Just in time for the end of the 2010 World Cup qualifying cycle, here’s the last part of the Campaign 2010<\/a> project.<\/p>\n

Fourth in the sequence, for the game vs. El Salvador in Salt Lake City, was Ricardo Clark. This one was packaged a little differently from the others, in that I just bought die-cut card blanks rather than making individual enclosures. <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRICO YES closed card<\/small><\/p>\n

This was the last of the players whose buttons<\/a> I designed at the start of the project. <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRICO YES open on one side<\/small><\/p>\n

I’ll admit it, the guy won his place in my heart, if not necessarily the starting USMNT lineup, with the Carlos Ruiz kick.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRICO YES fully open<\/small><\/p>\n

Turns out there was some serendipity in this one, too; as luck would have it, he’s the one who nailed a golazo to win an otherwise dull night out in Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n

The last one had the most elaborate packaging of all: a three page booklet, fastened with red and blue star brads, with the button tied with three ribbons on the last page.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\npage two<\/small><\/p>\n

This was the one I had held off on designing until the cycle was mostly over, sent out just prior to the closing game vs Costa Rica in DC. Turned out to be a player I wasn’t real keen on at the start of qualifying, but who won me over half with his summer’s work rate, and half with his ridiculously chatty Twitter account.<\/p>\n

I like this one almost as much as the Jozy one, for similar reasons–the slogan is just plain goofy. While I was working on it, I mentioned to someone I knew that it was so silly I was using Cooper Black as the font, and was asked if there was a specific mood I was trying to evoke with the typeface. “Cheesy 80s epigrams and old Garfield paperbacks.”<\/p>\n

I’m undecided as to whether or not I’ll re-print all of these and\/or add a sixth next year; it’ll really depend on whether or not I have the spare seed money. Everyone who got one seemed to dig ’em, regardless of personal feelings on the players involved, and I love getting that kind of reaction out of people. I never did hear back from any of the victims<\/s> candidates<\/s> players about them, though–it’s kinda tough to ask about stuff like that without seeming like a crazy person. Which, you figure by now I’d be used to, but whatever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
