Description: To commemorate the incredible legacy of my uncle, Larry Holmes, I created this limited edition commemorative sweatshirt.
In collaboration with the Leroy Neiman estate and my friends at Compound Sportswear, this sweatshirt, which was designed by my friend and fellow Wilkes University graduate Jess Gannon (jessgannon.com), was created from the inspiration of my uncle’s storied career.
LIMITED EDITION LARRY HOLMES COMMEMORATIVE APPAREL
Skills: Ideation, Researching, project management, collaboration, Leadership, and Deadline management.
Description: the front of this white hooded sweatshirt displays a custom “holmes” logo (pictured below) with red trim to look exactly like the everlast trunks he wore in each of his 75 fights. Coupled with the logo is a pair of old school style boxing gloves to pay homage to the history of boxing. The back prominently displays Leroy Neiman’s iconic portrait from the Holmes vs Cooney fight combined with the Larry Holmes signature. A subtle, but important, detail of the “Ain’t no stoppin’ us now” lyric from his entrance music completes the design on the left sleeve to commemorate his iconic left jab.
