These are superb.
In an era when footballers negotiate image rights as keenly as they do weekly salaries, and are increasingly seen as ‘brands’, one witty illustrator has decided to satirise the trend.
Dan Leydon from Ireland has produced a number of parody designs based on footballing superstars, using existing logos from recognised brands – and they’re brilliant.
Here are just a few of this excellent collection of mashups…
LG Electroncs/Louis van Gaal
Yorkie/Dwight Yorke
Gola/Gianfranco Zola
NASA/Paul Gascoigne
Fred Perry/John Terry
Rolo/Kolo Toure
Marmite/Rafa Benitez
Martini/Paolo Maldini
