Sometimes art imitates life, and a creative comes along and conjures up a soccer team that’s so cool, it should be real.
And then sometimes life imitates art, and the fans of this creation simply will it into actual existence with their passion.
This is Saltair FC, and we were ecstatic to have Andy Muñoz as our guest on this episode of Beyond 90. He is the producer of the RSL Show, but he’s also the founder, president, CEO, and maybe some other titles, too, for the never-defeated Saltair FC, a team that he simply made up.
Saltair FC’s story - by way of Andy - is a wonderful mashup of love for the game of soccer, art and creative expression, and some serious Back to the Future-level fan fiction by the ravenous Saltair FC supporters.
We highly encourage you to follow this wonderful creation on social media @SaltairFC and pick up their beautiful @IcarusFC kit and other outrageously cool merch at www.saltairfc.com.
