Champion T's

Two- top local designers and two design students designed crests for Umbro that represent South African football culture. I love the way they soaked up the World Cup gees and incorporated all sorts of distinctly local details.

 

TwoShoes Design explains that their emblem represents soccer as a uniting force for our nation. The 11 stars represent each player on the team and the 11 official languages of our country.

Mingo Lamberti (love their T's: check them out here) took inspiration from makarabas and used shapes that are typically found in the African cultures to give it a vibrant, African feel.

Vega students Lauren Smith and Nikita da Silva drew inspiration from other SA artists, urban hair salons , shweshwe fabrics and stitching designs.
