RUO Wear storefront home page: CRUSH. Every day. headline beside a model in a CRUSH Research ringer tee

Overview

RUO Wear makes everyday tees and embroidered caps. Everyday, your way. The first drop is CRUSH Research: classic and ringer tees at $20, Flexfit and trucker caps at $25.

Approach

I designed the RUO Wear brand and logo, the apparel graphics, and the Shopify storefront at ruowear.com. The wordmark is heavy and wide, with a globe set inside the O. The CRUSH Research graphics take familiar references: a striped orange, gold and navy wordmark on the tees, embroidered on the caps. The store keeps it simple: a warm off-white page, big type, and every tee and cap shoppable from the home page.
