England Euro '96

Those who know me even informally know that I love soccer (which I will heretofor refer to as "football") and that I collect and wear football shirts. It was my plan for some time to combine my love of football shirts with my love of poster design into a coffee table book. American readers may see this as appealing to the smallest of niche markets, but I'm convinced it could have been a hit abroad.

Sadly, the ability to get the rights to team and manufacturer logos proved to be too daunting. I just wanted to make some posters, man.

This particular poster was inspired by England's away shirt from the Euro 1996 Semifinal game. It's probably one of the least popular shirts in England's history, but it's one of my favorites. If you're curious, a low-quality image of the shirt can be viewed here.
