00:00Our earliest work in the exhibition is a Russian constructivist called Barbara Stepanovna,
00:29who designed these amazing gender-neutral football kits, and these amazing geometric
00:37wonders.
00:38And so we realized there's an entire century of artists using football kits, either making
00:44football kits or using football kits as a canvas, or taking football kits and re-adapting
00:48them in some way.
00:49So that was interesting.
00:50And then we also realized that there are tons of professional football teams who've been
00:54influenced in their kit design by art history.
