Take a look at Reebok’s Conor McGregor ‘Legacy Series’ T-Shirt for UFC 246.
Former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor will break his 15-month absence at UFC 246 next week. “The Notorious” is set to face Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in a fight that’s been laid out on the table for several years now.
Of course, a McGregor return is not complete without the hype behind it. For his January 18 comeback, Reebok decided to put out a “Legacy Series” t-shirt, showing what looks like a caricature version of the Irish fighter.

The shirt is priced at $60 and is said to be a collaborative work between McGregor and Reebok. It’s design, however, apparently didn’t attract that many observers.
I think after all these years, the one constant in Reebok shortcomings is they don’t do creative well. They’ve got some stuff that’s simple and clean, but when it comes to creative design, they’re just not good at it.
