The J-League, which had been suspended due to the new Corona virus, resumed its J2 and J3 seasons on June 27, and the J1 season will finally begin on July 4 (Saturday). Although there will be no spectators for the time being, soccer fans must be eagerly awaiting the start of the J-League.
Iniesta's brilliant passing, Teruto Nakagawa's dribbling, and Tomoaki Makino's fighting defense, the king of duels, are all on display on TV. Also, King Kazu has returned to J1!
The "J-League" is attracting increasing attention, and here are some of the highlights.Vegalta SendaiI would like to introduce a new initiative of the .
First up is a promotional movie for this season's uniforms. It is a documentary-style depiction of young people heading to YUASTA (YouTek Stadium Sendai), directed by Christopher Ranson, who has produced videos for Beckham and "Manchester United," and supervised by the soccer lifestyle magazine "Mundial Japan," and is 1 min. . 20 seconds of gorgeous work. The story, which seems to be a cross between a fast-paced and emotional atmosphere, will boost morale for the resumption of J1.
Once you get into the mood with this video, you may want to get yourself some official merchandise as well. This T-shirt was created by Letter Boy, a calligraphy and lettering artist. The slogan for this year's team is drawn on the back of the T-shirt, and it is hard to believe that it is an official T-shirt.

Looking back, "Vegalta Sendai" has planned various collaborations in recent years. . We have been able to produce items with unexpected and surprising approaches, such as bunker rings and key chains created by "KIKKOUCHAN," who is also well known in HOUYHNHNM's, apparel products with "Journal Standard," and T-shirts with graphics created by the creative team "CITY BOYS FC.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, when the "J-League" resumes, matches will be played without spectators for a while. However, as a supporter, I still want to cheer at the stadium. In light of these voices, a new cheering style will begin at home matches on July 18 (Sat.). The name of it is "Let's send cheers from the seats with cheering T-shirts! The name is "Cheering T-shirts from the audience!
The idea is to release a T-shirt with a different design for each game, which supporters can purchase and put on their seats at the stadium to send a cheer to the players. Moreover, a different artist will be in charge of the design each time. For the "Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo" game on August 18, the T-shirt will be designed by painter Yu Suda, the "Kawasaki Frontale" game on Wednesday, August 22, by graphic designer Keisuke Yamada, and the "Yokohama F-Marinos" game on Saturday, August 1, by Kazuhi Yoshikawa, the main designer of "Mundial Japan," which was introduced earlier. Yoshikawa, the main designer of "Mundial Japan," was selected for the match against "Yokohama F. Marinos" on Saturday, August 1. What will happen to the T-shirts after the game? But rest assured, the T-shirts will be delivered to the supporters who purchased them.

Recently, European clubs have been fusing fashion and soccer, and creative work involving the younger generation has been gaining attention. The J-League's Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, with Yosuke Aizawa, designer of White Mountaineering, as its creative director, has become a hot topic. In addition to paying attention to the players, it would be a different way to enjoy soccer if you also pay attention to the branding of the team you are rooting for. Nowadays, we cannot take our eyes off the efforts of "Vegalta Sendai".
