National Teams Custom Typefaces

National Teams Custom Typefaces

Nike, Inc., Hillsboro, Oregon, 2005

Description

As part of the complete redesign of the National Team Kits for World Cup 2006, each Nike-sponsored federation received its own custom-designed number and font set. Each set drew inspiration from the team’s culture, heritage and style of play, reflecting Nike’s respect for and dedication to the varied teams we support.

Juror Notes

Attributing national characteristics to letterforms that also work on sports jerseys is great.
