Merchandise illustration created in collaboration with Los Verdes, inspired by Austin's famous Mexican free-tailed bats and the passionate supporters of Austin FC.

CLIENT — Los VERDES

MEDIUM — APPAREL GRAPHICS & DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION

YEAR — 2026

Created in collaboration with Los Verdes, one of Austin FC's largest supporters' groups, this merchandise design celebrates the identity and passion of the Verde community.

The concept combines Austin's iconic Mexican free-tailed bats with the city's skyline to create a bold graphic centered around the phrase "Born to Bleed Verde." Designed for apparel, the illustration balances strong silhouettes, clean line work, and limited-color printing to ensure maximum impact across multiple products.

The artwork was adapted for T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and other merchandise sold through the Los Verdes online store, allowing supporters to wear a design that reflects both the city and the club's unique culture.

This project highlights the process of creating production-ready apparel graphics while maintaining a strong visual identity across multiple merchandise formats.
