AS Roma has partnered with Fancy and LA-based artist Jarrett Ellis from Hoop Dream Studio to create a custom (1 of 1) basketball hoop inspired by Roma's iconic 2019/20 third kit, and now the club are offering the chance to win it.
Seriously though, is there anything that a football shirt can’t be? Following on from Paris-based designer Franck Joubert creating some seriously premium handmade bags from football shirts, we now have the news that LA-based artist Jarrett Ellis from Hoop Dream Studio has hooked up with AS Roma for an unbelievably unique creation that’s got us wanting to take up basketball, if only to have an excuse to have this in our office.
Hoop Dream Studios was founded in 2017 by Los Angeles based artist Jarrett Ellis, and operating through fancy.com, he produces creations that elevate sport to fresh levels of design. Operating predominantly with contemporary takes on basketball hoops, he’s now blended that with the world of football, producing a one-of-a-kind basketball hoop using the stunning Roma 2019/20 third shirt.
It’s no secret that we’re big fans of this season’s Roma third shirt – we recently ranked it amongst the top five shirts of the decade – and to see it transformed into what is sure to be the centrepiece of any room within which it graces its presence just has us clambering for a bit of this action. So it is with a hint of remorse that we tell you that, following on from their Air Jordan 1 Mid giveaway, AS Roma are giving you the chance to win this “Roma Hoop”. Dn’t feel like you have to enter though. Just saying…
If you really want to enter the competition, then you can do so here. But we're not wishing you luck this time. Nope, we need all that we can get...
