Pound 4 Pound Champ
Posted by john | Filed under All, Apparel, Local, Shogun
After having such a good response to our All-Star tee, it was a given that we had to do something special for the next event at Cowboys Stadium. On Saturday, March 13, the Pound for Pound Champ, Manny Pacquiao takes on some guy I’ve never heard of, Joshua Clottey. This one is a little more personal, since we have a lot of friends, family and customers in the Filipino community.
A few ideas were tossed around like illustrations and logo variations. Since our recent release have been more along those lines, I wanted something that was a little more text-based. So from there, it was deciding what to say. Should it be one of his nicknames or something like a quote? If I wanted to keep the graphic bold, it would definitely have to be something short like a nickname.
The first one I tried was ‘National Fist,’ which is his nickname in the Philippines. For what I had in mind for the graphic though, something more recognizable was needed. I ended up going with his most common nickname, ‘Pac Man’. I also felt it was necessary to pay homage to the Filipino community by adding the “sun” on the sleeve.
The letters to his name are drawn in the shape of a boxing glove. To be more specific, it’s a Cleto Reyes glove that Pacquiao uses to fight. Hard punchers prefer these gloves, because they’re stuffed with horse hair, without much padding to them.
The Pacquiao tee will be available this coming Friday, March 5th. Be on the look out for our online store coming soon also!
