(Update: Click here for our interview with the kit’s creator and info on how to order your own.)
One of the major reasons we issued the call for your beautiful gear submissions was to showcase creativity just like this. Some football clubs have names draped in the allure of old European history, such as Real Madrid who were given the “royal” distinction by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem. Others are simply a product of 21st century capitalism, such as Thierry Henry’s New York Red Bulls, who also happen to play their home games in Red Bull Arena and are owned by the energy drink Red Bull. Portman Kunis United, however, falls under the special category of artistic appreciation. Never heard of the club? Let our man Mike Miller explain…
I’ve got an indoor soccer team in Division 11 (1 being best, 11 being worst… obviously) here in Dallas Texas and I would like to submit our team jerseys which I designed and made. The patches are embroidered and the lettering is authentic jersey vinyl on Adidas Predator blanks. While we only finished 3rd in our division, I like to think we looked good doing it. The team name is Portman Kunis United (aka The Scissors). It’s a tribute to Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman in the movie Black Swan, for their….. amazing acting. Notice the handcrafted numbering, custom with a swan on each number.
Away version:
Hey! It’s our old pal Bert! That is pretty damn awesome.
That Umbro Diamond Icons Classic Track Jacket is still up for grabs, so keep sending in your stuffs and we’ll keep posting ‘em. Do it.

The scissors, the swan, the team name…everything…it’s…BEAUTIFUL.
I live and play here in Dallas… I must know who’s team this is so I can play for them. How do I contact them?
Oh dear god. Want. Wantwantwant. Screw shelling out $80+ for some big European club’s home kit. I want one of those.
Thanks for the post sir!!! I’m all giddy, it’s hard to type!
Peter, we play at Inwood Soccer Center in Addison Thursday nights. tx.mmiller@gmail.com
How’s about putting some up for sale somewhere? I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one interested in buying one or two.
+1! I’d buy me one of them kits. And I’d run with it too. (Get it? Runnign with scissors?) Seriously, sweet work.
Mike,
As a fellow designer I have to say this is absolutely amazing. You did a wonderful job creating each aspect of the jerseys. Much love and respect went into creating this, and I love it. Great job. I will be contacting you to give input on my future inspired Portman-Kunis United-style kit.
those are much better than the new Barcelona jerseys
They certainly are. As someone said on Twitter, they’ve relegated the Unicef logo to right above their arses and basically turned it into the jersey equivalent of a tramp stamp.
I heard that Charshavin guy is a twunt.
The white top is nice but then I saw the black top and I MUST have one!!! How can I get one???
Dude thats awesome.
How do I order???!!! I NEED one.
Please make some customs/replicas for us admirers of fine football wear.
BRILLIANT! Design, names, everything is PERFECT. Seriously, me and a few of my ladies-who-love-ladies friends would buy those kits in a heartbeat. You should make t-shirts. I’d be proud to wear one.
how can i buy one?! would def rock one of these.
I would drop more than a few shekels for a black scissors jersey. I’m with all your other admirers: PLEASE make some extras for all the fan boys!
I want one as well. Please put some up for sale! I would even shell out extra for customized name and numbers as well! Absolutely beautiful jersey!
This is the finest jersey I have ever seen. I recently purchased my first ManUtd jersey and this trumps my excitement for that. I NEED this jersey! I need it… Also, I too play at American Indoor, and if you’re ever in need of a player, I’d be happy to join!
I’m trying to figure out how to somewhat mass produce these and keep it as cheap as possible. If you are really interested, I just put up a facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/PortmanKunisUnited. Friend me and I will keep yall updated there so we don’t have to spam up this site.
Seriously thanks for all of the compliments, and of course BG.
This jersey needs the number 69.
I was thinking the white kit should have PORTMAN 6 and the black kit KUNIS 9.
yeah i would shell out money for one of these too.
It’s… Perfect. Brill design, embroidery, etc. The swan, ‘Messy’, and especially ‘BERT TIDDLE’ was a nice touch! I’d love to see more of these around.
I imagine these guys must have a strong following with this merch, like PKUFC Come on you Scissors!
these are brilliant. I literally laughed out loud when I got the joke about why you are named the scissors. I would definitely buy one of these kits. Amazing stuff. So creative.
Great! I really love the logo. Not sure if I would buy a kit, but definitely count me in for a t-shirt!
Anyway, you certainly piqued my curiosity with your club’s name. I wish you the best, I am going to follow your results!
This kit is AMAZING! Learn something FC Barcelona, you’d think with the money they have they could’ve hired someone creative. Anyway, I love it and would definitely want one except for the ‘Saints & Sinners’ title; I find it a bit tacky
Those are amazing!
please start selling these!!! i want a home and an away.
