Recently went to an Umbro x New York Cosmos launch to support.

Chairman, CEO (and ambitious gentleman) Paul Kemsley and Honorary President Pelé (!!) are leading the relaunch of the New York Cosmos soccer club, the former historic NASL team founded in 1971.

 Aiming to be the 20th MLS team in 2013, former Manchester United player Eric Cantona was appointed as Director of Soccer this past January. Learn more about the NY Cosmo's fantastic history and future at NYCosmos.com.

I was also graciously asked to design ties for the New York team. You can see the ties on Pelé, Paul Kemsley, and Eric Cantona, respectively.




You can view more photos from their NY Cosmos Asia Tour 2011 here.

Designer's Palette: Earth Movers





As a designer's resource for color, our newest segment reveals color palettes extracted from works by numerous photographs, fashion designers, and artists that I am inspired by.
