The Birth of a Volleyball Icon: Mo's Story
Back in 2013, a simple idea transformed into something extraordinary.
As a volleyball coach with a passion for both sports and wildlife, I envisioned creating more than just another panda tee shirt - I wanted to build a collection that celebrated volleyball's different positions through nature's most remarkable athletes.
That vision began with Mo, the officiating panda who would become my most beloved character.
- Matching official's authority with panda's natural presence
- Developing unique personality traits
- Creating distinctive visual elements
- Building a character that resonates with officials
The Design Process:
When creating my panda tee shirt design, every detail mattered:
- Black and white naturally reflected referee uniforms
- Gentle yet authoritative expression
- Clear, confident stance
- Distinctive whistle placement
- Signature hand signals
Mo's success inspired an entire lineup of volleyball-playing animals:
- Zeus the Zebra (Left Side Hitter)
- Alli the Alligator (Defensive Specialist)
- Spike the Gorilla (Middle Blocker)
- Ollie the Owl (Opposite Hitter)
- Coco the Koala (Right Side)
- Each character carefully matched to their position's traits
For Officials:
My signature panda tee shirt resonates with those who maintain order on the court:
- Professional yet approachable design
- Comfortable for long tournaments
- Durable for repeated wear
- Available in multiple styles
- Perfect for gift-giving
For Volleyball Enthusiasts:
The collection expanded to include:
- Youth sizes for aspiring officials
- Women's cuts for female refs
- Men's classic fits
- Long sleeve options
- Seasonal variations
Each panda tee shirt represents:
- The heart of volleyball officiating
- Connection between nature and sport
- Importance of authority with kindness
- Pride in officiating excellence
- Unity in volleyball community

I created the signature Volleybragswag ball while working with a designer who originally started out by just creating a word logo.
I thought the word logo by itself was unremarkable and boring.
But a word ball...now that's one of the most interesting volleyball t shirt ideas created for a logo.
The ball is our trademarked logo and appears in all of our Volleybragswag volleyball t shirt ideas and designs in one way or another.
