Japanese artist Takeru Amano teamed up with Patterns of Play to create the first team kit in ‘The Balls Project’ series for Amasokolara FC – a grassroots football team from the township of Alexandra in Johannesburg, South Africa. Only 200 were produced and each shirt comes with a certificate of authenticity.
We worked closely with Takeru to design the kit, taking inspiration from his famous graffiti styled artwork. Takeru created custom sprayed pieces for us in his Tokyo studio, featuring a reimagined interpretation of the team crest, our POP logo and a set of individual squad numbers. Again we will be putting a chunk of the profits back towards supporting the team. We’re calling this the second half.

1. They hold value. Unlike a fake or a replica vintage shirts almost always go up in value, if you keep them in good condition. 💰
2. You will look like a legend. You know the feeling. If you go to a game in a 'bruised banana' or an authentic 1990 England shirt. You'll get a silent nod, maybe even a pat on the back or a 'nice shirt mate'. 🕶️
3. Nostalgia. We love vintage shirts, not just because of the cool designs, but the memories they evoke. They'll help you relive the magic moment and remind you of players, teams and a totally different era. ⏱️
