For the 2025 U.S. Open Cup Final, I had the opportunity to design the official supporters' tifo that was unveiled before kickoff at Q2 Stadium. Organized by Colect Tifo in collaboration with Los Verdes, Pollo FC, La Murga de Austin, and numerous volunteers, the project celebrated the passion and creativity of Austin FC's supporter culture.
The illustration features a skeletal supporter wearing Austin FC-inspired gear beneath a full moon, accompanied by the phrase "¡Verde! ¡Listos! ¡A Ganar!" The design combines bold shapes, high-contrast colors, and strong readability to ensure the artwork remained impactful when reproduced at stadium scale.
After completing the design, hundreds of volunteers came together to paint, assemble, and prepare the enormous tifo by hand before it was unveiled in front of thousands of fans during the championship match. Seeing the finished piece displayed across the supporters' section was an unforgettable experience and a reminder of what can be achieved through collaboration and community.
