Godzilla Strikes
I drew inspiration from the cultural phenomenon of Godzilla. Embedded deeply in Japan's media, Godzilla has become a powerful symbol that has evolved alongside the nation itself. Originally a representation of fear, the creature has transformed into a heroic figure, mirroring Japan’s own journey of resilience and reinvention.

Turning to Cinema
I wanted to incorporate elements of Godzilla’s story without leaning too heavily into literal representation. The breakthrough came when I focused on Godzilla’s path of destruction from the first cinematic representation. This key moment inspired a striking design detail, a jagged line through the middle. The addition serves as both a nod to the character’s legacy and a defining feature of the jersey’s design.
