The shirt needed personality without becoming messy, and it had to balance playful team energy with a design coworkers could still wear comfortably.

Typography carried the concept: a bold lockup, restrained visual grit, and a simple print layout made the artwork easy to reproduce and easy to rally around.

A compact apparel identity that gave the team a shared look and a stronger sense of presence.

Deliverables

Custom team logotype, T-shirt design, apparel mockups, print-ready vector artwork

Creative Direction

A one-shirt job for a workplace softball team, built to walk the line between cheeky and office-appropriate. The direction leans into typography and a bit of visual grit rather than a mascot or illustration — the team name carries the whole design.

Field Notes

Not every project needs six systems and a gallery — sometimes the job is one shirt, one team, one afternoon of type experiments, done well enough that people actually want to wear it off the field.
