Estili in Lyon
Materials
Fine Art Prints
Premium archival matte fine art paper, 200–230 gsm. Smooth, bright white surface with an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. Printed with archival inks for accurate color and high-contrast reproduction. FSC-certified sustainable paper.
Framed Prints
Solid wood frame, roughly 0.875″ wide, available in light, black, or white. Protected by shatterproof optical-grade acrylic — lighter and safer than glass, and it ships without risk of breakage. Dry-mounted to foam core with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire installed, ready to hang out of the box.
Production
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
Hamid Estili wheeling away after the goal, drawn in flat comic-book colour against the Iranian tricolour. He is in the red number 9 shirt with IRAN across the chest, mouth open, one fist clenched, and a jagged yellow starburst behind him carries گل! — gol, goal — in heavy blue letters.
- Bold flat colour with hard blue outlines, no shading anywhere
- The 1998 Iran shirt with IRAN and the number 9
- گل! in a red and yellow comic burst filling the left of the square
- Three flat bands of green, white and red behind the figure
- Square format with the figure running out toward the corner
Lyon, 21 June 1998. Estili headed Iran in front in the fortieth minute, Mahdavikia made it two late on, and Iran won 2–1 — the country's first ever World Cup victory, and against the United States, which is why it is still the most politically loaded ninety minutes in the tournament's history. Before kick-off the Iranian players handed white roses to the Americans and the two teams posed together for a single photograph. That is the part people outside Iran usually remember; the goal is the part Iranians remember.
