Stop it, is my favorite, looks like those older "Where's Wally" games on magazines in the 90s. Plus, so many details, look hand drawn, has a detailed border, I can tell the person put a lot of effort and time in this and it feels like a classic already, I could frame it and hang on my study wall, it would look amazing.

Kansas City one looks like something out of Microsoft Teams

11

u/Maleficent_Resolve44 12h ago

Can't exactly blame them. It'd be like hosting a world cup match in Bolton. It just doesn't make sense and there's nothing interesting there.

u/rocket__man_ 1d ago

New York/New Jersey should be so much better. Same for San Francisco. Cities with so much character, yet very stereotypical poster designs

14

u/PixelatedSuit 1d ago

Definitely agree, especially for the final's location

30

u/SwindlingAccountant 1d ago

Philly's one is also really plain.

u/bippinndippin 4h ago

Well to be fair, the games won't take place in New York or San Francisco, so maybe they are trying to lower the expectations for the fans who haven't been to New Jersey or Santa Clara before...

Wow, they are all so cool! But then you get to Kansas City......

u/arr0wengineer 1d ago

Yeah the poor designers had to try to think of something interesting about KC to make into a graphic. Deck was always stacked against them

u/sirachasamurai 1d ago

I think the Vancouver one is worse

62

u/Huggly001 23h ago

The Vancouver one is First Nations themed (Squamish I believe) so I appreciate the effort. The problem is it’ll be compared to Seattle for which the artist absolutely knocked it out of the park.

u/Mediocre-Database332 21h ago

Vancouver whale looks a bit tired

u/PP_Bulla 1d ago

Kansas City is okay what the heck is Vancouver. Minimalist shit.

That Seattle one is perfect

u/sukkulenten 1d ago

I like the idea for Los Angeles, but the execution looks off. Could be a GTA poster.

100

u/R_Schuhart 1d ago

I like the vibe, especially since it is quite unique compared to some of the others, but it does look a bit like a generic background where they pasted a football figure on. Same goes with the Dallas one.

16

u/jzanville 1d ago

Swear that’s the title screen for Rematch.

I find it calming, like those images from videos with "relaxing soundtrack, calm your mind, focus vibrations" theme

This World Cup does not deserve these incredible posters lol I want to frame them all

u/Qwert23456 1d ago

u/R_Schuhart 1d ago

Yeah these are fantastic, I only really dislike the Malaga one. That Valladolid poster is quite nostalgic, my uncle had that in his home. Took me so long to see what it was supposed to be.

16

u/gotiobg 1d ago

It was like treasure trove when I was a kid, You would buy a football magazine with the stars at the time and you could find these kind of posters to hang up in your bedroom

u/shoecat 23h ago

have to agree, these are great

u/bostero2 12h ago

I had the France ‘98 one framed and it’s still there in my old bedroom at my parent’s house. This one: https://pin.it/3S4XZKTs4

u/firuz0 23h ago

This will sound weird, but what was the search query for the page? I'm trying to find Italia 90 to no avail.

u/Qwert23456 23h ago

I typed "spain world cup 1982 posters" and found this link via google images.

https://printedoriginals.com/products/1982-world-cup-spain-complete-set-of-15

That website sells original prints it looks so it probably doesn't have a Italia 90 full set

The Mexico ones are underwhelming

u/Murricles92 1d ago

Seattle, Toronto, and Guadalajara are my favorite

u/RepulsiveWish1834 1d ago edited 1d ago

Toronto looks fantastic

Boston, Dallas and the Mexican cities all quite nice

But Miami and Houston... not a fan

164

u/raobuntu 1d ago

Making each Mexican city have the same format was a let down for me. Mexican culture is a monolith to a lot of people outside of Mexico, it was a missed opportunity to showcase regional culture.

23

u/slivemor 1d ago

Each has a ton of distinct regional stuff, I did not absolutely love the overall design of either of the three of them but at lease they have a lot of signs, simbols, architectural and greographical landmarks, food, etc from each region.

21

u/powergs 23h ago

From outside perspective all three looks very similar. I dont think its bad but i agree with other user. Toronto and Dallas best looking ones imo

2

u/zashsash 22h ago

If just one of the mexico designs used this symmerical while asymmetrical design, it would be the winner for me ...

10

u/Kilen13 1d ago

Miami and Atlanta are the two biggest letdowns for me. Atlanta went way overboard on peaches and Miami's is generic as fuck

28

u/mynameismulan 1d ago

Miami's is giving straight AI

19

u/theotheramerican 1d ago

Maybe because Im from Houston but the Houston one was fire wym????

12

u/gmoss101 1d ago

Houstonian, yeah it's definitely not great.

