Brands like Nike and Adidas have created clothing lines that feature football-inspired designs, such as jerseys, tracksuits, and sneakers. These designs often incorporate football team logos and colors, as well as graphics inspired by football culture. Digital art: With the rise of digital technology, football has become a subject of interest for digital artists. They use digital tools to create artworks that explore the intersection of football and technology. These artworks may take the form of interactive installations, video installations, or digital paintings.

It was an honor to create a new Calavera symbol for this Club, and to honor loved ones who have passed.” -Ernesto Yerena Montejano Amid the bustling streets of Boyle Heights, a distinctive artwork captures the very essence of Los Angeles' vibrant soccer culture. The LAFC Calavera, created by renowned Latino artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano, exemplifies the fervent intersection of sports and art. Hand-pulled in the meticulous process of silkscreen printing on fine art paper, this piece is not just any artwork. It is an Artist Proof (AP) from 2021, indicating that it's among the first impressions made from the stencil, meticulously examined for quality and consistency before the final run. Ernesto Yerena Montejano, known for his commitment to producing resonating art under his brand "Hecho Con Ganas," has intricately designed this masterpiece. His depiction of the Calavera, a symbol commonly associated with the Day of the Dead, integrates seamlessly with the ethos of the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC). As Montejano himself puts it, "LAFC is LA culture." The artwork is not just an emblem of a soccer club; it is a tribute to the departed, a nod to the cultural significance of remembering loved ones. Artworks such as the LAFC Calavera draw their lineage from the vibrant traditions of pop art, street art, and graffiti. These genres challenge convention, often merging disparate symbols and contexts to create meaning. Montejano's Calavera stands as a testament to the power of such fusion, intertwining the energy of LA's soccer scene with profound cultural symbols. The 18x24 signed and marked limited edition piece is more than just a visual treat; it's a narrative of identity, passion, and remembrance, immortalized in ink and paper.
