A visual look at Indy Eleven’s past three seasons by Soc Takes staff photojournalist Robbie Mehling is here, and just in time for the holidays.

“Smoke and Streamers” is now available for purchase at Blurb.com for $30. The photobook contains 90-plus pages of high-resolution images shot at Indy Eleven matches from the beginning of the 2018 season through the end of the 2020 campaign.

Mehling, based in Muncie, Ind., joined Soc Takes ahead of the 2018 season, Indy’s first in the USL Championship. It was also Indy’s first season playing at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis.

Since then, Mehling has chronicled the team’s highs and lows as his work regularly features at SocTakes.com and elsewhere in the soccer-sphere.

To help combat food insecurity in the communities of Muncie and Indianapolis, 40% of all proceeds from the photobook will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana and Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana.

Treat yourself to a copy of “Smoke and Streamers” today, or grab one as a gift for the Indy Eleven or USL Championship fan in your life.
