The Design Process: A Collaboration with Bradley Rea
The creative process behind Bradley Rea’s custom boxing shorts was a true partnership between the Suzi Wong team and Bradley himself. Inspired by his Manchester City blue roots and a heartfelt tribute to his mentor, Ricky Hatton, we embarked on a design that not only represented his personal journey but also resonated with his local fans. The jacket features striking embroidery that commemorates his idol, highlighting our attention to detail and commitment to creating unique pieces that tell a story.
Materials and Style
To achieve the vibrant Manchester City blue and enhance the overall aesthetic, we sourced high-quality fabrics that are both durable and comfortable. These bespoke boxing shorts were engineered for performance, ensuring that Bradley could move freely while radiating confidence in the ring. Our team’s expertise in materials allowed us to balance style with functionality, addressing the crucial needs of a professional boxer competing at a high level.
Techniques and Challenges
Each custom boxing kit designed by our team comes with its own set of challenges. For Bradley’s shorts, we employed advanced embroidery techniques to ensure that the intricate tribute to Ricky Hatton was both visible and tasteful. This required precision and skill from our craftspersons to balance design with practicality, particularly when considering the rigorous conditions of a boxing match. The result is a piece that serves as a functional garment while also being an emotional token of respect.
The Impact of Customisation
Custom boxing shorts like those designed for Bradley Rea not only enhance performance but also make a significant impact on an athlete’s confidence. By walking out to “Blue Moon” at the Coop Live in front of his home fans, Bradley embodied both the pride of his hometown and the spirit of his training. Our bespoke boxing solutions are tailored to elevate the boxing experience, enabling athletes to feel their best as they step into the ring.

Bradley Rea’s exciting journey in the light heavyweight division is just beginning, and we’re thrilled to have played a role in it through our dedicated craftsmanship.
