Street Fighter X Leeds United
A Street Fighter-inspired Leeds United cover and feature for The Square Ball, reimagining the club’s cast as a full fighting-game universe.
About the Project
Leeds United meets Street Fighter, created as a cover and feature for The Square Ball.
The project involved rebuilding the language of classic fighting-game artwork — character selects, title treatments, versus screens, iconography, and all the rest — in a Leeds United mould without losing the feel of the original source material.
It was later featured in both Forbes and The Athletic, which suggests other people were willing to indulge the idea too.
Mug and box design by Eamonn.
A curated image run built to let the print object, surface, and detail breathe on the page.
Open any figure to inspect surface, print detail, and framing more closely without losing the overall sequence.
Sequence note
The closing plates are intended to read like a print-room pass: object, surface, and image held in sequence rather than treated as isolated uploads.
Deep zoom appendix
Print-resolution studies
These appendix plates are wired for the Deep Zoom lightbox flow described in the implementation spec: inspection JPEG first, then tiled print-resolution detail once the viewer is ready.
