Founder & CEO Kyle Sheldon spent nearly two years supporting the development of the Sounders new visual identity - working alongside the club, and agencies Column, Athletics, and DNA. The project included deep fan engagement (surveys, focus groups, interviews), apparel design and development, launch strategy, and content development. For launch, Name & Number was tasked with producing a dynamic, brand-forward video for each of the new marks included in the final visual identity.
