Peter Saville designs new England shirt
England’s footballers will be wearing a new home shirt for their match against Bulgaria on September 3, with graphics designed by the legendary Peter Saville.
Given the team’s pathetic performance over the summer it’s perhaps not the best time to be asking long-suffering fans to shell out £49.99 for yet another new kit. In the accompanying press blurb, manufacturers Umbro say that the design “takes its inspiration from the more formal classic shirts of England’s footballing past. Umbro has developed a new longer, more open neckline for the shirt, building on the square neckline that was designed for the away shirt but allowing additional movement across the chest, keeping its shape especially when a player is running.”
Saville’s contribution is somewhat minimalist. A graphic of multicoloured crosses sits on the shoulders which is, apparently, “evocative of the basting stitches synonymous with bespoke tailoring”. They are also meant to represent the diverse nature of modern English society.

Kognito
Im ill so this is quite a lazy post. Found this image within a Berlin magazine produced by Kognito, thought it was pretty interesting to look at for a bit, I’ve been playing with scan lines and other effects to fuck with your eyes recently and this does it nicely.

Radiohead “Karma Police”
Going back to my somewhat forgotten favourite videos on a Tuesday idea heres an old favourite in Radiohead’s “Karma Police” great song with a great video directed by Jonathan Glazer, previously responsible for Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” clip. The video premiered in August 1997 and featured Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke as well as Hungarian actor Lajos Kovács. Glazer won MTV’s Director of the Year award in 1997 for his work on this, as well as Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity”. Glazer however revealed in an interview that he considers this video to be a failed attempt. According to MTV.com, Glazer had pitched the concept of the “Karma Police” video months earlier to Marilyn Manson, who disliked it.

Anatomy of a Holding Page Posters
Build are offering a number of these beautiful posters from 2004. They were originally designed and printed for now-defunct Australian magazine Refill, and were folded up neatly to fit inside; the ones on offer are as pristinely flat and as fluro-bright as the day they were born. There is limited stock so if you are interested click here. I had not seen these before but are very reminiscent of The Designers Republic 3D>2D which is proudly sat in my cupboard at home as one of the first design pieces I ever bought.
Holiday!
As of tomorrow I will be smashing myself in Ibiza for a week so expect no posts and then expect some very depressed ones, more than likely looking a bit like the above, with a tan ideally.
