CHIEF. COLLABORATION ARCHIVE

Built on
other
people’s mats.

One of the things we believe about jiu-jitsu is that you can’t do it alone, and the same is true of our partnerships. Through collaboration, we build a wider network and deeper experience, carry our brand into new places, and most importantly, help our partners step onto the mats with full confidence in a rash guard built to the highest standard. That’s why we put everything we have into every single design.

50+ Projects.
Each one sharpened how we communicate and collaborate, and helped us build a strong, worldwide network of partnerships

Best design, best quality: wherever a valuable partner calls, we bring our best to build something unique

Robert Degle
Rose Edition

Robert Degle came to us wanting a rash guard for competition, so every detail carries something personal. A rose sits over the chest as a tribute to his mother. Both sleeves carry the flags of the nationality and hometown that matter most to him, along with a date that holds personal meaning. The back carries a Bible verse he chose himself, with his name written in Hangul beneath it, a nod to the Korean spirit behind the design.

KAJJC

Designed for a Korean community based in the United States, so we leaned into details that speak to that identity and built their logo from scratch. An eagle for America and a tiger for Korea face the same direction, standing for what KAJJC stands for.

Mint Hill

The colorway leans straight into the gym's name. To keep an all-mint design from feeling flat, we added white accents along the side for a sharper, more finished look.

A short sleeve tee order. Red is the brand's core color, so we paired it with white to let it stand out clearly. Built to hold up as a team tee that staff can wear too, without losing any of the design quality.

Team ROOT

The gym's logo was the most important element for Team ROOT, so we kept it front and center in a simplified, globally-minded form. The boomerang shape, the crest's most distinctive detail, repeats across the piece as a running pattern.

Arkain
Grappling

Barbed wire and lightning wrap the piece, built in a dark purple that Arkain wanted to carry a specific feeling: the sense of wire slowly closing in on an opponent on the mats. The pattern runs continuously from the lower front, up both sleeves, and across the back of the neck. We also redesigned the academy's own logo to complete the piece.

Overlimit

The design draws on the pride of Japan's national football jersey, with fine detail kept just thick enough to print cleanly. The academy didn't have a high-quality logo file to work from, so we rebuilt their crest from scratch to raise the overall design quality.

The design channels the fear of coming face to face with a shark in open water, and the dark, layered tones of the deep sea itself. A tonal grey camo carries the shark bite graphic from chest to back, framed by a crest patch that carries the team name front and center.
