RISE FLAG FOOTBALL

A project through The Team, Canada.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR:

BRAND STRATEGY:

RISE is a youth flag football league with outposts across North America, recruiting athletes ages 5–18.

The rebrand had to do three things at once: feel fun enough to speak to young athletes, refined enough to earn parents' trust, and inspiring enough to attract top coaches.

The result is bold, gritty, and playful — a system built on the intensity of the game, the pull of community, and the energy of youth sports. A custom mark abstracts and simplifies the football, rendered in high-vis green against black for maximum presence on game day signage, flags, and pop-up tents. Campaign and social creative carry the same energy through a distressed, color-blocked treatment.
