LOTTO - Legendary Moments

Challenge

For the 2026 World Cup, Lotto set out to celebrate the moments that live beyond the final whistle—the plays, personalities and controversies that became part of football history.

The challenge was to reinterpret these iconic moments as original works of art: capturing the emotion and memory of each event without simply recreating it. Each artwork would become a collectible expression of a moment in time and the foundation for a larger apparel story representing its country.

Approach

I approached each moment as its own visual story, pulling from the event itself, the era surrounding it and the identity of the country it represented.

From Argentina’s Hand of God and France’s infamous Headbutt, to Brazil and Ronaldo’s redemption, Spain and the Netherlands’ defining clash, Ghana’s breakthrough and the USA’s moment of glory—each story was reconstructed through illustration, typography, national iconography and archival-inspired details.

Rather than creating one graphic system and applying it across every country, each moment was given its own character while remaining part of one larger collection.

Work

The original artworks became the foundation of Lotto’s Legendary Moments collection, spanning seven countries: Argentina, Brazil, France, Ghana, Holland, Spain and the USA.

The visual language expanded from the hero artworks into complete country toolkits and ultimately across Moment Jerseys, Legacy Tees, Goal Tees, Last Line Rugbys and additional apparel.

The result is a collection that turns football history into something wearable and collectible—bringing legendary moments from the game into a new generation of football culture.
