Strike Athletics: All-American Field Edition

Strike Athletics gathers every year on Memorial Day to do Murph together. These gym shirts were made to carry that moment without making it look like just another event tee.

Overview

Printed on a steel blue tee, the back does most of the talking. "MURPH" spans the full width in heavy distressed stencil lettering with small white stars tucked between the letters, and a trio of red and bright blue stripes runs underneath with "25" in bold white sitting right on top of them. The navy scorpion kettlebell logo for Strike Athletics lands on the front left chest, printed in the same dark navy tone as the back type so everything ties together. The steel blue garment color was a smart move here. It keeps the red, white, and blue palette feeling fresh instead of predictable, and separates these murph tshirts from the usual dark shirt options most gyms go with. The distressed stencil font reads military issue without being heavy handed about it.

Results

The full back placement gives this crossfit shirt real presence whether someone is mid-workout or walking out to the parking lot. The color combination is patriotic without being costume-y, which means people will actually keep wearing it. For a gym called Strike, the scorpion logo on a steel blue tee with stars and stripes on the back is exactly the kind of thing that makes members feel like they belong to something worth showing up for.
