In collaboration with Earl Edwards, Jr. and Black Players for change, we created a tifo display for the Revs’ game on Juneteenth. With the new President of BPCMLS here in New England, we had a pair of meetings with Earl and BPCMLS to see if we could carry out Earl’s vision of what a tifo could like on this holiday.
In addition to taking our creative direction from Earl, we purchased our font from black typographer Tré Seals. The font is called Du Bois, based on the infographic posters by civil rights icon and Great Barrington, MA native W.E.B. Du Bois. The pattern is from the Adinkra Pro family of symbols and patterns by Ghanaian-American designer Kwesi Amuti.
