‘More than just a club, more than just a game,’ is the slogan of Oakland Roots
Sports Club, one of 11 founding members of the USA’s newly-formed, fourth-tier
NPSL league. Oakland will soon lose basketball and American football franchises,

kit. They’ve done it: both home and away (above) tops are minimalist triumphs.

Streetwear kings Nivelcrack have hooked up with South Korean record store Sounds
Good to create Joga Bonito. The Portuguese for ‘play beautiful’, the phrase became
football folklore after Nike incorporated the saying in their iconic dressing room
advert for Brazil ahead of the 2006 World Cup. Nivelcrack’s collection celebrates
improvised samba football, plus Brazil’s recent Copa America triumph. We love it.

community by channeling
the vibrancy of the city
and its fans’, apparently.
That’s not something
wantaway Neymar has
been feeling much of
lately, the poor thing.
