This <em>Argentine national team</em> is one of the better soccer clubs in the world.</p>
<p>This design takes the Argentinian flag and wraps it around the classic soccer ball design. It really appears to be painted on the surface of the ball. It&#8217;s available on some alternate styles at my other store <a title="Argentina Soccer" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196863432667003508">Argentina Soccer</a> section.</p>

Soccer is not at the top of all American sports, but the fans are filled with pride.</p>
<p>I took the stars and stripes of the flag and made it so that they appear to be painted onto the surface of that classic soccer ball shape that we are all used to. The usual branding is slightly visible at the bottom. Let&#8217;s see if <a title="US Soccer" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196765754878903606"><em>US Soccer</em></a> will be the last one standing once the 2010 World Cup championship has ended.</p>

There&#8217;s no doubt that everyone who has played a video game can relate to how this kid must have felt.</p>
<p>If it weren&#8217;t practically bald, then I would have pulled out my hair over more than a few games. My favorite expression of anger is punching the couch and swearing. I&#8217;m sure the kid in the painting has come close to turning his arm into a catapult for the controller. On this design my fiance did all the creative hard work and I got to do the easy job of adding it to my sites including the secondary <a title="Irate Gamer" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196994348599669490"><em>Irate Gamer</em></a> section.</p>

I literally chose <em>Virginia</em> by random to be next on the list to get the graffiti treatment.</p>
<p>It was hard to decide on the color, but I decided on the Cavaliers orange. Looking back, I might have been better off with Hokies colors. The orange lettering works for both teams I guess. It&#8217;s always a good bet to model state designs after it&#8217;s teams.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.graffititshirtsandgifts.com/shop.cgi/products.graffititshirts.7173339+virginia-graffiti.html"><strong>Virginia graffiti</strong></a> design takes on that same font style with black shadow and beveled letters. I&#8217;ve been thinking of switching up the style, but I want some consistency between the states. I wrapped it up pretty quickly and added it to both of my <a title="Virginia Graffiti" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196306273159536999">VA Graffiti</a> sections of my shops.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve noticed that a lot of stuff that I sell is a war between <em>stickers</em> and <strong>t shirts</strong>. Now I&#8217;m definitely more partial to shirt sales since they pay me better. The upside to stickers is that they are meant to stick to about anything, so that&#8217;s like advertising that someone paid me for.</p>
<p>Now on the customer side, the graphic tee shirts look good when you wear them. On the other hand, stickers are less expensive and you can put them in a lot of places. The most important thing is that people buy something.</p>
<p>Which do you think is better? </p>

I find it amusing that there are caution signs with silhouettes of illegal aliens running. No one outside of California would believe that people running across the border is such a big problem. That sign inspired me to create a parody version of my own. On a quick side note, I understand the concerns with illegals coming into the country, but I think a lot of people forget that their forefathers migrated from much farther away. INS truly strikes fear in the hearts of all immigrants who have not earned their citizenship yet.</p>
<p>I kept that classic caution sign diamond shape with the yellow background and black details. The headline was replaced with the word &#8216;immigration&#8217;. I added 2 more running families to play off the border crossing symbol. The design was quickly added to my Zazzle <a title="Caution Border Crossing" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196032287116111187">Immigration Crossing</a> wall. I followed that up by added it to my domain (follow the picture link above).</p>

Players like Ronaldinho are very popular around the world. The dominance of the Brazilian team has made it popular around the world. <strong>Brazilian soccer</strong> has been a frequent champion of the FIFA World Cup. The last time around I remember the very interesting displays of the nation&#8217;s flag on very interesting pieces of clothing.</p>
<p>Well I took that popular flag of Brazil and shaped it to the contours of the classic soccer ball and made it appear to be wrapped onto each patch of the ball. The branding took it&#8217;s usual place and blended in. I immediately added the finished product to my Zazzle store <a title="Dominate with Team Brasil" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196096005570897584"><em>Brazil Soccer</em></a> section. The Cafepress section followed.</p>

I used to play the game, so it was a little sports flashback for me. Italy was one of the first teams that I created a design for. Back then, I used the newer ball design that was the official ball of the <em>FIFA World Cup</em>.</p>
<p>I wanted to update the soccer designs in time for the next world championship. This time I wanted to use the classic ball design. Having won the whole thing last time around, Italy was the natural first choice. I also enjoyed the Jersey Shore on MTV, so the Italian flags were on my mind. The flag was simple enough to get into a ball shape, as I had done it before.</p>
<p>When it came time to prepare the ball itself, I had a hard time working around the opposing black patches. It finally came down to using an all white ball. I found a way to get the stitches implemented into the design. It wasn&#8217;t too hard to get the flag to blend in. The brand was seamlessly added towards the bottom of the ball and I almost immediately added it to my <a title="Celebrate Team Italia" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196075977524950714"><strong>Italy Soccer</strong></a> section at Zazzle. I followed it up again by adding it to my main domain store (linked to by the picture above).</p>

The color that I chose was very similar to that of the baseball team and is also a color that you would find a lot of in the Rocky mountains. I gave it the familiar style and black bordering. I finished up by integrating the brand into the bottom of the last &#8216;O&#8217;. After I added it to my main website, I also added it to my <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196533214781065709">Colorado Graffiti</a> section at the 2nd store.</p>

The <strong>Japanese baseball</strong> design did really well for me in the past and Hideki Matsui was a big part of the latest Yankees World Series win, so I thought it was time to update the Japan design.</p>
<p>I took a higher quality version of the <em>flag of Japan</em> to wrap around the gritty baseball. The land of the rising sun has a simple flag, but that red dot was tough to position correctly. The rest of the design fell into place nicely and I slapped the logo on it.</p>
<p>The design is now ready for each fan of the land of Nippon to enjoy. It&#8217;s also been added to the <a title="Celebrate Your Favorite Asian Baseball Team" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196849448758978651">Japanese Baseball</a> section of my secondary store.</p>
