The Challenge

One unmistakable message for club, players and fans

Heading into the 2015/16 A-League season, the Wanderers needed a campaign that would unify the club and its supporters under one unmistakable message.

The creative had to represent pride, resilience and community, while creating a stadium environment that felt powerful, immersive and unmistakably Western Sydney.

The Solution

A visual rallying cry built from pride, power and place

I developed a complete season identity inspired by historical wartime propaganda posters from America, Russia and England, reinterpreted through the Wanderers’ red, black and white palette.

Players and coaches were illustrated in a posterised style, reducing tones into bold, graphic shapes that captured strength, character and individuality.

A neutral grey sub-palette added depth while maintaining clarity and consistency across all applications.

The Rally system extended across:

Postcards

“Pride. Power. West.” became the visual rallying cry, capturing the spirit of the region and its people.

Stadium banners

Large-scale vinyl drop-downs featuring illustrated player portraits wrapped the stadium and created an immersive match day environment.

Match day programmes

Each issue highlighted a different player across both A-League Men’s and Women’s teams, reinforcing unity and equal representation across the club.

The Outcome

A campaign that turned supporter energy into a movement

The Rally campaign became one of the club’s most distinctive and recognisable visual identities.

It turned the stadium into a gallery of pride, power and purpose, strengthening emotional connection and transforming supporter energy into a movement.

The season culminated in the Wanderers reaching their third grand final in five seasons, with the Rally campaign firmly embedded in the club’s culture.
