SPIRAL -Ā ISSUE I: TRIBALISM
Founded by Editor-In-Chief Shawn Ghassemitari,Ā SpiralĀ is a print and digital publication that bridges the gap between football and culture. Printed annually, each issue explores a theme that connects the culture surrounding the game through the worlds of sport, art, design, music and fashion.Ā
The first issue aims to both celebrate and challenge the diverse world of football by highlighting the gameās storied yet troublesome history, observing the many relics and traditions shared by fans, discussing the players and āsuperfansā who have rose to mythic proportions, along with speaking to an array of creatives, athletes, and individuals who are all pushing football forward.
Issue I features contributors such as Steven Harrington, Samantha Rapoport, Ryan Russell, Ben Lyons, Michael MacCambridge, Devin Troy Strother, Nathan Bell, and many many more.Ā āāāāāāā
