CELEBRATING HISPANIC & LATINO CULTURE
CELEBRATING HISPANIC & LATINO CULTURE

Por La Cultura encapsulates Charlotte Football Club’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Beyond the month on the calendar, it embodies the deep ties of family, food, and fútbol that are at the core of Hispanic and Latino culture. We come together to honor and celebrate generations of Hispanic and Latino roots, flavors that connect our communities, and the universal language of fútbol that unites hearts across cultures, embracing togetherness throughout the Carolinas.

MEET KEVIN ORTIZ

Charlotte Football Club is excited to collaborate with Puerto Rican designer Kevin Ortiz for this year's Por La Cultura design. Born and raised in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, Kevin's art is inspired by his cultural roots, and is known for his creative impact through his street art.

POR LA CULTURA - BEHIND THE DESIGN

POR LA CULTURA - BEHIND THE DESIGN

Designed by Kevin Ortiz, the scarf of the month was inspired by the unique characteristics found across the Hispanic community. This includes customary traditional Mexican floral patterns and visual representations of the vibrant colors, architecture, materials, and finishes. 

Personal touches from Kevin are also represented in this design through the "La Cultura" wordmark, written in his handwriting, and the Flor de Maga, the Puerto Rican national flower, pays homage to his Puerto Rican heritage and ongoing support from his community.
