The “Tennessee Waterslide” with Jacob Shaffelburg Debuts the Fashion Line
Shaffelburg to Host Special Meet & Greet as T-Shirts Go on Sale at GEODIS Park’s Team Store, Tomorrow, Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. CT
Nashville Soccer Club introduced today the “Nashville SC Showstoppers,” a limited-edition apparel series that celebrates the connection between Nashville’s art scene and the sport of soccer in a clothing line that is meant to wittily redefine the realm of player apparel. The “Showstoppers” will go on sale exclusively at the club’s Team Store located at GEODIS Park.
Marking the series’ grand debut with a masterpiece, the “Tennessee Waterslide” t-shirt encapsulates the dynamic spirit and essence of Nashville SC Midfielder and Canada Soccer international Jacob Shaffelburg. Inspired by his iconic mullet haircut, this inaugural piece mirrors the cascading flow and speed of a waterslide, as the design embodies the playfulness and artistic flair with the joyous rush one experiences when sliding down a waterslide.
This series is brought to life in collaboration with the highly acclaimed visual artist, Joshua Noom, whose portfolio includes work with the likes of the Dave Matthews Band and Phish. Noom expertly marries detailed and bold illustrations with a traditional graphic design aesthetic, adding an organic touch of typography to craft pieces that are as engaging as they are unique. Nashville SC will roll out more designs as the end of the 2023 MLS season continues to unfold.
In the meantime, Shaffelburg will be at the exclusive launch of the inaugural “Showstoppers” t-shirt, the “Tennessee Waterslide” on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. CT at the Nashville SC’s Team Store situated at GEODIS Park (501 Benton Road, Nashville, TN 37203). Fans will be able to interact with the player and get exclusive access to the “Tennessee Waterslide” t-shirt.
Nashville SC joined Major League Soccer on Feb. 29, 2020 in front of the largest attendance ever recorded for a soccer match in the State of Tennessee. In its inaugural MLS season, Nashville SC defeated expectations by becoming the second MLS expansion side to win and advance to the Conference Semifinals in the 2020 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Nashville SC returned to the 2021 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in its sophomore season after becoming just the seventh team in MLS history to go unbeaten at home in a season. Nashville SC inaugurated GEODIS Park, the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States and Canada, in front of a 30,109-sellout crowd on May 1, 2022.
