The mark is a compressed, angular 480 that reads as much like a sigil as a number. It sits small on the chest, large on the leg, and holds at either size because the strokes are cut at a single angle.
The garment graphics are all line: a helmet drawn in one weight and broken so it wraps the side seam of the tee, and a pair of gorillas squared off across the front of the shorts. A second colourway drops the contrast to a tonal print on black.
A block of text about the battle is set small at the hem. It gives the capsule its name and does the explaining, so the graphics do not have to.
