Future Kimonos is a New Zealand brand that curates combat sports gear collections designed by illustrators and artists worldwide. The MMA and Jiu-Jitsu illustrations concepts are built around the symbolism of the traditional animals used to represent martial arts. The tiger represents the strength and aggressiveness required for Mixed Martial Arts, while the snake represents the suppleness - the ability to bend and be bent - required in Jiu-Jitsu. The combination of the minimalist illustrations and bold serif typography is a celebration of vintage gym apparel design.
