SPORTS CITIES SERIES
A TYPE DESIGN EXPLORATION.
Lettering, Type Design, Graphic Design, Design Research

To create an alphabet inspired by North American sports cities, I selected locations with at least one professional sports team representing each alphabet letter. The more franchises in the city, the better.
The criteria was expanded to include city boroughs and pro teams from the past. Good luck finding a North American Sports city beginning with Q or Y.
Each design matches the vibe of the town and the teams. Every color from each team is represented—even a few colorways of jerseys long gone.
Did you know Youngstown, Ohio, was home of the Patricians (the original “Pats”)—founded by an organization connected to a local church—who in 1915 became world champions of pro football? Now you can win trivia night.
