🏟️ 8 out of the 10 biggest stadiums in the world…

📍 Michigan Stadium, University of Michigan
107,601
📍 Beaver Stadium, Penn State
106,572
📍 Ohio Stadium, The Ohio State University
102,780
📍 Kyle Field, Texas A&M University
102,733
📍 Tiger Stadium, Louisiana State University
102,321
📍 Neyland Stadium, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
101,915
📍 Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, The University of Texas at Austin
100,119
📍 Bryant Denny Stadium, The University of Alabama
100,077

What’s the link?

🇺🇸 All of these stadiums can be found on American University campuses!

If only the rest of the world had the same culture embedded within College/University sports that the US does. It’s truly incredible. Mind blowing! 🤯

The opportunity to generate incredible revenues from merchandising and licensing must be insane, albeit vast swathes tied up within licensed rights deals.

❓ Why do you think the US generates such an amazing buzz and euphoria around college sports, but the rest of the world doesn’t? I’m sure most countries would welcome even 10%.

📍Calle Larga Mazzini 4800/B, Venezia 🇮🇹

🤌 Authentic Italian style

Venezia FC are known as ‘the most fashionable club in the world’ by many in the football kit collectors world. The Lega Serie B club may not be having the best of times on the pitch but off the pitch, a very different story.

Check out the brand new boujee flagship store which they have just opened in the shadow of the Rialto Bridge. It’s far from a traditional club shop in both look and experience. It’s Venezia FC, it’s what they do.

Showcasing their emphatic replica kit collections in both short and, the revered, long sleeved versions, alongside their independent capsules and collaborations, the store will generate the exposure they’re hoping for.

It’s truly authentic to the Venezia FC brand and also features their high profile Rain Collection & Lido swimwear collections (Google them both…). Massive respect for the vision they have and the brand reputation they’re creating.

Check out these amazing images 👇

📍 New York City, United States 🇺🇸

The NBA offices in New York City look incredible! There won’t be too many WFH requests from the staff based here!

📍Milano Centrale, Milan 🇮🇹

🤌 Simply stunning

Check out this incredible new brand activation pop-up for AC Milan.

Premium brand alignment for this 20sq. metre unit. It’s important to recognise this activation isn’t about high volume retail and revenues.

This is all about a brand alignment concept and forms an important part of the wider retail strategy for AC Milan.

🔥 DESIGN | Is this one of the most creative, bespoke jerseys ever designed and produced?

hummel have designed this incredible long sleeved (check out the sleeve details) shirt for Brøndby IF for the 2022/23 season.

The level of detail within this shirt is a common theme that runs across the global Hummel design offices. As a disruptive, challenger brand, it’s a massively important USP that they uphold. Find out why this is so important and much, much more in our most recent podcast episode:
