  • 🧢 This strictly limited edition collections ticks the core components of a successful merchandise 'drop'. ✔️ 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 Storytelling is a key component to driving consumer engagement and acquiring the emotional attachment. ✔️ 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 𝒂𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 Consumers look for exceptional design aesthetics within their purchasing choices. The classic lockup of the "NY" brand, the World Series side patch, the '47 HITCH silhouette and the subtle contrast under-visor colour really hits the mark on this collection. ✔️ 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚 Collectors love exclusivity. This range is limited to only 147 pieces, each with it's own numbered certificate of authenticity. This level of production will ensure a very quick sell-out, driving revenue over a short period and helping to create a growing level of FOMO ("fear of missing out") across future limited collection drops. Great work, Costa Kargas and the team at '47. This Dynasty Collection will fly! #exclusive #limited #limitededition #capsule #collection #drop #merchandise #sport #sports #lifestyle #NY #newyork #yankees #merch

    As the African proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Similarly, it took a collaborative team effort to bring this new concept to life: The '47 New York Yankees Dynasty Collection. About nine months ago, I had the idea to create a unique, numbered, limited-edition box set that would combine two intersecting passions: cap collecting and sports history. When it came to choosing a baseball team for this collection, there was only one option. As a lifelong New York Yankees fan, it was an easy decision to highlight the winningest professional sports organization of all time—an iconic team with a storied history, unforgettable moments, and legendary personalities. How does a project like this come together? •It begins with designing and developing the caps themselves. •Selecting iconic World Series side patches and pairing them with the corresponding “NY” logos from those championship years. •Combining these elements with our best-suited headwear style : the Hitch silhouette, offered in a range of colors inspired by the World Series patches. •Once the cap designs are finalized, they are sent to our standout licensing team—Kathleen Crane and Angie Sullivan—for Major League Baseball (MLB) approval. •The design and production of the box set begin. •After receiving the finished caps from the factory, our talented e-commerce team—Manny Alamwala, Shawn McGrath, and Tristan Austin—creates the landing page, ads and digital collateral using product photography by Phil Calla •Finally, the moment of truth: we launch. I’m really proud of how this box set turned out and even prouder to have been part of such a dedicated group effort. Looking forward to starting work on the next one.

    🎄⚽️ It’s Christmas jumper time folks! 👨🏻🤝👨🏼 Here’s David Cook and I wearing ours, and a round up of this year’s Christmas jumpers from all the Premier League clubs. 👍Which one is the best? 👎Which one is the worst? 😂 Of course, poor old Dave’s Luton Town Football Club one isn’t a Premier League contender this season, but he’s putting a brave face on all the same! My Fulham Football Club might be the pick of the lot though! 🤷🏽 I still can’t believe more brands and retailers don’t sell or give away their own versions of these. Such an easy, fun way to engage with and grow your audience. 📇 If you’re thinking about it, reach out and I’ll introduce you to the right person. #Retail #Football #PremierLeague #Christmas

  • What an unbelievable opportunity for all the budding football kit designers out there! This is an amazing piece of engagement, showcasing the capabilities of #AI and giving DEEPOBJECTS a fantastic platform to show off their creator product. 😎 Not only is the concept super cool, it's also incredibly tangible too with the winning design chosen to be launched as the official 2026/27 third kit of Manchester City Football Club, one of the most successful clubs in the world in recent times. Superb from PUMA Group, this! 😍 #sport #sports #merch #merchandise #merchandising #design #concept #AI #creator #football #soccer #kit #jersey #design #manchester #mancity #city #puma

    I want YOU to be the next Head of Design for Manchester City Football Club !    What if the kit your favorite players wear on the pitch was your design? With PUMA AI Creator, that’s not just a dream—it’s your chance to make history. This revolutionary creative platform, powered by DEEPOBJECTS, puts the AI tools in your hands. Whether it’s Marvel-like patterns, Van Gogh-like textures, or something completely unexpected, you can create the ultimate PUMA x Manchester City kit. And the best part? The winning design will become the official 2026/27 Third kit, worn by City stars on the pitch. I believe there’s nothing like self-expression through creative involvement. That’s what drives me every day in my job, and that’s what I want supporters to experience through this innovative process. Fans are not mere followers—they’re part of the culture. That’s exactly what PUMA AI Creator is about—giving everyone, no matter their experience or where they’re from, a chance to leave their mark. Now it’s your turn.
