Tecate gives Mexican soccer fans the ultimate way to cheer for their team during the World Cup

2010-06-03T08:25:00.001-04:00

What do you get when you combine crazed soccer fans with one of Mexico’s signature beer brands? Tecate face paint! Okay, so maybe it’s not the first thing that came to mind, but here is how it came to be.

Tecate’s agency, Adrenalina, tapped SOBO Concepts to come up with an idea for an inexpensive giveaway for the true fan of the Mexican national soccer team – with World Cup approaching in Summer 2010. We came to the table with ideas ranging from t-shirts to lucha libre masks to face paint.

Face paint was the winner, produced in green, white and red – the national colors of Mexico. Adrenalina came up with a unique packaging design to showcase crazy fans on the front, with a World Cup schedule on the back. A can of Tecate with the tagline “Con Carácter” also appears on front and back of the package.

Heineken’s Mexican brands buyer (Heineken recently acquired Tecate and other Mexican beer brands) sold the idea to distributors in California, Texas and Illinois. SOBO delivered the product in one month. GOAL!

Don’t be surprised if you see some of those loco face-painters cheering on team Mexico in the World Cup in June.

Mariachi x Punk

2010-03-22T12:33:00.001-04:00

About a year ago NPR reported on the band, The Bronx. Members of the once hard-core punk band transformed themselves into the Mariachi El Punk. Those of you who are from Los Angeles understand the Mexican influence on all aspects of the city, from food to music. According to the band's singer, Matt Caughtran and Guy Raz, the band's guitarist... "I think that mariachi, or Latin music in general, is as much a Southern California kind of music as punk... Probably the most important bands in our lives are Black Flag and Los Lobos."

This T-shirt, designed by Christy Gonzalez, was inspired by this concept. Let us know what you think.

SOBO Offices Robbed

Last night some crazy fan rammed in the gate in our parking lot, broke 2 hurricane-proof windows and stole a bunch of shirts from our Miami office. The funny thing is that he left all the computers, printers, cameras, etc. Guess he really liked the shirts. Make sure to get them while they're hot (literally) at www.surropa.com.

La Cave des Fondus

2009-07-14T11:41:00.001-04:00

I recently came upon this French Restaurant in New York City called La Cave des Fondus. The unique thing about this new hot spot, which opened in December of last year, is not its intentionally rude waiters (living in Miami, this is definitely not a novel feature), but the fact that they serve wine in glass baby bottles. Could this become the next big trend in alcohol consumption... I'll let you decide.

I just found out this illustration

2009-07-11T11:38:00.001-04:00

and i think its hilarious!

Mil Máscaras, A Living Legend

2009-07-07T16:14:00.001-04:00

Yesterday, I spoke on the phone with Mil Mascaras, one of the most important Mexican wrestlers in history. Having grown up outside Boston, Lucha Libre was something pretty foreign to me. After having worked in Latin America for over 15 years, however, I have definitely gained an appreciation for Lucha Libre and for the ground-breaking work Mil Mascaras started when he first entered the professional ring in 1965. He is known for introducing high-flying moves such as the plancha and tope suicida, as he travelled across the world entertaining fans from Mexico to the US to Japan. Mil Mascara's persona and flashy look was originally created for the big screen, and performed in over 17 Mexican horror/wrestling/action films. The name Mil Mascaras means "a thousand masks." He allegedly wore a different mask for each match. Those of you who haven't yet experienced Lucha Libre, make sure to check out our friends at Lucha Va Voom, which is now leaving it's home in California to perform shows in Chicago and New York.

SOBO Distributing Zipz Shoes in Latin America

2009-07-07T11:14:00.001-04:00

SOBO, along with its California partner EBA LLC, has recently been selected to distribute Zipz shoes in Latin America. For those of you not yet familiar with this brand (it launches in the US in September), it is destined to completely reinvent the way you purchase shoes... The shoe's upper zips off and can be replaced with other colors, patters, high-top/low-top, etc. For the first time ever, you can purchase the outsole separately from the upper, creating your own unique look. The owners have spent the last five years perfecting the quality and it really is one of the most comfortable shoes you'll wear. Latin American retailers that are interested in purchasing, you can contact us at info@sobogear.com. Look for more information shortly.

Over the River

2009-07-06T13:16:00.000-04:00

Most of you may be familiar with the artistic works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude from their most recent 2005 work in Central Park. They created a series of 7,503 vinyl gates with nylon fabric panels, transforming the park into a canvas that only could be replicated by the artists themselves. Their other past works have included highlighting the islands in Biscayne Bay, Miami with pink fabric, the Pont Neuf in Paris with polyamide fabric or the Reichstag in Berlin, with an aluminum-looking polypropylene. Through these works, they always manage to call attention to structures and the environment in ways that create a renewed appreciation. Their most recent project, scheduled to be revealed sometime in 2013, involves suspending shimmering waves of fabric, for a distance of 5.9 miles, above the Arkansas River in Colorado.

Go Getter Sign

2009-06-26T11:33:00.001-04:00

Not sure why, something about these crazy times we're living, made this piece of art by Patrick Martinez appealing. Perhaps it combines the energy and passion of a sports game with the desperation people are currently feeling. Definitely a strong statement but it spoke to me none the less.

Picasso Art Day

2009-06-24T10:21:00.001-04:00

Today, June 24th, is Picasso Art Day. In 1901, Pablo Picasso's first art exhibition opened in Paris, France. Did you also know that Picasso's full name was Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Nepomuceno Maria de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso... What a mouth-full. Having produced over 50,000 works during his lifetime gave him unprecedented exposure. The fact that he spearheaded the century's most important movement (cubism) and its defining technique (collage) and painted its most imposing masterpiece ("Guernica") - makes it hard to believe that most subsequent modern artists haven't been influenced Picasso.

LP3 is the name of the new RATATAT record!

2009-06-20T12:09:00.001-04:00

LP3

If you like good music you like RATATAT which is a band formed by multi instrumentalist and programmer Evan Mast and guitarist Mike Srithmstroud from NY. The music that they make is purely instrumental but is so unique that you will wonder why you didn't know about them all this time.
For those who already know them you have to hear LP3! filled with majestic baroque guitar riffs, enigmatic reverse rhythms and other sonic surprises.... you're gonna love it.

Gianluca Fallone

2009-06-11T16:58:00.001-04:00

Gianluca Fallone is a designer/illustrator from Argentina, currently based in London. At only 23 years old, he has managed to build up an impressive folio that includes work with clients such as MTV, Nike and Cartoon Network.

Fallone’s stance is simple —’I love type and design, and I particularly like when both are present — and evident in much of his work. He is inspired by Japanese animation and comic books that also triggered his ’illustration-design rollercoaster,’ and his pieces are beautifully crafted and extremely detailed. Fallone is putting his mark on the Argentinean design world, and we are expecting to see great things from this young and amazingly talented artist. - Brendan McKnight

The museum tells the story of the Latino experience in America through art, history and culture. SOBO is very excited and honored to be part of this experience.

SOBO is a new and exciting apparel and lifestyle company who's mission is to evolve Hispanic-focused products to today's tech-savvy, culturally proud Latino. Based in Miami (which many claim to be South of the Border), we're part of a great bilingual/bicultural community. It's our goal to offer products that bring out the best in Hispanic culture, humor and style. Part of our strategy also involves seeking out great artists and designers to collaborate with us as we attempt to help grow the Latino clothing category. We look forward to hearing from you, as we're always open to new ideas and suggestions.
