When I create soccer layouts for my daughter, they tend towards the cute side of the scrapping spectrum, but since her team in 2016 was the Blue Grizzles, I instead went with a more gritty look with lots of distressing and a realistic bear die-cut. I'm still working on my layouts for the 5 for 5 Challenge over on Scrapbook.com, so I used the same sketch but rotated it 180 degrees. For the other requirements of the challenge, I fussy cut the title and soccer cleat, used three patterned papers, stamped the stencil in Chocolate and then layered texture paste over it for a shiny look (something wet), and added three types of fibers.
And here's the sketch again.
