The World Cup

Last night I uttered words that I never thought would leave these lips: we need to discuss our World Cup weekend plans. In most American households, The World Series, The Super Bowl, or even The Stanley Cup get high billing, but in mine, this every 4-year tournament is paramount to any sporting event. (Olympics who?) I simply can’t pretend to totally care, but mix a little design and entertaining into the sport, and I’m game.

I saw this soccer tape by Magis at ICFF this year…just tape up a wad of newspaper and that’s all you need to DIY a soccer ball! Found on Design Revolution Road Show.
