# WRSTLG DEPT. — 2026 Style Plans, Round 1

Base DNA to keep: the bold stacked WRSTLG DEPT. wordmark, a city subline (ATLANTA, GA.),
script overlays (Dirty South), sleeve/hem tags, volt green + sky blue as the house accents.
DTF = full color, no plate limits, so photo, halftone, chrome and gradients are all in play.

Influence map (beyond Gallery Dept):
- Gallery Dept — paint, drips, vintage serif arch, "property of" stamps, washed/cracked ink, camo
- Aimé Leon Dore / Kith — collegiate athletic-department, crests, EST. lines
- Chrome Hearts — tonal blackletter, gothic cross
- Cactus Plant Flea Market / Sp5der — puff bubble letters, neon on black
- 90s bootleg rap tees (Vintage Frames, Marino Infantry) — halftone photo + chrome type + tour cities
- Carhartt WIP / Dickies workwear — name patches, woven labels, "shift" language
- Y2K moto (Fox Racing, Thor) — slanted racing wordmark, sponsor bars, big number
- Swiss / Off-White minimalism — huge type, one red accent, lots of air
- Denim Tears — a wreath crest built from the sport's own objects
