In-between preparing for his highly anticipated fight later this month, UFC Middleweight Champion, Dricus du Plessis, has partnered with Checkers to launch two locally produced products for sports enthusiasts and fans. 

The Stillknocks shirt by Old School – a true collector’s item 

Dricus' apparel brand, Stillknocks, and popular South African sports supporter gear brand, Old School, have produced a limited-edition supporter shirt. 

Famed for bringing back the 80s and 90s style vintage rugby shirts that Mzansi loves, Old School has designed a one-of-a-kind collared V-neck shirt featuring a Stillknocks badge with his initials, DDP, and the champs’ signature on the label.  

This collector's item is available at R599.99 exclusively through Checkers Sixty60 on Thursday 8 August only, and in selected stores from Friday 9 August while limited stocks last. 

Visit www.sixty60.co.za/stillknocks.html for more information, including the list of areas where the shirt will be available.
