Limited-edition hardcover (1,000 copies) paying tribute to football's banned undershirt goal celebrations. Inspired by FIFA's 2014 rule prohibiting personal messages on undergarments, it curates iconic examples from the past 30 years—featuring faith declarations (like Kaká's famous "I Belong to Jesus"), protests, humour, and activism—through striking photography and typography.
The innovative design mimics lifting a shirt: an exposed thread-sewn spine opens accordingly, and it includes a compressed t-shirt plus captain's armband. A custom font "Kaká" (based on the Brazilian star's message) runs throughout. Praised by Creative Review as "a loving homage," it captures nostalgia, cultural expression, and the shared joy of goal-scoring moments in football history.
