'#CHAMPIONSDRAW' by BT Sport : Art and Illustration : Soccer Bible

In bringing the creative side of the game to the fore, BT Sport have assembled a blossoming group of super talents that illustrate the game at fresh heights.

The premise of '#CHAMPIONSDRAW' is a brilliantly original one; while the next round on the pitch is settled by the respective teams, off the pitch these illustrations are competing for a knock out place of their own.

Each artist was given a set fixture to draw a commemorative poster for. At each round, the one that gets the least likes on Instagram gets the boot. Ruthless especially as they are all at such a high standard, it's a smart way to blend the budding world of art seamlessly to the game.



If the designs are anything to go on there's going to be some serious cultured football on show. Those first five to be unleashed from BT Sport have been designed by Dave Will (PSG v Chelsea), Dave Flanagan (Roma v Real Madrid), Dan Leydon (Juventus v Bayern Munich), Dave Merrell (Arsenal v Barcelona) and Scott McRoy (Dynamo Kyiv v Man City). An off the pitch tournament nicely alligned with the on the pitch coverage, hats off to all involved.
