Trophy Hunting x Golden State Valkyries Collaboration

Valkyries x Trophy Hunting®

In the latest Trophy Hunting News, we recently released a 8 pc capsule of apparel and hats for the Golden State Valkyries. Since it’s their first season, we were super hyped to be given the opportunity to carry our imprint on Bay Area sports. Especially for me. 

““My connection and upbringing in
the Bay Area was utilized in making sure that we equally represented the team’s dual home cities of Oakland and San Francisco. We infused that Bay Area heritage first, and then grounded the collection with the Trophy Hunting aesthetic.””

— DUSTIN O. CANALIN

 We wanted the Valkyries capsule to capture the energy of a new team while staying true to the Bay, pulling from Trophy Hunting’s common themes of  varsity heritage. 

Kari Cruz and I built this collection under Trophy Hunting® to feel timeless and aspirational. We pulled in Oakland’s  flower the Chrysanthemum as a nod to the Town. 

The response was amazing. Everything sold out quickly. Seeing it sell out instantly and hearing from so many people about how much they connected with it is truly the best part of design. Look for more from us and the Valkyries. Go Valks!

DOC® X LPGA FOR THE FM CHAMPIONSHIP 2025

LPGA and I Collaborate on Exclusive Product Drop at the FM Championship, August 28, 2025

I’m excited to announce my collaboration with the LPGA on an exclusive product release debuting at the FM Championship at TPC Boston on August 28, 2025.

I created a Golf hat, 2 Unisex Tees and 2 Kids Tees.

My goal is always to bring fun into sports. For this event, I designed the “Lady Lobster” mascot to celebrate the Northeast and give fans a unique souvenir that captures their tournament experience. The capsule was only available at the event in at TPC Boston.

More to come from me and the LPGA. Stay tuned!

The Art of A T-Shirt

All of the DOC®  T-shirts are hand drawn by me. I've always been inspired by the time before computers, when design was created entirely by human. Throughout my career I've used every tool available, but I’ve always been gravitated to executions that had the character of a brushstroke or the uniqueness of human error. So now as the "AI artwork" generation has begun, I feel even more motivated to create and craft my own artwork by hand for all of my T-shirts. 

WNBA All-Star '25 Recap

Sabrina Ionescu reclaimed her 3-point crown with a 30-point final round, one of the highest in contest history. Napheesa Collier dropped a record 36 points in 19 minutes to win MVP and lead Team Collier to a 151–131 win, with Skylar Diggins recording the first triple double in All-Star history. The Stud Budz, Courtney Williams and Natisha Heidemann, took over social media with a 72-hour behind-the-scenes livestream that became the breakout hit of the weekend.

New Trophy Hunting Summer '25 Collection

For Summer 2025, We tapped into the essences of Northeast beach life. Nantucket lifestyle to golf courses in the Hamptons. We wanted to create a feeling of ease and understated polish. This collection continues to evolve our elevated essentials through a sports culture lens.

The Patchwork Madras Game Changer shorts and Golf Jersey are my favorite 2 pieces.

The golf polo mixes a baseball jersey fit and styling with a preppy sublimated madras print. The beach (or bunker) sand toned hoodie with cut-and-sew detailing inspired by shoreline textures.

The graphic tees are all hand illustrated and every piece is built to feel lived in.

Dedicated to our summer lifestyle. Living free without the noise. a timeless, sporty, and designed to elevate your summer wardrobe withought sacrificing comfort.

Did Kith & Wilson Just Copy Trophy Hunting’s 2022 Concept? - A Design Perspective & Code of Ethics By Dustin O. Canalin

The design community is small.

And as a Designer I know that we all spend hours researching, lurking, gate-keeping… basically knowing what’s going on.

“I see everything.”

So to call this a coincidence or a form of flattery, would be a disservice to the credibility & “talent” it takes for one to get an opportunity to create, present and have the design/concept approved for a brand like Wislson & Kith.

I’m just making sure you know that

“I SEE YOU”

and I hope that you support my brand and creative output before plagerizing it, taking credit and celebrating work you stole.

Do Better.

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.
