#030 ⤑ TIFO: Football Fan Stickers – Revised Edition Coming Soon
Get involved with our next books
Hello everyone,
We’re excited to share some updates about TIFO: The Art Of Football Fan Stickers.
With steady sales, we’re gearing up for a revised edition set to be released just in time for the US World Cup - yes that is in 2026, but publishing isn’t the fastest industry in the world.
We’ve already started taking new pictures during our travels, and soon we’ll be focusing on US clubs to build a comprehensive USA section.
Creating TIFO: The Art Of Football Fan Stickers was an adventure.
We travelled around Europe, capturing countless pictures and gathering stories and anecdotes. If we’re honest, we didn’t commission the title as thoroughly as we should have, which meant the focus of the book needed to be found along the way.
(You can read more about commissiong in one of previous posts here)
The collage style that defines TIFO emerged from necessity rather than meticulous planning, but it worked out beautifully in the end. This project taught us invaluable lessons: commission properly, price your titles correctly, and most importantly, market your titles effectively – something we continue to strive for.
If you're based in the US, we’d love your help - Please!
With a new revised edition on the cards, including a section on US football (or soccer!), we’ll no doubt be doing a trip, harassing our US friends and family, and reaching out to everyone across our Stickerbomb community. So, if you’d like to get involved, take some pictures of football (soccer) stickers in your area and send them our way. You can respond here, email us, DM us on IG - whatever it is, get involved.
Your contributions could be part of the next edition of TIFO: The Art Of Football Fan Stickers and yes you will be credited.
Shoutout To Miguel who recently sent us this heartwarming email.
Miguel, a Barcelona based designer featured in our TIFO book. We didn’t know him before, but we’re happy to say we do now. Here’s some lovely words:
"Yesterday, at a museum shop, I was in Barcelona, the city where I live now, with my two sisters. Your book caught my attention. I really love the sticker world. We opened it looking for the Sevilla FC section, and we got really excited to see two personal stickers designed by me! These two are the first two on the right page, the one with the English flag and the One Love sticker next to it. You guys made my week. I bought the book and wanted to show it to my children. I'm a big fan of stickers, and those two were some of the first I made, about 10 years ago."
We were in the Barcelona museum shop just a few months talking to them about stocking our titles so stories like Miguel’s make it all worthwhile, and we’re very thrilled to know have such a passionate community.
More Ways Of Getting Involved
Additionally, we’re taking submissions for our next Stickerbomb book – this time it’s all about sneakers. We’ve already received a lot of fantastic responses, but we’re always looking for more.
If you’re an illustrator, designer, or artist with great images of trainers that fit our vibe, send them through - email us on design@stickerbombworld.com :)
Next Week: As summer slowly, very slowly winds down we take a personal reflection: once more on the joys and challenges of remote publishing.
