2000: New Stadium, New Ideas

In 1999, Columbus would move into a new stadium, the very first specifically built for soccer to a Major League Soccer team. After seeing the amount of railing space, I just knew that banners would make a great scene in showing support. So in 2000 I would make four long banners, Get Goals, Vamonos Crew, Work N' Progress and Glory, Glory To Columbus. Back then I would do everything by freehand, with pencils, a yardstick, and spraypaint.

1998: The Obsession Begins

After a few years of following the European game, I decided that Columbus could use something to show that I support them. So on a hot and humid summer day in 1998 I decided to create my very first banner with spray paint. And the final product?

From this moment on, I would make banners that would have some meaning and/or connection to the team. 'Mix It Up' was made at a time when Columbus were playing a predictable type of game and I wanted to see them mix their style of play.
