Words by the designer:

The concept for the tee revolves around the European origin of the game, the king from a deck of cards, and the iconic makaraba helmet and vuvuzela honoring the present!

I realized that some of our international friends might not be aware of the culture of South African soccer supporters, so here are a few links which may help:

Cool stuff! The King looks a lot like Johnny Depp – intentional or not? I’d wear it for the Johnny Depp lookalike.

I think it’ll be more rewarding for people to see an image they recognize from somewhere transformed into something new as opposed to giving them the whole reference straight away…

I digz the idea, it just seems slightly incomplete…like something critical is missing. Maybe its the card shape to encapsulize the image thats missing.

I guess I just liked the idea that soccer has an ability to bring people together to enjoy something in common. So, yeah. Love.

I hope this shirt doesn’t win, so that you can make an entire house of cards designed, and have them manufactured for the world cup.
