Cool Hunting

Umbro by Kim Jones by SummerSeventySix

Kimjones-Umbro-Hoodie

Umbro's known for making England's official football kit, but it's the brand's off-the-field designs by Kim Jones that have caught the eye. Drawing on terrace culture, Jones has created a capsule collection especially for the World Cup. Sticking largely to patriotic red, white and blue, the range liberally uses the red English rose motif, like in the hoodie above and the football below. Elsewhere, on t-shirts and sweats, Jones uses a diamond pattern to good effect, referencing Umbro's traditional logo.

I'm not big on overtly football-inspired clothing, and other designers have already gone overboard to disastrous effect. This collection is just subtle enough to look good on both fans of the game, and those who aren't. 

Certain pieces can be bought online at Microzine, or you could try to win the hoodie pictured above in our competition running on Cool Hunting today.

Shari Sakahara is an LA based graphic designer who won one of our Camonanos last month. As a thank you she sent us one of the hoodies that she makes and sells. How we missed this before, I don't know, but I'm glad to see it now. Why advertise your alma matter or home town on your hoodie when you can hype your favorite...
Classic Kicks Hoodies
Hoodies are like the t-shirts of Winter. These in particular will bring a splash of warm color to an otherwise drab season. Designed by the owners of one of our favorite NYC sneaker shops, Classic Kicks, these heavyweight french terrycloth hoodies just went on sale. The pattern is pretty intricate and trippy so be sure to click on the photos above for a closer...
Aiko
Niko Stumpo is half Norwegian and half Italian. He's worked as an art director for Wieden+Kennedy in Amsterdam. After having worked mostly in digital media, he wanted to take a more hands on approach and express himself with things people could touch. Aiko, which means "to bring love," is the by-product of his new found ways. He paints, prints table cloths, t-shirts, and hoodies....
