In 2024, I was approached by Shaukat, a Malaysian independent professional wrestler, who requested a fresh and updated design for his ring gear.

Theme: Flashy, intricate traditional Malaysian motifs, but not too difficult for seamstress (Ava Broz / @BrozSportsDesigns) to handle.
Colour: Green, black and gold.
Branding assets: “S” and “Name in the form of a Dagger” logos provided.
Requirements:
Top: a low cut/plunge singlet with a t-back cut, with “S” logo at the centre, and filled with Malay motif as I see fit.
Leather gauntlets: matching design, wrists up to forearm.
Bottom: long tights with belt and belt loops, “Name in the form of a Dagger” logo on the sides up to above the knee pads, “S” logo on the rear, design to be filled with Malay motif.
Knee pads: “S” logo on both pads, matching design.
Boots: “S” logo on the outer side, base to be black, gold trims on the top, green trims on the bottom, front and sides to fit Malay motifs.

“The design he made for me was perfect at the first go - however, I had some suggestions to suit my brand image more, and he was very patient with every request, and ended up not only exceeding expectation with the design, but also did it before expected turnaround time. Now I know who to go to whenever I need gear designs!” — Shaukat
