POST-COLONIAL SPORTZ TEAMS
POST-COLONIAL SPORTZ TEAMS is a satirical project turning the visual language of contemporary branding on its head to reveal hidden truths buried deep within the social fabric of society. These are sports team emblems that now show the possibility of what a team logo can be, and break any ideological constraints of what sports team logos are in defining what a sport is.
This is branding made abstract, and fun.
