Every year NFL vendors put out their helmet shirt. At Nutmeg, this was a big deal. It was always a challenge to keep it fresh and get it to print the best it could. We put ours up to New Buffalo Shirt Factory and Gardner Graphics for quality because they always did such a great job. When I left Nutmeg, I went to Gardner's but as I said before, I was mostly designer so I didn't paint any like I did at Nutmeg.
This leads up to this Packers helmet. To me, the helmet shirt was huge. It was a test of quality and I really admired the way some people pulled it off. I did this one primarily in Illustrator with some shading in Photoshop for Reebok around 2002. The story on it is way, way longer but to keep it short, the shirt came out right on. It printed just like you see it. I did the separations myself for 12 colors. It hangs in my studio, framed with the seps on the side along with it.
