<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCollaboration process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We started the project idea at the beginning of the year. FIFAA took on the entire project management \u2013 from concept development to production and marketing. Karel Loide (FIFAA CEO) led the strategic side of the project, in collaboration with designer Karmo Ruusmaa, who was responsible for creating the visual language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concept<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The central inspiration came from from the song festival<\/strong>. \u201cThe Song Festival and the basketball team games unite Estonia in a unique way. Both bring tens of thousands of people together,\u201d explained Karel Loide. The idea crystallized in the mind \u201cIN ONE RHYTHM\u201d<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 a visual and emotional bridge between song festival and sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The design includes sound waves<\/strong> (heartbeat metaphor), hidden song card<\/strong> basketball design and elegant tricolor<\/strong> integration that creates a timeless and dignified national identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the kits were made using FIFAA's sublimation technique, which ensures color fastness and brightness, as well as maximum comfort. The collection also included fashion items: oversized shirts and a flannel shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The press conference at \u00dclemiste Sportland was attended by well-known cultural and media figures such as Genka, Metsakutsu and Robert Rool. \u201cOur goal was not just a beautiful form, but a story,\u201d said Gerd Kiili, Secretary General of the Estonian Basketball Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor the first time, I feel like a basketball uniform really speaks to me as an Estonian. These are not just clothes, but clothes that scream Estonian culture.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 M\u00e4rt, basketball fan<\/p>\n\n\n\n The collection is a connection between Estonian nationalism and passion for sports \u2013 a tribute to culture and how people sing in the arena and under the singing arch in one breath. FIFAA carried out the design, marketing, wholesale of the products and the collection to both EKL partners and dealers and sold the products to fans both at the pre-tournament test matches and in a specially created fan shop on site in Riga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The collection is a connection between Estonian nationalism and passion for sports \u2013 a tribute to culture and shared identity. Sustainability \u2013 We used sustainably sourced products on several products. We also enriched the products with printing only if there was demand for the product. This avoided excess inventory and leftovers at the end of the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have an idea that needs to be implemented?<\/strong> Start your journey<\/a> and see the new collection \u201cIn One Rhythm\u201d<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":45778,"template":"","tags":[267,270,252,13],"class_list":["post-45773","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-custom-made","tag-korvpall","tag-spordi-esindusriided","tag-sublimatsioon"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fifaa.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/45773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fifaa.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fifaa.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fifaa.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fifaa.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fifaa.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An estimated 15,000 basketball fans visited Riga during the European Championship, the lion's share of whom also found their way to the \u00dches R\u00fctmis collection. In terms of numbers, it was the best-selling fan product of the European Championship in terms of countries. FIFAA produced over 12,000 different fan products and clothing for the event, which is the largest fan collection in Estonian sports ever, both in terms of volume and product range.
We set up a 100m2 fan shop, the Estonian 6th Man Fan Tent, in the center of Riga. We made over 1,000 prints on site in the fan tent (names, numbers, and additional products in the regular collection will be added to the fan products). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From concept to finished product \u2013 FIFAA makes your vision a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
