In building his custom jersey Icarus FC over the past four years, Robbie Smukler has held onto the idea in the back of his head of hosting a weekend tournament in Philadelphia with teams all wearing his company’s designs.
That idea became a reality over the weekend with the first ever Icarus Cup at Drexel University’s Vidas Athletic Complex.
Forty-one teams gathered for the weekend event and all wore Icarus FC designs for the 7v7 tournament, which was put on in partnership with local adult league CASA Soccer.
“It’s surreal and ridiculous to see all these teams wearing the jerseys,” Smukler said.
