Pac Attack!
As you may already know, we here at the Shogun camp are HUGE Pacquiao fans! So huge, we even designed a tee dedicated to the man! We were lucky enough to get to attend both Pacquiao and Clottey workouts earlier this week. Special shout outs to DJ Danny West for the hookup!
On another note, our Pac-Man tees are almost all gone! Good news is that we will be getting a small restock of tees this Saturday for the Pre-Fight Party. This time it will be in a limited blue colorway. So if you didn’t have a chance to scoop up your Pac-Man tee…this will be your chance!

Pound 4 Pound Champ
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!

When we decided to make a shirt commemorating the All-Star game in Dallas, only one player came to mind… Dirk Nowitzki. Let’s check out his credentials.
- 9 time All-Star
- 9 time All-NBA Team
- 2007 MVP
- Only 1 of 5 players in NBA history to average + 25ppg and + 10rpg in the NBA playoffs
- Dallas Mavericks’ all-time leader in points, rebounds, field goals, field goal attempts, 3-pointers, 3-point attempts, free throws, and free-throw attempts.
Yeah, that’s a pretty long list. It’s amazing that he achieved all this despite everything working against him. He was drafted out of high school from Germany. The Mavericks were widely criticized for drafting Nowitzki and passing on Paul Pierce. He was labeled as the next person in a line of white guys with no skill such as Eric Montross, Cherokee Parks and Shawn Bradley. For years his nick name was Irk – because he had no D.
Pretty soon though, the Mavericks developed into a winning team. With Michael Finley and Steve Nash, they would go on to be a playoff contender year in and year out. After the loss of the aforementioned players, Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas to it’s only NBA Finals appearance in 2006.

FFB x Hope x Shogun
We all have read and heard about Fur Face Boy’s latest blog post. I remember reading this story last year and I also felt really bad for the victim and her family. My first thoughts were ” how could someone do this to another human being” I too was angered and felt really upset. When I read FFB’s post this morning I immediately emailed Ha and the rest of the Shogun guys, we all said that it would be good for us to join together and help raise money for this girl and her family. We decided collectively as a group, that 50% of FFB sales at Shogun this month will be donated to the girl and her family to help with the expensive medical expenses that they have inherited. We will also match dollar for dollar the money that we raise for this cause.
So if your in the shop and you see a FFB shirt that you like go ahead and get it…the profit made for the shirt is going to a good cause…I know I will be purchasing a couple shirts myself!
