- Regular price€29,00

The essentials: the official logo of the series, alone, on one line: ROCKY in capitals, with the arms-raised figure in place of the O. No portrait, no setting. 9 colourways. Premium cotton 180 gsm, crew neck, heat transfer print. 7 sizes S to 4XL, €29, free shipping.
Five letters, one of them replaced by a man. That is the whole artwork.
The logo that holds the film
Rocky was released in 1976, written by Sylvester Stallone when he was unknown, and won Best Picture at the Academy Awards. The series now runs to nine films, spin-offs included.
Its engine is not victory but going the distance: the character is not trying to win, he is trying to still be standing at the final bell.
That is exactly what the arms-raised figure set into the logo says — a man who lasted, not a man who won. It has appeared on posters and covers since the 1980s.
What it looks like on
An entirely typographic print, on one line, centred high on the chest.
ROCKY in heavy serif capitals, in textured lettering — the letters are eaten away by vertical gaps, like a worn screen print. The arms-raised figure fills the O, reversed out.
One ink, no portrait, no date, no subtitle.
It is the quietest Rocky model, and the one with the widest choice: nine colourways, from black to sage green.
Premium cotton, crew neck, short sleeves, straight cut. Plain back.

The figure of the character with arms raised, reversed out in place of the letter. It is the official logo of the series, used on posters and covers since the 1980s.
What does going the distance mean in Rocky?
Lasting all the scheduled rounds without being stopped. It is the engine of the first film: the character is not trying to win, he is trying to still be standing at the final bell. The arms-raised figure says a man who lasted, not a man who won.

1976. The screenplay was written by Sylvester Stallone, then an unknown actor. The film won Best Picture and launched a run of nine films, spin-offs included.
Which colourways are available?
