NIKE NFL 2022 CAMPAIGN
Concept

To create Nike’s US Football 365 NFL Campaign Language, we col­lab­o­rat­ed with Nike NA to push further into the ​“Never Done” language, high­light­ing the spirit and celebrating the journey of progress. By pairing elevated typographic lock-ups with expressive hero shots and immersive action photography, we developed a versatile language that can be expressed by each of the 32 teams.

We expanded the global DNA.WIP toolkit to include more visual man­i­fes­ta­tions of progress: hole punches, painted illus­tra­tions made and a bespoke, handwritten typeface, appro­pri­ate­ly named ​‘Playbook.’

All Nike NFL campaign illustrations with ILOVEDUST

In the language of Nike’s existing paint marks for DNA.WIP, UK-based ILOVEDUST hand-painted a series of iconic illus­tra­tions that embodied the irreverent, expressive emotion we sought to create for the 2022 season. Each illus­tra­tion feels intentional, youthful and serves to push forward the concept of ​“Never Done.”

Playbook Typeface

As a tertiary typeface to the Palatino and Prototype, we hand drew Playbook: a light­heart­ed element used in small doses to tie the identity together.
