On the September 2011, I drew a cartoon on Jordan achievement
in the World Cup qualifications first phase in Asia, which was a “Football”
wears an Arabic “Keffiyeh” (a traditional headdress) and heading to Brazil with
slogan يلا عالبرزيل (Let’s go to Brazil) and so that
the illustration was later published through Goal.com the Arabic edition.
Later on it popped to my mind an idea to draw a mascot to Jordan with a
business plan to establish a T Shirt and merchandising industry to supports the
Jordanian national team. So I went the Jordan Football Association on the 15th
of May 2012 to meet the marketing manager Mohannad Mahadeen to work with the
JFA on the idea. Mahadeen asked me to draw a mascot which I made him an eagle
wears the Jordanian jersey.
Later he told me that the JFA can’t afford to spend on the
project because they don’t have the cash. Later I was surprised to see the JFA
is asking an advertising agency to design a mascot with using my slogan (Let’s go to Brazil)
and recently they are printing T-Shirts with it to sell it to the markets
before the important matches between Jordan
and Uruguay.
