Poster, Print or Canvas: Which Should You Buy?

A poster is the print on its own from £20. A canvas is stretched over a wooden frame, needs no glass and hangs straight out of the box from £50. All three carry the same original portrait, drawn by hand by FIFA-commissioned sports artist Jim Scullion and printed only by PLZ Soccer.

What size is A1, A2 and A3?

A-series sizes halve each time. A1 is twice the area of A2, which is twice A3.

Size	Millimetres	Centimetres	Inches
A1	594 × 841	59.4 × 84.1	23.4 × 33.1
A2	420 × 594	42.0 × 59.4	16.5 × 23.4
A3	297 × 420	29.7 × 42.0	11.7 × 16.5
A4	210 × 297	21.0 × 29.7	8.3 × 11.7

A1 is roughly the width of a two-seat sofa and works as the single focal point on a wall. A2 suits an alcove, a landing or a gallery wall alongside other pieces. A3 is the desk, shelf or small-wall size. A4 is available on framed prints only.

Which should I buy?

Buy the poster, and you can frame it to suit your own specifications when you receive it in the post.

At £20, it is the cheapest way to own the artwork. You can decide if you want a particular frame, mount or colour to match a room when you receive the poster in the post.

Buy the canvas if you want no glass and no reflection

The print is stretched over a wooden frame, so there is no glazing to catch the light from a window or a television. It hangs straight out of the box. At £50, it is the most expensive of the three, and the texture of canvas is a different look from paper — softer, less sharp, more like a painting than a print.

Common questions

Does the poster come framed?

No. The poster is the print on its own from £20.

Will the poster fit a standard frame?

Yes. A1, A2 and A3 are standard international paper sizes, so any off-the-shelf frame sold in those sizes will fit.

Can I get every player in every format?

Yes! All 21 subjects are available as posters, canvases, t-shirts and ladies' t-shirts.

Is this official club merchandise?

No. These are original portraits drawn for PLZ Soccer by Jim Scullion. They are not licensed by any club, and you will not find them on another retailer, a marketplace or a print-on-demand site.
