CLIENT: CrossFit Boro (GA)
PURPOSE: Create a graphic for a shirt to honor Lt. Michael "Murph" Murphy
APPLICATION: T-Shirts/Pullovers/Singlets (Tank Tops)

When CrossFit Boro reached out to us we were thrilled to work with them again. When they asked us to come up with a "Murph" design for a Memorial Day event they were planning, we were even more ecstatic. Lt. Michael Murphy is extremely well known in the CrossFit Community and among U.S. military enthusiasts. A Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Lt. Michael Murphy is widely regarded as an American hero for his accomplishment and leadership during the war in Afghanistan.

As a result, both the Military and CrossFit communities perform a "Hero Workout" (typically on Memorial Day) in his honor. It is a particularly grueling workout, yet if you ask many US servicemen or those who were fortunate to know "Murph" personally they'll say: "this wasn't a 'Hero workout' or an 'epic workout,' [for Murph] this was a Wednesday. He never stopped, didn't take breaks..."

For thee graphic, we wanted to pay homage to both Murph's service and military status, as well as incorporate the workout named in his honor. We incorporated anchor, trident, and eagle icons in recognition of the Navy Seal emblem

Copy of The Workout

Here we included the workout standards and movements. The workout begins with a 1 mile run, followed by: 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another 1 mile run.

Copy of Coordinates

Here we included the anchor and trident which are prominent symbols in the Navy Seal emblem. We also included the coordinates of CrossFit Boro in standard longitude and latitude fashion to further play off the military theme

Copy of "THE PROTECTOR"

Arguably Michael Murphy's most well known nickname was "Murph 'The Protector'." We wanted to be sure to include this somehow into the final design
