Proud to have played a small part in history with @thfcflags — creating a custom wordmark, inspired by the traditional THFC monogram, for scarves worn by the thousands of Spurs fans who travelled to Bilbao. Seeing them in the hands of players as they lifted the Europa League trophy is something I’ll never forget.

2pm - Ametzola fan zone.

[THFCFlags @thfcflags]

We’ve been working on something behind the scenes and so excited to finally be able to share it with you!

Those in Bilbao will have a chance to get their hands on a limited-edition scarf with a brand-new design created specifically for the final. Even better, completely free!

Come and find us at the fan zone from 2pm and grab one from one of our volunteers. There is a limited amount so get down early so you don’t miss out!

An incredible experience talking to the @europaleague about our work for @thfcflags alongside @jamessheriv , sharing the inspiration behind some of our flag designs and our plans for the Europa League semi-final with @SpursOfficial. It’s running everyday on @tntsports this week until the game!

[THFCFlags @thfcflags]

We’re super excited to share a brand-new limited edition t-shirt design, based on our last tifo and the iconic WHL gates. Proceeds will not only help fund future displays but 20% will go directly to @tottfoodbank. Bag yours now! https://t.co/iEueP6jaBW

Last week, we displayed our latest tifo.
It was an honour to design and preserve a piece of club history.

A big thank you to the volunteers who brought it together during a stormy weekend, laying down 17,000 pieces of card.
