Alcro: Colour Tackle
Average: 7 (36 votes)

We illustrate a Swedish ice hockey player in a dramatic tackle with an opponent from another team. The visual and dramatic colour splash also went outside the traditional frames of advertising billboards in a very literal way.

I can feel the intensity of the sport.

come on guys, it looks like there's blood all over the walls - nothing you want to be linked to fair play and sport. this isn't a dramatic tackle, this is ripping the opponent apart, which is far too much in a public environment. they just fucked it up using the red colour.
what's the brand?

Great visual. For sure an eye-catcher.
@stickynotes this is hockey - supposed to be brutal ;)

Should have picked an opponent without a red jersey... it looks like the guy literally exploded all over the wall.

I guess that's kinda the point... Blood, guts and glory.

Does anyone watch hockey!?
