Trashtalk Golf Tees By DOC®

For my latest project, I went back to my design roots in basketball trashtalk and reimagined it through the lens of golf. I’ve always prioritized innovation in design—and sometimes, innovation comes from merging two worlds that don’t traditionally go together. In this case, I saw an opportunity to bring the bold graphic language of basketball into the golf space. So for the first time ever, I’m introducing trashtalk golf tees.

With more people from basketball backgrounds now picking up the game, it felt like the perfect moment to connect both cultures. I used to see golf as having a negative stigma—an exclusive community where I didn’t quite belong. But the game has evolved, and so have I. This collection reflects my own personal journey.

““Growing up, golf always felt exclusive. I never saw myself in it,” says Canalin. “But the game is evolving, and I wanted to create something for people like me—those raised in basketball who now have a passion for golf.””

Trophy Hunting® x Milwaukee Bucks

This collaboration was a long time coming. Originally slated to drop last year, it was delayed until the start of this season. But with the Bucks fresh off their mid-season tournament trophy win and heading into the All-Star break with momentum, the timing couldn’t be better for Trophy Hunting®(see what I did there).

My connection with the Bucks began over a decade ago, thanks to my late friend Rob Stone, who brought me on to work on a new identity pitch for the the team. We didn’t win the project (Thanks to to my talented friend Kimou Meyer &  Doubleday & Cartwright). But learning more about the franchise left an impact.

Later, during my time at Nike, I had the privilege of creating and launching Giannis Antetokounmpo’s first signature Nike apparel line. That opportunity allowed me to spend time at the Bucks’ facility, meet the team, and see firsthand the excellence behind the organization. It’s an honor to be connected to such a top-tier franchise in so many ways.

The Trophy Hunting® x Bucks In Six collection celebrates the team’s rich design history.

Kari Cruz and I dove deep into their story, researching every detail to craft a collection that blends modern sophistication with a vintage soul. From Robert Indiana’s iconic MECCA court to the purple and green uniforms of Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson and Vin Baker, the Bucks’ visual identity has always stood out.

Each piece honors the legacy and appreciation for design. We really hope the fans like what we’ve made for them. Thank you to the Bucks and everyone involved in bringing this vision to life. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for what’s next.

The collection goes on sale Sunday January 19th at the Bucks Pro Shop at Fiserv Forum. Small qtys will be available online as well.

The Bay Makes the World Takes - Part 2

“The Bay Makes, The World Takes” is an ongoing  art series that pays  tribute to the Bay Area’s profound influence on culture.

From art and design to music and entertainment, the Bay Area’s contributions are woven into the fabric of contemporary culture. This project is a tribute to those who continue to represent the Bay, while simultaneously inspiring the world with their vision and spirit.

I’ve learned so much from where I grew up. The Bay has taught me how creativity is a form of competition, how to hustle to be your own boss, and how to be unapologetically yourself.

The Coliseum Tee By DOC®

Commemorating the end of an era, this T-shirt pays tribute to the final game at the Oakland Coliseum after 56 years of Oakland pro baseball. As the last chapter in the departure of three iconic major league teams from Oakland, this design captures the heartache and pride of The Town that’s seen the Raiders, Warriors, and now [Sell the Team] leave their storied home. Strike 3. We’re out.

Check out the details up close. Long Live the Coliseum.

New Release: "The Bay Makes The World Takes” By DOC® for Oaklandish

"The Bay Makes The World Takes” By DOC® for Oaklandish available at 10am PST / 1pm EST @ Link in bio.

This 7-piece capsule pays homage to my roots as a designer, artist, and Bay Area native celebrating The Bay’s global influence.

The Bay has historically thrived by embracing its uniqueness and fostering local talent. Our validation often originates within our communities first, not through external opinion.

But when Too $hort moved to Atlanta and the Raiders left The Town for L.A., the notion of having to leave the Bay for ‘better opportunities’ was first planted in my mind. Up until that point, I was surrounded by the culture and passion of landmark moments like the A’s winning the World Series, the 49ers dominating football, and Run TMC performing in front of the livest NBA audiences.

So when I too, chose to ‘leave the Bay’ and pursue my dream of becoming a designer, it put back into focus what I had actually left behind. I saw the uniqueness of my influences and upbringing as an asset. My surroundings instilled a particular kind of grit, hustle, and underdog mentality in me. I’ve carried this mentality and inspiration everywhere I go.

This capsule celebrates those who spread Bay Area culture wherever they arrive. Unlike teams that leave the Bay— when locals leave ‘The Town’, they forever carry its essence within them.
