The Workout

Most murph shirts show you who you're doing it for. This one also shows you exactly what you're in for. No surprises on Memorial Day.

Overview

The front layers a washed sketch portrait over a brushstroke flag built entirely from vertical teal strokes, with the full workout written out in small type to the right: 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 air squats, 1 mile run. A dotted outline year marker sits mid right and MURPH runs across the bottom in a fragmented stencil style font. Everything is printed in a muted teal and grey palette directly on a steel blue tee, making the whole graphic feel like it belongs to the shirt rather than sitting on top of it. The gym logo lands at the upper back neck in the same tone on tone treatment.

Results

Printing the actual workout on the shirt is a detail that lands differently for people who have done it. It is not decoration, it is a reminder. The tonal palette keeps it from being loud while the stencil type and fragmented lettering give it a worn in, utilitarian feel that suits the day. As gym shirts go this is one of the more honest murph tshirts out there.
