The Proper Label / Maison de Sport

Selected Partnerships

We work with sporting institutions and brands to create collections, images and experiences rooted in a shared sense of identity.

01 / The approach

A shared point of view.

Every partnership begins with the people, places and values that make an organisation distinct. We listen first, then define what we can create together.

The Maison brings its approach to clothing, design and sporting culture. The partner brings its own history and community. The work should feel natural to both.

Clubs, leagues & federations

Collections and stories that give sporting identity a place in everyday life, from the stands to the city.

Brands & cultural partners

Considered collaborations for brands in lifestyle, hospitality, food and drink, and culture, shaped around a clear shared purpose.

02 / What we create

An idea, given form.

Collections & objects

Clothing, accessories and objects developed around the partner’s identity and the way people will use them.

Image & storytelling

A coherent visual direction, from photography and campaign to the small details that introduce a collection.

Spaces & experiences

Temporary spaces, presentations and moments of encounter that bring the collaboration into the world.

The starting point

The club’s colours, the character of the District and the people who carry its identity beyond matchday.

The expression

Graphics, club history, labels and construction carry the same attention, from the first design decisions to the piece worn in the stands.

The collection is presented under the official license of Major League Soccer and Fanatics.
