Everyone loves a well-designed football kit. That\u2019s one of the driving factors behind the plethora of concept shirt designs and even apps on the web. The Concept Club<\/a><\/strong> is a collective of soccer lovers from London, Amsterdam, Paris, New York, LA, Tokyo and Singapore who have made their designs into real world products that are available for sale (with global shipping) online.<\/p>\n

The Concept Club\u2019s designs include soccer jerseys inspired by everything from Americana to Kanye West to iconic sports logos such as Nike\u2019s Swoosh and adidas\u2019 three stripes. Here is a world exclusive, in-person look at their NASA Deep Space and Swoosh Kanji shirts.<\/p>\n

NASA Deep Space Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Available in black, dark blue and white, the Concept Club NASA Deep Space jersey is a brilliant interpretation of what a NASA-sponsored kit would look like. The Concept Club team uses the minimalistic but omnipresent Nike Park VI as its canvas. Their famous logo is screen printed in white on the shirt\u2019s chest in white.<\/p>\n

Their equally well-known logo is embroidered on the left breast. An embroidered American flag similar to those on Astronaut suits (and also player issue versions of some Major League Soccer jerseys) appears on the right sleeve.<\/p>\n

The result of all of this is a clever kit that exudes class while unofficially representing NASA, the USA, astronomy buffs and even science fiction fans. It\u2019s a great conversation piece with strangers asking questions such as \u201cDo you work for NASA?\u201d and \u201cDoes NASA sponsor a soccer team?\u201d We use of a black base for the shirt we tried out worked well to support the NASA concept since (as far as we know) outer space is black.<\/p>\n
