Topspin Mascot Plush

One of my dreams for this year's tournament was to launch a unique product that had never been done before. Back in 2019, I redesigned the iconic Topspin Mascot from the historic Washington Kastles franchise and proudly introduced it to a new audience as the vibrant mascot for first the Citi Open and then the renamed Mubadala Citi DC Open tennis tournament. I envisioned creating a plush toy, just like many top sports organizations do for their mascots, so that kids and fans could take home a piece of the excitement.

After two years of relentless dedication, collaborating with numerous vendors, and meticulously working through countless sample iterations and quality checks, I have finally achieved a product that exceeds my expectations. The result is a plush toy crafted with the highest quality materials, featuring vibrant colors, and impeccably detailed logo embellishments. I ensured it was a substantial size to exude value and make a lasting impression.

To make this plush truly special, I designed a custom product box that enhances its collectability and display appeal. The box is adorned with tournament branding and features imagery of the stadium, creating the illusion that Topspin is on center court, right in the heart of the action. As a nod to Washington, D.C., I included a modern lined flag design that wraps around the bottom of the box, and a brief history blurb about our beloved mascot on the side.

This plush toy is more than just a souvenir; it's a tangible memory of the Mubadala Citi DC Open, a piece of the tournament that fans of all ages can cherish for years to come. I am thrilled to share this labor of love with you all and can't wait for you to experience the joy of bringing Topspin home!
