Empire Art Direct Empire Art - Football Pads

Shown in a diagrammatical sketch, the football pads in this image look much less like the simple protective wear used in sports and more like some kind of futuristic armour. The beauty of Patent Office prints is that we can see an object out of context and appreciate its form properly, including the inherent aesthetic appeal which rises even in utilitarian design. Those who enjoy the sport will appreciate the work that went into inventing this padding.
