New York Gridlock Ultimate is excited to announce that we partnered with Calicho Arevalo to raise funds to support NYGL athletes.
Calicho Arevalo is an internationally acclaimed artist based in NYC, celebrated for his vibrant large-scale paintings, murals, sculptures, and digital art. Born in Bogota, Colombia, he seamlessly integrates four essential elements into his creations: three-line stripes, wildlife, doodles, and portals.
Infusing his native culture into his work, Calicho draws inspiration primarily from New York City, which serves as his greatest muse and ignited his journey as an artist. The three stripes symbolize his Colombian heritage, reminiscent of the Colombian flag. Wildlife references in his art evoke a profound connection to the symbolism of animals, reflecting the deep emotional bonds people share with these creatures. His daring use of dark portals symbolizes the passage of time and space, embodying the resilience required to endure hardships and emerge stronger. Doodles within his artwork represent diversity, simplicity, and freedom.
Calicho is friends with Gridlock co-captain, Yina Cartegena. He knows the challenges many players face, balancing their finances, training and building their personal brands as pro ultimate athletes.
We have 2 designs in this series. One that represent NYGL's colors and the other that is a combination of NYGL + the Colombian flag. There are only 50 of each design. Each order is limited to 4 discs and only 2 of each design.
The discs are for sale on a sliding scale, with 3 options;
Solidarity rate $35
Flat Rate $50
Redistribution Rate $60

All of the funds raised will go towards Gridlock athletes stipends and away game travel costs. The more we raise, the more we have to support our athletes!!
