The new UFC Conor McGregor shirt has the Reebok brand emblazoned on it, but this one’s a little bit different.
The Reebok UFC line has gotten a bad reputation, and deservedly so. It got off to the worst start possible, with several incredible blunders ruining the launch of the official UFC fight kits.
Aside from shirts displaying absolutely gas names such as “Giblert Melendez” and “Gleison Alves,” the main issue folks had was that every fight kit looked identical. The only thing to differentiate one fighter’s kit from another was the name and the badge signifying what country they represented.
As for the t-shirts, they weren’t much better, and Ireland got burned a couple of times. Firstly, there was the infamous Ireland Map Tee which caused a lot of anger because of the six counties of Northern Ireland being omitted.

Then there was the Conor McGregor jacket.
At least one fan opened up his order to find that the geniuses who designed it used the USA badge instead of the Ireland one.
Hands off, America. ‘The Notorious’ flies the tri-colour!
A disappointed fan just sent me this. Reebok gonna Reebok. Does every jacket have a big USA on the side of it? pic.twitter.com/vCqqkAKHwJ

Yes, all it took was the creative force of BossLogic to produce a Reebok Conor McGregor shirt that’s actually wearable.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with BossLogic’s work, he’s known in MMA circles for producing incredible alternative posters for upcoming UFC events that tend to blow the official ones out of the water.
His two efforts for the upcoming Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor boxing match are prime examples of what the dude is capable of. You can check those out here.
