Each Summer Holme Pierrepont
Running Club host a Grand Prix consisting of four running races of varying
lengths over 2 weeks. On completion of all four races each runner gets to take
home the latest technical running top and for the past nine years The New Fat have
sponsored this great local event by designing the fabulous t-shirts.
Over the years we have seen a wide variety in
designs and styles. In the early days the t-shirts were kept plain, simply
featuring the HPRC logo. In recent years the shirts have taken on a whole new
life featuring bold designs and strong colours.
2014s t-shirt saw the embrace of a vibrant
lime green perfect for catching attention when out for a run. Featuring the silhouette
of a runner crossing a finish line, this t-shirt has great impact and captures
the essence of the race. Bright colours are always a brilliant choice for
running shirts and strong colours are definitely a ‘running’ theme amongst The
New Fat designs.
2015s t-shirt utilised a bright yellow and
red combination. Everyone is after a PB in these races so we used ‘time’ as the inspiration for this year. Using a stopwatch graphic which created
the perfect space for the HPRC logo, drawing attention to each of the race
statistics placed around the outside. A clean, simple and effective design.
2016s t-shirt adopted a purple and yellow
colour scheme. Utilising an infographic approach with strong typography. Four stripes
represent the varying lengths of each race, combining this energising graphic
with tilted bold blocky fonts makes this t-shirt even more dynamic.
It’s great to see so many runners out and
about sporting our all our t-shirts.
This year The New Fat will be designing the
t-shirt for the 2017 Holme Pierrepont Grand Prix so watch this space!
