National Grappling League

Project Type

Apparel Design

Location

Tauranga, New Zealand

Role

Lead Designer

This apparel design for the National Grappling League blends performance styling with a subtle nod to New Zealand identity. The uniform features a custom fern-inspired pattern woven into the fabric design, adding movement, depth, and a sense of national pride without overpowering the athletic silhouette. The result is a strong, modern look that feels competitive, cohesive, and uniquely NGL.
