“Fourteen Facts to Get You NFL Ready This Season”.
AD: Hattie Gable
I’ve never followed football, but I came to really like the uniforms while working on these. Great bold, graphic colours and designs.

(With deepest apologies to Lin Manuel Miranda)
You say The price of my love’s not a price that you’re willing to pay
You cry As you kneel for the flag ‘cause the cops won’t stop shooting you guys
Why so sad Remember we made an arrangement when you came as slaves
Now you’re making me mad Remember despite our estrangement I’m The Man
You’ll stand up, soon you’ll see
You’ll remember you truly owe me
You’ll stand up, time will tell
You’ll remember we gave you jobs as well
Oceans rise
Empire’s Fall
We’ve abused your people through it all
And when push comes to shove
We will kill your friends and family
To remind you to show your love
Black folks are wrong if we sit down during the national anthem or riot. The only thing that’s accepted is complacency. Colin Kaepernick is well within his right to opt out of the national anthem. Isn’t that what freedom is all about?
Americans don’t like the NFL protests, but they really don’t like Trump’s response http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/americans-dont-like-the-nfl-protests-but-they-really-dont-like-trumps-response_us_59cbe8dfe4b05063fe0e933f

Blackout for Human Rights is taking part in a new initiative called #BlackoutNFL in support of Colin Kaepernick and his protest of police violence and racism in America. We proudly stand with Kaepernick. We’re inspired by his courage, resilience and determination throughout his fight for justice and equality for ALL Americans. We must stand united against hate and white supremacy. The #BlackoutNFL campaign will tie into Blackout’s larger #BlackoutBlackFriday campaign later this year.
In addition to Kaepernick, the #BlackoutNFL campaign supports all athletes who take part in Kaepernick’s protest like Michael Bennett and all public figures of color who speak out on injustice and white supremacy in America like Jemele Hill. We deeply admire and salute true patriots like Colin Kaepernick, Jemele Hill, Michael Bennett and others who are trying to make America a great country for EVERYONE.
Instead of watching the NFL, we encourage people to give back to the community and support the arts. This is an opportunity for all of us to support our communities rather than a corporate entity that ignores the most important social issues of our time.

Blackout for Human Rights is a collective of artists, activists, filmmakers, celebrities, religious leaders and concerned citizens who commit their energy and resources to immediately address the staggering level of human rights violations and injustices against our fellow brothers and sisters throughout the United States. Blackout is comprised of both high visibility and everyday citizens.
- Members include Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay, Michael B. Jordan, Charles King, Donald “Childish Gambino” Glover, Jesse Williams, John Burris, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rosa Clemente, Michael McBride, Scott Budnick, David Oyelowo, Pastor Michael McBride, Will Packer, Marlon Wayans and more.
- We believe that in order to heal as a country, we must have an honest confrontation with our nation’s past and present. We stand against the demonization of dissent, the criminalization of poor people, the dehumanization of people of color, state-sanctioned violence, and all forms of discrimination. We believe in an inclusive and intersectional movement that fights for all of our brothers and sisters, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, religion, nationality or gender.
