SUPPORTERS CLUB
The expressive layer, built the way the late-80s and 90s adidas kits built theirs: structured geometry, not scatter. Three graphics cut on our diamond grid and the mark's 30° shear: an interlocking-diamond cascade, a tessellated facet field, and a hard-edged diagonal ripple band. Each descends straight from the archive and locks to the mark.
8. THE THREE GRAPHICS
after Germany / Spain 1994
Interlocking rhombuses in three colours, dissolving into the base. The same diamond as our kit weave, scaled up as a graphic.
after West Germany 1990 / 1994
A tessellated field of hard-edged triangles on the grid angles. Structured and dense, the print off the shoulder.
after the West Germany 1990 sash
Offset diagonal slabs, varied widths, one bold band. A flag broken into hard angular bars, our three colours plus ink.
9. IT FLEXES — TONAL, ON DARK, ANY CLUB
The graphics are colour-agnostic. Run them in the three brand colours, tonal in one, reversed on ink, or in a club's two colours so every destination wears its own, exactly like the kit-weave system.
10. IN USE
A cascade or ripple band anchored to one edge of the hero. Bold, structured, never busy.
A facet field behind the header, the club's colours, the figure sitting clean on top.
The mark on a diamond field. Motion optional: the field resolves into the mark, then settles.
11. LINEAGE
Three devices, one family, all from the same adidas era. The oversized slanted bars (Equipment: Marseille, Bayern, Liverpool ’91–93) are our mark. The interlocking-diamond cascade (Germany, Spain, Argentina 1994) is our kit weave. The facet field and ripple sash (West Germany 1990 & 1994, with the tonal fields of Netherlands and USSR 1988) are these graphics. Grounded in the archive, made ours by the shear, the grid and the three colours.
