Jacquemus will sponsor a football club AS Charleval, the team from the village where his grandparents lived
Surprisingly, Jacquemus becomes the sponsor of the amateur club AS Charleval. This choice is far from random, considering that it is the team from the village where the founder, Simon Porte Jacquemus, spent his childhood and where his grandparents lived. It was also there, a few years ago, that he celebrated his wedding. This decision further confirms the brand’s commitment to its roots and the French territory, as well as the designer’s obsession with celebrating, in one way or another, the landscapes of his childhood to which he is deeply attached. To give an idea of the type of sponsorship and the connection between the club and the designer, it is as if a well-known Italian fashion designer — for example Giorgio Armani or Brunello Cucinelli (mentioned not to compare their stature to Simon Porte Jacquemus, but as examples of eponymous brands) — sponsored a Prima Categoria team from a small, remote village in the Italian province.
The small stature of AS Charleval is also reflected in the extremely simple design of the Home, Away, and Third kits used this season. The club is sponsored by the Spanish supplier Joma and has three very minimalist kits: in order, black, red, and white. Since the French designer got involved, the design has not been modified in any way: the brand name was simply added to the center of the shirt in its characteristic typeface, in black.
Excluding the campaign shot with Jules Koundé as the protagonist, until a few months ago, if we had imagined Jacquemus entering the world of football, we would hardly have expected to see two worlds so distant come together, not so much in terms of industry, but in terms of perception and positioning. At the same time, the brand’s interest in football — even starting from a small example like AS Charleval — could pave the way for a future collaboration with a larger sports brand, such as Nike, with whom Jacquemus has already worked in the past on a sneaker capsule.
