Warka playing cards

Warka is one of Poland’s oldest breweries, now majority owned by Heineken. According to the only text on the box, Warka is the official sponsor of the Polish national team - presumably the football team, though this is not stated explicitly. All the designs take the form of black and white drawings: the court cards depict unnamed footballers (K), supporters (D & W), and coaches (A), while each numeral card shows a player from behind, with the corresponding number on his shirt. The numeral card designs are the same in each suit. The indices are in Polish – K, D, W, A.  A referee using his whistle or brandishing a red or yellow card appears on each of the three Jokers. The Warka logo can be found on the reverse and also on the box
