Columbus X Houston




Inspiration for the style comes from the torcidas in Latin America. The simplicity of the font makes this banner stand out. Defender Frankie Hejduk (in the banner's center) is the spirit of the Nordecke. Pure passion for the the colors!




I didn't know HOW the heck the man would turn out with all of the expression lines and shading. Up close it appeared like a grease fire to me. I mixed colors to find that blend though and well the rest is seen here. Inspiration, thought, and idea came from the old WWII posters (I like retro tins, posters, ads, etc.)



Before the match, there were windy conditions due to looming storms later in the late night, but the temperatures were into the high 90's.
