Jiu-jitsu tee with 'Coffee Then Jiu Jitsu' text in retro colors and a gi illustration—made for grapplers who fuel their day and their training.
The story behind this design
Clean, straightforward typography and illustration combine to capture the pre-dawn ritual of serious grapplers. The word 'Coffee' appears in warm cream-gold at top, followed by coffee-bean illustrations, then a teal-colored gi jacket rendered in simple, bold lines, and finally 'Jiu Jitsu' completing the sequence below. The layout reads like a simple equation or morning routine, and the color palette—warm cream against the teal gi—feels both retro and contemporary. There's no irony here, just honesty: this is what the day looks like for someone committed to the sport. The illustration style is minimal and clean, avoiding clutter while making the subject instantly recognizable. It's the kind of design that gets worn by people who actually live this routine, not aspirationally, but as fact.
Who it's for
Dedicated jiu-jitsu practitioners who train multiple times a week and live by their morning coffee and mat time, early-morning grapplers, and anyone whose identity is genuinely tied to the sport and the discipline it requires. Perfect gift for a training partner, coach, or that friend who schedules their entire day around class times and takes both coffee and grappling seriously.
