The ball’s back in the park: What you need to know about World Cup designs

After 4 long years, the time has come again: The biggest kick-off of the year will be taking place on 12th June. The football world cup in Brazil is an excellent opportunity to get creative again. But: similar to the Olympic Games in Sotchi, it is important to respect third party trademarks. This is particularly true for FIFA copyrights on images and wording – so please bear this in mind.

Taboo: the official FIFA logo and slogan (see image above) as well as any word combination such as “All in one rhythm”, “Football World Cup”, “Brazil 2014” or abbreviations such as “WC 2014” etc.
HERE you can find an official FIFA guideline for using their logo and slogans.

Spreadshirt cannot condone unauthorised distribution of trademarks, and this is also true for logos and brands of FIFA’s sponsors, partners and other trademarks.
A comprehensive list of FIFA partners can be found on this site.
More information about image and word trademarks can be found on the official FIFA homepage.
Registered trademarks can always be examined on i.e. HERE, HERE and HERE as well as on the WIPO site.

Polar bears, narwhals, a vision and a webshop

What comes to your mind when you hear the word Arctic? Probably a lot of ice and snow and maybe also some animals. The Arctic is in a critical condition and there are efforts being made to raise awareness and save this region. Why not do so with a Spreadshirt shop? Nadia from Denmark is combining creativity, passion and the inspiration of the Danish singer and artist Oh Land to play her part in a big cause.

Who are you and what do you do?

I’m Nadia, a Dane who lives in Sweden. I dabble in creative writing and product design as well as business concepts – fun stuff.

Can you describe your project?

I have wanted to help the Arctic for a long time. Being Scandinavian has something to do with it. I started following the changes to the landscape in Greenland and the impact made by global warming a long time ago. When habitats for polar animals disappear, habitats for human beings disappear somewhere else on Earth, too. We all depend on the Arctic. One day I noticed that Oh Land (a Danish singer and artist, currently living in New York) fits this cause very well, and then I discovered that she was among the very first to sign the petition on www.savethearctic.org. I felt very inspired by that, and ideas of images started to take shape in my head.

Soon after came the idea of a webshop donating the proceeds to the cause. Basically I have been working on my Spreadshirt shop since then.

Fun, Games and T-shirt Shenanigans!

You can’t wake people who pretend to be asleep, but you can surely crack them up. An easy way to do that is by wearing a T-shirt that’s just irresistibly funny. Those who get the humour on your tee can only hold a smile for so long – after that it’s just teeth! Banter makes the world go round, and all you need is laugh. At least this is what we think those four lads from Liverpool really meant…

And of course you can express a sense of humour on other products as well. We’ve got over 180 products on offer that are just waiting to bring out a more humorous fashion. There are so many ways to be funny. You can tell everybody on your tee what you had for tea, or say it on a coffee mug. Coffee doesn’t ask silly questions, coffee understands.

Check out our fun designs below for some inspiration. A number of friendly animals have tried our T-shirts, and a happy T-Rex tried clapping his hands for us (in vain). Then there are sheep afflicted with the tourette syndrome, and fun messages such as what kind of high-five some people really deserve. And if you should be into more profound graphical depictions, you should really check out the Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock design. Now it’s up to you to raise a few bemused eye-brows and to wake up dozing heads with sudden outbursts of laughter.
