Football Art: Cigarette Packets Turned Into Miniature Football Kits
By Chris Wright
This right here is the art of Leo Fitzmaurice, a chap that specialises in taking soggy tab packets and turning them into miniature football kits – and we bloody well love it…
Apparently, the idea first came to Leo (who is neither a smoker or a football fan!) when he noticed a wet cigarette packet on the ground in the shape of a football shirt during his travels, and ten years later he is still making them…
Leo has amassed a vast collection of over 800 of these hand-made shirts from around the world, always using packets he finds on the ground to work with…
If you fancy catching Leo’s ‘Post Match’ (very clever!) exhibition, it’s on display at the Cube Gallery in Manchester until Saturday 20th August, i.e, this coming Saturday…

lovely stuff
Been making these since I was about 7 years old. Kids in Indonesia have been doing this for ages. WHY DID I NOT OPEN AN “ART” SHOW? Will have to list that in my “lost profits” section.
What’s funny about one of the last pics, is that there is actually a football team named the LA Blues.