How can you not include the iconic BE SOMEONE graffiti or even the bayou?

u/AmericanJazz 20h ago

kinda wish it was hardcore oil & gas themed. I get that it's not green coded but cmon thats the place!

u/I_LIKE_SEALS 21h ago

Seattle is nice as well

22

u/SW1 1d ago

they included the Bay Bridge with the Golden Gate Bridge!

12

u/Screye 20h ago

Oakland probably has more fans than SF. The bay Bridge has earned it

3

u/nikhil48 14h ago

Fuckin yes. Bay Bridge has always been so underrated

28

u/iguessidkanything 1d ago

I like Boston and Seattle. Vancouver and Kansas City look kinda boring.

27

u/KiwiSnugfoot 1d ago

Seattle one is cool. Love the mountains interspersed with the waves in the Sound. Definitely encapsulates the whole Cascadia vibe of large green swaths with scattered mountain ranges.

Disappointed by the Vancouver one but the Seattle one kind of covers 75% of the nearly identical setting so I guess they had to highlight different elements.

10

u/moldyolive 1d ago

I like the idea of going with salish art for vancouver but it just looks so phoned in

15

u/GillyBilmour 1d ago

Vancouver one looks like straight up clip art. Like the guy put in charge of finding artists forgot about it, then saw the final submission was due the next day in his outlook calendar, and he panicked and pulled something together in MS Word and to this day hopes no one asks him to see the other submissions that didn't make the cut if this one was the winner

2

u/CometChip 1d ago

i can’t be too harsh on vancouver because it looks like they took slight inspo from PNW native art in the orca and surroundings, which i absolutely love, they really should have leaned into it more

immediately thought of tribes such as haida and this image

I love the diva flamingo in cleats

u/HuanFranThe1st 1d ago

Honestly pretty solid.

Boston, Seattle, Houston and Dallas are my personal favorites.

The mexican cities are also pretty damn good.

But Toronto is a masterpiece. Absolute 10/10 poster, I’d genuinely have that framed and hang it in my room.

26

u/NotASalamanderBoi 1d ago

Toronto has such a retro vibe to it that I absolutely love.

10

u/HuanFranThe1st 1d ago

It’s also done really well - the colour scheme, the composition; everything’s just good to look at lol.

2

u/NotASalamanderBoi 1d ago

And it’s being sold as well. Tempted to buy it lol.

21

u/fareklol 1d ago

Guess Route 1 in Foxborough just isn’t as sexy for a poster

3

u/TigTigman 13h ago

I found out the hard way how far that stadium is out of Boston. Thought I could transit there. Took 2 hours there, couldn’t get back without an Uber to whip me to a train station just in time for the last train back to Boston. My bad. Thanks again crazy Uber dude for speeding well beyond the speed limit to make it just on time. For those going to Boston for it, rent a car.

2

u/Maleficent_Resolve44 12h ago

Truly embarrassing for a world cup to be held at stadiums with nonexistent public transport. They've had 8 years to build some rail links, why haven't they? This is the nice thing about world cups in smaller nations, they take it very seriously.

u/f4r1s2 1d ago

Atlanta Boston and Seattle look great

u/crestdiving 1d ago

The Dallas one is screaming 'open wide for some soccer!'

u/Short_Detective9554 1d ago

Some of these are terrible. Like Microsoft Word clip art

u/KembaWakaFlocka 1d ago

Would love a framed print of the Atlanta one.

u/uSpeziscunt 1d ago

Same. And Toronto.

u/voidofconfidence 22h ago

I picked up the Atl one to hang, but it’s so massive I haven’t framed it yet.

Moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches.

The LA one has just the right look and feel.

u/SharingFootballClub 22h ago

The LA one is well thought out 👏 They all very nice except Kansas - lacks creativity it seems

15

u/StupidMastiff 1d ago

New York/Jersey, Toronto, and Houston are my favourites, shame they used the same template for the Mexican cities.

u/AmericanJazz 20h ago

Lot of good ones, a few bad ones. As a New Yorker, I think LA is the best (hard to say) and Houston/SF tied for the worst.

Edit: Toronto is also a classic.

u/gotiobg 1d ago

This stuff is so underrated maybe it’s just my nostalgia talking.

One of my earliest clear memories is the 1998 World Cup in France. Back then, you could get these stickers of players drawn as caricatures, and I was obsessed with collecting them.

There were also all kinds of posters like these that came with magazines, and 8 year old me couldn’t get enough. For a football mad kid, those little bits of paper were everything such a simple but amazing part of growing up.

these are way more polished then those i remember from my childhood though.

Kansas city, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Vancouver ones definitely lacking character.
