Nolan Ryan

The Ryan Express chugged along for almost 30 years with stops at Queens, New York (Mets); Anaheim, California; Houston; and Arlington, Texas. In that time, Nolan Ryan amassed 5,714 strikeouts to go along with 324 wins. This illustration prepares us for liftoff as one of the hardest hurlers to ever play the game cocks his arm back to deliver another strike. The Tequila Sunrise jerseys striping extends outward to anchor the design with one of the most iconic design elements in sports history. A segmented graduation of blues carries the viewer into the background. As the rocket brings them up to the marquee, they see “The Ryan Express” in a bold typographic treatment that accents the Tequila Sunrise in the lower portion of the design.
