Let’s build a better world with a better brand.
This is more than a tee-shirt design. This is heritage on fabric. This is culture in motion.We are pledging half of the sales revenue from this tee-shirt to “A Better Nigeria Through Tennis,” a tennis clinic that will be hosted by AJ Tennis Academy International, our sister nonprofit foundation, in Nigeria, in November 2025. The academy will host over 1,000 children and adults at this clinic, providing coaching, training, drills, tennis instructions, rackets, balls, shirts, hats, and other tennis equipment.
Specs & Features
Engineered for the court and gym, this tee-shirt blends high-performance features with a comfortable feel. The fabric is a durable mix of polyester and cotton, creating a shirt that's not only built to last but also enhances your game, your time in the gym, or your walk around town. The sturdy construction ensures it holds up to the most intense rallies or workout, while the athletic fit allows for a full range of motion without any restriction. This tee-shirt is designed to perform under pressure, giving you the confidence to focus on getting results, not your gear.
Beyond its performance features, this tee is a pleasure to wear. The material has a smooth, soft feel against your skin, providing all-day comfort whether you're playing a match, at the gym, or just relaxing. Its quick-drying properties keep you feeling fresh and dry, even on the hottest days, wicking away sweat to prevent discomfort. Combining durability, performance, and a luxurious feel, this is more than just a sports tee-shirt—it's a key part of your athletic arsenal.
Meaningful Design
The uniquely designed (in collaboration with a local Nigerian-based artist) “ball” on a court on the back of the tee-shirt combines three elements of the three major cultures of Nigeria, Nsibidi (Igbo / Eastern Nigeria), Adire (Yoruba / Western Nigeria), and Arewa (Hausa / Northern Nigeria) to form a cultural trinity, united in one modern emblem. It’s not just a pattern. It’s a statement: that Nigeria’s diverse stories can coexist, complement, and power something greater.
