I designed competition-ready shorts for Loyola Club Volleyball that fuse place and identity. A subtle, asymmetric texture runs down the leg that faces the lake when you’re looking toward downtown—a quiet nod to Chicago’s shoreline. A claw-mark motif references our mascot, paired with city stars and two minimalist trophy icons marking our wins. The pocket carries a small “2× National Champs” inscription, keeping the narrative understated yet unmistakable.
