Kozhikode ∙ Excitement runs through the veins. Countdown has begun. Only a month to go until the whistle blows in Qatar. Football fans are needed in Malabar. On the side of the road, in the club yard and above the reading room, the poster war has begun. Argentina fans and Brazil fans have started printing billboards and posters. Fans keep the information about the size of the board they print a secret to outdo their competitors.
Jaisal Pullalur, owner of the sign park in front of the Sreekandeshwara temple in Kozhikode, said that more varied boards and hoardings are being prepared this time than during the last World Cup. With the banning of flex, new printing materials have emerged.
The rush to print banners, hoardings, huge cutouts etc. has already started. Jaisal Pullalur said that this time they are doing sticker work with their favorite team’s flag and logo on the vehicles, small cutouts that can be placed on the table and inside the room, wall stickers etc. Jaisal also said that this time the trend is to design the interior of the offices and shop rooms of the organizations according to the football theme.
The walls will be completely decorated with the colors of the team’s flag, cutouts of the players etc. For the next two months, the billboard printing companies have decided to prepare themselves for fan wars.
