The Football Association: Respect – fighting back against the ugly side of football.

The Respect Campaign is the Football Association‘s great work to fight back against the ugly side of football both on and off the pitch at all levels of the game, from grassroots right up to the elite professionals. The key message is one of collective responsibility for everyone involved in football to create a fair, safe and enjoyable environment in which the game can take place.

We were thrilled to play a tiny part when asked to produce Respect branded, red and yellow promotional referees cards to be given out throughout the UK to drive awareness of the campaign.

Sometimes, it can be a small, simple printed piece that really gets noticed. Handing out these fun cards to younger children, playing football at school could well be their first encounter with the Respect campaign and a great opportunity to introduce those important values at an early age.

The FA have launched a great new site and video here if you want to find out more.
