50 years later George Best's Stylo Matchmakers football

This iconic British football boot label established itself in 1966, the year England became world champion. After more than 50 years, Stylo Matchmakers are back in challenging the soccer shoe industry today, by serving large pockets of outlets where major corporate brands are unwelcome and unwanted.

The Stylo Matchmakers brand was the first British brand to have broken the soccer shoe market throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, and today they are on a mission to do so again.

George Best was one of the players responsible for the great growth in Stylo Matchmakers. George Best is still ranked as one of the most talented footballers of all time.

Best was an award-winning Irish international soccer player, whose fans around the world have captured a unique touch, never seen before. Best had the skill and agility to beat some of the best football players of his time and with his amazing style both on and off the field, he was a soccer player who went to influence soccer fans in millions.

In 1968, the young Manchester United put a pen on paper and signed Stylo Matchmakers, which was known as the most successful British boot brand, and that before it was also worn by Pele and later became the most popular brand of soccer shoes in the 1970s.

George Best signed and designed Heirship Sixty Eyl Stylo Matchmakers. Before that, soccer shoes were usually completely black or even brown. Stylo Matchmakers also added a ‘Quality Bar’ to its designs.

When George Best announced his support for ads, Stylo Matchmakers sales increased. Stylo has sold over one million pairs of soccer shoes around the world. In the months that followed, Best also designed and created his own fashion line with the Stylo Matchmakers team.

At the age of 22, while wearing Stylo Matchmakers, Best undoubtedly helped Manchester United win. They won two league titles and a European Cup. He also called for the Ballon d d’Or Award, an annual football award that is considered a prestigious individual award for soccer players and became the youngest footballer of the year.

Signing the deal with Stylo Matchmakers was pioneering. He led the way for future professional footballers to work alongside sports brands.

Stylo Matchmakers followed Best with the signing of young Liverpool star “Merseyy’s Mighty Mouse” AKA Kevin Keegan. This trend started as Stylo became the largest and largest soccer shoe brand in the English game.

After the Stylo Matchmakers preliminary deal, George Best learned to market himself and in turn became the world’s first famous sports star and original football image. His presence in the football world during the late 1960s and 1970s rivaled the Beatle’s presence in the music industry. It is known that the Portuguese fans of George Best called it “The Beetle”.

 

Stylo Matchmakers today is the brand choice for footballers who do not want to follow the company’s trends, but who want to represent the change of times in football.
