The Hockey Tee Middle Earth S/S (Burgundy) embodies the dark, uncompromising visual identity that has made Hockey one of the most influential brands in modern skateboarding. Printed on a rich burgundy short-sleeve tee, the design combines medieval-inspired typography with unsettling black-and-white artwork, creating a graphic that feels equally at home in skateboarding, underground art, and punk culture. It's the kind of shirt that stands out through atmosphere and attitude rather than bright colors or flashy branding.
The front graphic is dominated by the iconic HOCKEY logo rendered in a sharp Gothic typeface across the chest. Beneath the logo sits a two-panel illustration printed in high-contrast black and white. The artwork resembles a vintage woodcut or dark fantasy engraving, featuring distorted faces, shadowy figures, and chaotic imagery that invites closer inspection. One panel appears to focus on a weathered face emerging from darkness, while the adjacent scene presents a surreal collection of forms and textures that blend horror, fantasy, and abstract storytelling. Fine linework, heavy shadows, and intricate details give the graphic depth and texture while reinforcing the raw visual language that Hockey has become known for.
The deep burgundy body color serves as the perfect backdrop for the monochromatic artwork, allowing the white ink and intricate illustration to stand out without overwhelming the garment. The result is a shirt that feels timeless, wearable, and unmistakably tied to skateboarding's more artistic and rebellious side. Whether layered during cooler evenings or worn on its own during a long session, the colorway offers versatility while maintaining a distinctive look.
Hockey was founded by skateboarding legends Jason Dill and Anthony Van Engelen, who helped establish the brand as a creative extension of their unique perspective on skateboarding. Known for its gritty videos, powerful team roster, and uncompromising artistic direction, Hockey has built a reputation for producing products that feel authentic to the streets rather than manufactured for trends. Every release carries the same sense of individuality and creative freedom that has defined the brand since its inception.
The Hockey Tee Middle Earth S/S (Burgundy) fits naturally into everyday skateboarding life, whether you're pushing through downtown Monrovia, meeting friends at a park in Pasadena, filming clips around Covina, or heading out for a late-night session anywhere throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Its combination of dark artwork, premium presentation, and skateboarding heritage makes it an easy choice for skaters who appreciate graphics with personality and depth.
