2. Chelsea 20-21 Broken Wall Stickers (George Perry)

Hard to believe that less than a year ago we could have just about anything on our walls—faded Cheryl Tiegs posters, throw rugs to cover up the water stains, newspaper clippings from that time you were in the background of the photos of your roommate getting arrested for drunk and disorderly—without it reflecting on our professional reputation or our personal brand. But with much of the work and school day spent on Zoom, what’s behind us sends as much of a message as the mostly clean shirt we’re wearing over our gym shorts during a conference call.

Get your virtual conferees to perk up and take notice with your choice of a Chelsea player broken wall sticker.

“Alright, so let’s dig into our sales figures from last mon- … Whoa! Mike, is Christian Pulisic busting through your wall?” “He sure is!” “Well, let’s hope he doesn’t reinjure his hamstring in the process!” (collegial chortling ensues).

“Our digital director owes us some serious answers about why our app crashed during the peak shopping season.” “Well, I’d love to, but as you can see (points over shoulder), Olivier Giroud just came in unannounced.” “Ooh la la, don’t let us interrupt! Send us your report later … in the morning later.”

Ironically, the player most likely (on current form) to cause serious structural damage to a residence or commercial building—Danny Drinkwater—does not have a broken wall poster on the Chelsea Megastore. Maybe in this year of attenuated humor, some things just hit a little too close to home. And, as an aside, doesn’t it look like a Manchester City bedspread in the product page for the Pulisic broken wall sticker?
