Emma the Boxer

Emma is a Lompoc boxer with her eyes on the Olympics, and we got to print the shirts that back her up. Gear for a hometown athlete on her way up — that's the kind of job we clear the table for.

Screen printing was the right call here: bold art, soft hand, built for fight nights and training days alike. When a design needs big color on a tee, ink beats thread — we lay out the honest trade-offs in print vs. embroidery.

We proof every print the same way we proof every stitch-out — on the actual garment, checked in hand before the run. A shirt that represents an athlete has to be as sharp as she is.

This one took a village, the way Lompoc does: Pryzm Performance and the Lompoc Boxing Club putting in the work with local athletes, and Savory and Sweet Eats hosting a great event with delicious food. We're proud to print for a town that shows up for its own.

If you're an athlete, a club, or a corner of the Central Coast building something, we'd love to print the shirts you build it in. Send us the art — we'll take it from there.
