SPIRAL JOURNAL explores the intersection of American football and culture in its ‘Future’ issue

If you’re a fan of American football, you’re probably familiar with the culture that surrounds the game. But what many people don’t realise is that football is not just a sport, it’s a cultural phenomenon that has spread beyond the United States. That’s where SPIRAL comes in. SPIRAL is an annual publication that explores the connection between art, design, music, fashion, and football. Each issue centres around a specific theme, and for its second issue, the theme was ‘Future.’ The issue covers a wide range of topics, from the rise of the NFL to the way data is transforming the way we consume the game. It also explores the international voices that are growing the sport abroad and the women who are leading the way in the world of football. One of the highlights of the second issue is the interviews with Super Bowl champion Chris Godwin, the multidisciplinary studio PLAYLAB, southern rapper YGTUT, and contemporary fashion label Our Legacy. These interviews provided a unique perspective on the intersection of football with other aspects of culture, demonstrating how football is a central part of American culture and how it affects other parts of the world.
