'As the nights get colder and the leaves start to fall, the spirit of Halloween creeps into everything—including the latest designs at Rubber Bones. This year’s Halloween Collection draws inspiration from the eerie worlds of classic horror comics and the spine-chilling movies that kept us awake at night. But at Rubber Bones, we don’t just take inspiration from the macabre—we bring it to life on the mat, blending horror and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into something both fun and fearsome.
If you’re a BJJ practitioner who loves horror or a fan of bold, nostalgic designs, this collection was made for you. Get ready to roll in spooky style!
From Horror Comics to Rash Guards
When I think back to the comics that inspired me—like Tales from the Crypt—it’s the striking visuals and twisted humor that stand out the most. The grotesque, over-the-top illustrations and bold color palettes were my gateway to storytelling. I wanted to capture that same energy in this Halloween Collection, blending vintage horror aesthetics with the modern feel of contemporary BJJ gear.
Take the Pumpkin Pie Rash Guard, for example. This design features a zombie farmer locking in a triangle choke on a pumpkin-headed scarecrow, ripping chunks of pumpkin from its head and taking a bite. It’s a chaotic mix of horror, humor, and submission grappling—exactly the kind of Halloween twist we love at Rubber Bones.
We’ve kept the color palette true to the roots of horror comics, using deep reds, muted oranges, and vibrant greens, but added a modern touch with more contemporary shades to keep it fresh.
How Horror Meets BJJ
Just like in horror films, there’s a thrill to BJJ—an adrenaline rush that comes when you’re locked in a battle, finding creative ways to escape or dominate. There’s a reason we love watching final fight scenes in slasher movies: they’re unpredictable, intense, and filled with that last-chance sense of survival. In many ways, that’s what Jiu-Jitsu feels like—you're in the moment, making quick decisions that can change the outcome of the match.
The Full Moon Rash Guard brings this idea to life with a werewolf locking in a guillotine choke on a mummy. The full moon behind them casts an ominous glow, highlighting the action just like the final showdown of a horror movie. With deep blues and purples mixed into the design, it blends the ferocity of werewolf films with the technical finesse of BJJ. Plus, it’s made with four-way stretch fabric, so you can roll hard without worrying about durability or flexibility.
Bringing the Halloween Spirit to the Mat
One of the joys of Halloween is being able to embrace the bizarre and the frightening, so we leaned into that with the Halloween Spirit Rash Guard. This design features another scarecrow figure—this time, locking in an armbar. It’s got that classic Halloween vibe, with bold colors that pop and a bit of mischief that ties it all together. It’s designed for those who want to take the spooky season with them onto the mat, combining fright with function.
Like all of our rash guards, it’s built for performance—abrasion-resistant and durable enough to survive even the toughest rolls, so you can wear your horror-inspired gear without worrying about it holding up.
More Tricks (and Treats) for Halloween
In addition to the rash guards, the Halloween Collection also includes some seasonal must-haves. Our Black Corduroy Dad Hat and Black Beanie, both embroidered with the Rubber Bones logo in our signature drip style, add a touch of spooky flair to your everyday wear. And for those cooler autumn nights, the Acid Wash Long Sleeve T-Shirt offers a perfect throwback look with an eerie twist, featuring bold prints that scream Halloween.
And if you love horror as much as we do, you can’t miss our horror-themed stickers. From Frankenstein to goblins and skeletons, these designs bring classic monsters to life in bold, colorful styles, perfect for customizing your gear or just adding a spooky touch to your day.
