Summary

Grant has a fascinating conversation with Matthew Wolff (at 27:30), the leading designer of soccer badges in the American game, about his work with LAFC, Racing Louisville, the Oakland Roots and several other clubs. Wolff, who worked in-house at Nike (with the Nigeria 2018 World Cup kit, France and PSG) and at NYCFC, tells the story of his origins as a soccer designer and how he goes about his process involving communities, color, typography and other elements. Before that, Grant catches up on the soccer weekend with Daryl Grove of our partner podcast the Total Soccer Show. They discuss Chelsea's win over Manchester United and Arsenal's over Man City in the FA Cup semifinals; Leicester City's loss to Spurs and what it means for the Top 4 battle; the MLS tournament, including LAFC, young American goal scorers and the fun/great/bad San Jose win over Vancouver; and Portland's takedown of top-seeded North Carolina in the NWSL tournament.
