Rooney 250

On Saturday, Wayne Rooney made history by scoring his 250th goal for Manchester United, becoming the all-time top scorer for the club. His stunning free-kick moved him ahead of Sir Bobby Charlton to break a record that had lasted for 44 years. No mean feat.

As the ball hit the back of the net, Nike unveiled a gigantic mesh banner covering the entire front facade of Hotel Football besides Old Trafford, to celebrate the record-breaking moment.

The artwork visualised the iconic ‘Rooooney’ chant, spelling out the Nike athlete’s name with 250 ‘o’s – one for every goal he’d scored.

The moment was captured by Getty, with a shot later tweeted by Rooney himself.

W+K - Naked Playlist 06

2016 was the year of the filter bubble. Twitter and Instagram were no longer showing posts in chronological order. Our Facebook News Feed filtered out everything except the things it wanted us to read. But it isn’t just social media platforms that use filters. All of us filter and edit our posts before putting on social media to make ourselves look cool. We don’t tell real stories anymore.

However, 2017 has started. New year, new you. Let’s show your real self once again, it’s not a bad thing.

What about starting with sharing your music playlist, an unfiltered and uncoolified version of what you listen to? It’s still January, it’s never too late to start. Naked Playlist will strip off your musical inhibitions and expose your most-listened Spotify tracks. You can share your #nofilter playlist with your friends once your Naked Playlist is created.

Be proud of all your music, be honest.
