Irving was delighted to be part of the launch, despite going down 3-2 to Orford in a thrilling video game.
He said: “We’re bang centre of Times Square, it doesn’t get much better than that! Having a walk round the store, meeting the people that work here and all the fans that turned out has been a great experience. It’s one of the most iconic places in the world and West Ham is massive here as well, it’s quality, it is great to see the affect the Club’s work is having in America, it’s been fantastic for us as players.”
Kevin Quagraine, Head of Brand at Art of Football, was proud to launch the collection at such an iconic location.
He said: “The event has been an incredible coming together of people, what we both wanted to do was to demonstrate we have a really strong fanbase in the US. When you see the culture, the heritage, of West Ham it’s such a great family orientated community both here and in east London, so for us it’s amazing to be at the heart of Times Square and showcase the two brands together.”
