AuthorJeffEyesRimmer Basically the whole world is excited for the new season of Game of Thrones and I count myself among that number. So it was with great joy I came across Nerea Palacios designs this past week. Palacios is a sports and apparel designer and has combined Game of Thrones with Football to create some brilliant designs for concept Nike football kits for the various Houses from the fantasy series (like the one above). I was quite excited by these and couldn’t believe I hadn’t come across them before so I thought I would share the amazing designs with you all. House Targaryen I am starting this list with my favourite design. Black and red based around the dragon Drogon is just lovely. Honestly, this should be a design for a real life club and I would buy it. Actually, I will go further; make this the new Welsh kit please! House Baratheon Probably my second favourite kit, the antlers around the neckline just looks really good. Although House Baratheon is really no more maybe Gendry coming back would be like a former great player returning to his boyhood club to help them break the top four – Gendry = Rooney?! House Stark As the Starks could basically field a mixed 6-a-side team anyway this works really well. I could see Ned as a tough tackling defender, Arya the plucky, nip at your heels midfielder, Sansa the creative force and the Jon Snow up front to put the goals away, got to love fantasy. Night’s Watch Speaking of Jon Snow, the night watch would look badass in this kit. Sam the rock in defence? Only wish they had put this on a lighter background. House Bolton I hate Bolton like the rest of humanity but this is a pink kit done well. One the biggest bastards in all of Westeros in pink seems quite apt. House Greyjoy An iron colour scheme for the rulers of the Iron Islands, lovely, the kraken on the front is also pretty awesome. House Lannister The title picture and the one I first found that led me to create this list. It almost looks like the Russian or Serbian kits. Cersei would be obviously the captain and the tactician of the team. Based on Tyrion’s prowess with the ladies I would have to say he would be the fox in the box. Jamie wouldn't make a good goal keeper though. House Martell Very pretty kit with the flames all over the shirt, I could easily see the Sand Snakes in this. The Sand Snakes makes a great nickname for a team as well. Match's quite nicely with their ally Targaryens kit too. House Tyrell Green for wildfire burns? Too soon? In all honesty this could be Norwich's new kit and I quite like the two tone split. House Tully I like the river idea behind this a lot, the waves are a lovely feature and again this could easily be an international kit. White Walkers Lets end with the major threat in the Westeros world - the White Walkers! 100% would be title contenders. You have to feel like they would be very cool under pressure and never panic. I think they would be the epitome of using 'Fergie Time' as well.
These concepts are just amazing, I would love to see a Dothraki kit or maybe a kit for one of the seven gods? Which one is your favourite? Can we also petition EA to have these included in the FIFA games please?! Please go check out Palacios page on www.behance.net/nereapalacios.com for other designs and concepts. |
