The Story Behind Pitchside.art

Welcome to Pitchside.art – a heartfelt tribute to the golden era of football.

This project was born from a deep love for old-school football. Back when the game was raw, passionate, and gloriously imperfect. No VAR. No billionaire owners. Just muddy boots, iconic kits, and legends who played with heart. Especially the unforgettable 1990s – an era where flair, chaos, and character ruled the pitch.

At Pitchside.art, everything you see is hand-drawn in Procreate – designed with care, attention to detail, and pure nostalgia. From legendary players to classic kits and iconic stadiums, each illustration is a celebration of what made football magical before it was filtered through algorithms and analytics.

I launched this webshop because I missed that feeling. The joy of seeing Batistuta hammer in a volley. The elegance of Bergkamp turning defenders inside out. The buzz of watching a match where the drama was human, not digital. Pitchside.art isn’t just about selling merch – it’s about telling stories, keeping football history alive, and honoring the culture that made us fall in love with the game in the first place.

Whether you're a die-hard 90s fan, a collector of retro football memorabilia, or just discovering the magic of classic football culture, Pitchside.art is your home for timeless football illustrations and authentic merch rooted in the game’s greatest era.

And it gets even better:
Every time you shop at Pitchside.art, a portion of the proceeds is donated to the United For Sport organization, supporting equality, inclusion, and access to sport for all.

Thanks for being here – let’s bring the beautiful game’s best stories back to life, one design at a time.
