Klinskoe Fan Festival cups
The Fan Festival is a big and loud celebration that takes place during the World Cup in cities that host the matches. The festival brings together everyone who couldn’t make it to the stadium but still wants to watch teams play and take part in the loud event: visitors can watch the games on big screens, listen to the music of famous musicians, buy souvenirs and of course enjoy great food and drinks. All juice, pop and beer at the festival is served in special Klinskoe cups designed at the studio.

A special character was drawn for each of the 11 participating cities, each representing a famous symbol of the city. It just so happens that a soccer team also counts 11 players, so together the characters form the festival team. Their uniforms are red and white with the Russian flag on socks (or sometimes tail covers).
Moscow
The main Moscow cup features the Bear. He is the biggest of all, so he protects the goal. He is also the team’s captain because he doubles as the symbol of the country. Besides, he also reminds of the Russian Premier League logo designed at the studio.
