieces such as the Red Devil Big Bang (I & II) and the Spain Euro Big Bang, has finally made its way out of Europe and into Latin America with the introduction of the Big Bang Maradona watch.

Who does your dog support? This isn’t a Randy Jackson reference. I don’t do American Idol references. Soft rock references, yes. But never American Idol. Anyway, I’m literally talking about World Cup jackets for your dog, the animal. (more…)
It just seems that the collaboration between football and fashion have no bounds. We’ve written about how football impacts fashion design on and off the pitch with articles featuring the works of fashion designers Dirk Bikkembergs and Stephen Wong. In another illustration of how football serves as creative inspiration for fashion designers, we bring you the work of famed fashion house Louis Vuitton. (more…)
The U.S. soccer landscape is changing. A new level of sophistication is on the horizon in the U.S. soccer fashion market. We recently wrote a piece about Toronto F.C.’s collaboration with famed designer Dirk Bikkembergs. Well, we may have our own Dirk right here in New York City (a small town on the outskirts of Harrison, NJ). Stephen Wong is the Founder and Creative Director of WONG WONG, a design collective inspired by football and fashion. For us, soccer is so many things: style, fashion, versatility and humor. WONG WONG beautifully captures these elements in its original designs. (more…)
A Football Partner’s Secret Weapon
Finally, a football gift that men and women can both enjoy. No, it’s not a team mug. Katy Perry, girlfriend of fellow rocker Russell Brand, donned this tribute to her boyfriend’s favorite club, West Ham, at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards. (more…)
Shoes please.
Looks like Nike might have to go ahead and re-release these again this year. Last year, Nike released these Nike Blazers to commemorate Barcelona’s Champions League victory over Manchester United. Word has it that had United beaten Barcelona at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Nike was going to release some special edition Speedo-like briefs called the Cristianitos, which sounds a bit blasphemous to me. I’d get more use out of the hi tops. (more…)
If you are cool and like soccer, you’ll think these are great looking casual shoes. If you disagree, well, I wish you the best in life. These may not be the shoes for intense training, but they’re definitely a pair of shoes to wear to go watch other people train intensely. I’ll concede that I’m not the coolest of people, so these might not be on my feet. But looking cool is not my most marketable skill set. I’m much better at telling you what’s cool. These shoes? Cool.
