Pat Milbery collaborated with Adidas and the Colorado Rapids to create the MLS first ever official soccer jersey collaboration with an Artist, which was centered around Mental Health awareness.
I came on this project after the initial Jersey design, but I did get to design the accessories (scarf, socks, hats, jersey numbers) dropped along with the jersey.
As an avid enthusiast of creative artwork and streetwear, I often noticed that artist collaborations, while featuring impressive artwork, don't always seamlessly integrate into the daily outfits of the target audience.
To address this, I recommended a design approach that keeps the exterior of the glasses clean and fresh with a two-toned frame—featuring a solid color on the top half and a colorful tortoise pattern on the lower half. The intricate artwork is showcased on the inside of the glasses, ensuring they remain stylish and versatile for everyday wear while adding a unique touch of creativity.
At the Rapids Season Kickoff Party in March 2023, fans had an exciting opportunity to personalize their jerseys for free with custom numbers designed by me.
This event allowed supporters to not only showcase their team spirit but also add a unique touch to their apparel. The custom numbers, which I designed for Pat, featured geometric pattern that pays homage to Pat's signature style and reflected the dynamic energy and passion of the Rapids community, making each jersey a standout piece.
It was a pleasure to see fans enthusiastically engaging with the customization process and proudly wearing their personalized jerseys, enhancing their connection to the team.
