New Urban Designs: Live Breathe Futbol

This weekend we had a chance to connect with a special brand with the newest inspirations out of Philadelphia. We often see fashion and design motivated by daily life or love, and in this day in age common interest and the shared passion amongst young urban professionals have created an even larger source of inspiration. Creator and founder, Ebun of Live Breathe Futbol,  gives us insight on the story behind his new urban clothing brand, that mixes city, culture, and love of the game that we know. Follow Ebun and his brand as he takes us into the inspiration that drives LIVE, BREATHE, FUTBOL.

What is LBF?

LBF stands for LIVE BREATHE FUTBOL. The brand is founded by a futbol fanatic who decided to mesh his passion for design and futbol by creating a line of clothing that captures the very best moments in futbol. The brand embodies the fact that you can get a game of futbol going anytime and anywhere as long as you have a ball handy.

Who is the creator and what is his vision?

My name is Ebun and I’m currently an architecture major at Temple University. My vision for LBF was to create a brand that embodies living and breathing futbol. The passion that people have for the game all over the world is incredible and I want to showcase this through the clothing. As the creator of Live Breathe Futbol (LBF) the game has been a major part of my life growing up. The brand is fusion of my two passions: designing clothing and playing futbol. I realized right after I designed the first LBF shirt how many people across the world could relate to those three words.

How did the brand start?

The brand started in Philadelphia, PA. I had been painting Tshirts with my favorite futbol stars for the longest time. One day I was in a class and I was sketching a t-shirt in my sketchbook with the words “Live Breathe Futbol” on it. I printed up a few dozen, all my friends loved it and the brand was unofficially born from that.

What’s the brands mission?

LBF’s mission is to provide futbol fans with clothing that embodies the passion they have for the beautiful game. The clothing will also capture the incredible moments that we talk about long after the games are over.

How do you see the brand now and in the future?

I see the brand now on the up-swing. It’s sort of in a phase where there is a novelty about it. The shirts aren’t mass produced and once certain designs are sold out, they are gone for a while. In the future, I hope to expand into more articles of clothing while retaining the core message of the brand. Ultimately, I want LBF to be the brand one thinks of when they think of brands that truly embody the meaning of futbol.

SoccerPirrs Product WATCH: Who Are Ya Designs

By now the trusty brand Who Are Ya Designs, has burst into the football scene making appearances in the media, on celebs, with pro players and on fans across the world.  I had a chance to catch up with creative director Chris Williams.  With big plans to release his seasonal designs, Chris explains a little bit more about the company and how a growing brand has larger plans than just selling awesome shirts: “Promoting the love of football in the US isn’t the only goal of this t-shirt company. Who Are Ya Designs has teamed up with several non-profit organizations to help fulfill their missions. Seattle Scores, an organization which builds leadership and teamwork skills and boosts literacy through fun activities for under served children in the Seattle area and most recently UNICEF to help with the disaster in Haiti.”

More About the Company: Who Are Ya Designs makes unofficial t-shirts for the football (soccer) supporter in the know. Irreverent and cheeky, Who Are Ya Designs is very responsive to what is happening in football today. If the ref makes bad calls during a match on Sunday morning…you can guarantee The Ref’s a F%#ing Wanker shirt will be designed and up for sale by Sunday night. If the US taxpayers bail AIG out then Who Are Ya Designs will be the ones to “redesign” Manchester United’s jerseys from AIG to IOU…”You’ll Never Walk Alone” and “I’d Rather Walk Alone”, there are plenty of designs for you to choose from. You never know where one of the Who Are Ya shirts is going to pop up…they’ve been seen on BBC, CNN, and if you ever tuned into Fox Football Fone-In, you could have caught Eric Wynalda and Nick Webster wearing them too. More important than finding them on TV is seeing them at the matches. From Stamford Bridge to Wembley, these shirts have street cred.

Adidas Track Top

Nothing better than a classic throw back. Definately brings you back to the good ole days. Nothing says bring in the new year with fresh new oldies. Now, if you’re like me and you enjoy a good collar, then you’ll prefer the subtle difference in the Firdbird track suit insted. Either way, both nice for yourself or a fellow player in mind.

As much as these jacket speak old school, they’re brining the flavor of urban back to the scene.

And just in case you have no one in mind for these items, just remember there always a bit of funk and hip hop in all of us. Cheers!
