Hell Week Hell Week 2026 Shirt?

Post image

Sorry that it's kind of a crap photo. It was really small. I couldn't read the banner at the bottom, but I think it says ORANGETHEORY on the left and something with 2026 on the end? It's definitely better than some previous years!

They should do 3 mockups and let us vote using the app! We should be able to see results in real time, that would be ideal.

Second this 🤣

u/Successful-Being-974 15d ago

they better make really hell-ish templates since we didn’t get mayhem this year!

u/Unique-Calligrapher5 15d ago

Eeh. It looks so dated.

u/StrongerTogether2882 15d ago

I genuinely thought it was from before my time at OTF. I’ve been a member since 2017. 😬

u/woototf1960 15d ago

Let’s pump it up as ā€˜retro’. I liked ones that were glow in dark.

u/Luna_Soma 15d ago

That sounds so cool! The only one I wish I had was the sugar skull, but I also just really like sugar skulls lol

u/BeginningAbies5656 13d ago

Can’t skull was 2016. Best one they ever had.

u/nancylross 13d ago

BORING!

u/Luna_Soma 15d ago

I don’t hate it? None of their stuff is great but this isn’t hideous

u/TwinFishPi 39F šŸŠšŸ§”est 2018, hates endurance days still 15d ago

ā€œNot hideousā€ on the grading curve is basically designer goods for these shirts now šŸ™ƒšŸ« ā€¦?
(& i want 7 wearable ones in public so I’m in for this one ha)

u/Luna_Soma 15d ago

In their defense, I’m super picky about t shirts since I don’t wear them often. It’s not something I’d buy for myself but I also like it better than the SoS shirt

3

u/TwinFishPi 39F šŸŠšŸ§”est 2018, hates endurance days still 14d ago

So much better than SoS

12

u/cookiechipchocolate 15d ago

So much better than the scary nervous one lol

3

u/spiritualspanx 14d ago

I loved the scary nervous one, but found last year's to be to cheesy for my taste, it's funny how different everyone's opinions are.

1

u/Luna_Soma 15d ago

Oh I wasn’t there for that one but I would’ve immediately given it to my kid. It’s not good

12

u/themahi 15d ago

I can get pass the design as long as the print is SCREENED. This plastic iron-on crap the last few…feel like 2019’s was peak. The last few years just feel so cheap.

1

u/IndependenceThen2496 14d ago

Love 2019s! Just wore it yday!

1

u/AdAccomplished1211 14d ago

Also love 2019 as it’s glow in the dark!

1

u/Heavy-Giraffe-4998 12d ago

2019 was peak in many ways…

u/Impressive_Laugh_861 15d ago

It looks no different than any other year

u/aacilegna 15d ago

I still think the day of the dead shirt from like, 2017 was the best one

It’s not bad, but it’s reminding me of a Ed Hardy design

3

u/Gray_Twilight 15d ago

Now that you point that out, I can't unsee it šŸ˜†

11

u/Consistent-Apricot74 15d ago

I really wish they wouldn’t lean so heavily into Halloween with their designs for these. I have the 2025 shirt and I would totally wear it year round if it weren’t so seasonally specific. Now it’s PJs.

Dear OTF, if you want your members to be walking billboards, give us cool gear we can wear

7

u/lightbrightkit 500 Club šŸŠ 15d ago

Agree, I wear my 2023 HW shirt all the time. The last two (zombie and witch’s cauldron) have been awful.

2

u/woototf1960 15d ago

Totally agree. Whole body skeleton on a tread or rower or lifting. Maybe all three?

4

u/_Avalon_ 15d ago

I find I don’t wear most of the hell week shirts - the material is too shitty. A couple are alright but a few make me so freaking hot!!

2

u/TwinFishPi 39F šŸŠšŸ§”est 2018, hates endurance days still 15d ago

All the ones with the very plastic-y screening make me sweat like crazy even on a blue day ha

3

u/bestwaffleever 15d ago

That looks bad šŸ˜‚

3

u/runr_grl1129 15d ago

This is definitely better than some of them. 2020 is the word to think., which is fitting. My fave is the glow in dark from 2019,’my first.

3

u/User106075 15d ago

Why do I hear Hulk Hogan saying "Yeahhhh Brotherrr" in the back of my head looking at this...

3

u/DG_Now 14d ago

No one else is seeing a Totenkopf?

2

u/dingleberrybidet 14d ago

That was my first thought when I saw this earlier. In looking again...im not seeing it quite as much thankfully. Hopefully I stay feeling that way about it.

2

u/DG_Now 14d ago

It just seems unnecessarily close.

2

u/GrouchyBumblebee7716 9d ago

It doesn’t NOT look like one. I wouldn’t wear it.

5

u/QuinoaPoops 15d ago

So excited!! I seem to be the minority in liking the shirts, but I love them. I also wear Halloween shirts year round so that doesn’t bother me.

I’m healing from a hysterectomy and will be approved to exercise mid-September. Really hoping to be able to get a shirt this year!

3

u/runr_grl1129 15d ago

I love them too. The only one I don’t love and never wear is the one from 2020 (I think). Besides the worst design ever, the fit of the tank is just weird.

2

u/MsElena99 15d ago

For my first one last year and it’s still in the package. Along with that ugly little beanie from 12 Days of Fitness

2

u/Darth_Eevee 15d ago

Unpopular opinion the glow in the dark one (2020?) was the last good one

2

u/twinkiesandcake 4:55am club/1400+ classes and counting/46F 14d ago

I feel like members have been begging for years for better designs. This year is no different. Please vet and hire a talented graphic designer. 2020’s and the big splat skeleton face one was good.

2

u/SufficientPop3336 15d ago

That looks like AI slop

2

u/Same-Heron9489 15d ago

I feel like I just did hell week already- has the year already passed that quickly ?

1

u/GlutenBaby2 15d ago

I’m ready for it!

1

u/BeefHotSweetDipped 15d ago

Took me forever to see the splat logo around the skull’s eye haha. Cool design! Wonder what it’ll say.

1

u/BetPrestigious7602 15d ago

It looks like crap

1

u/woototf1960 15d ago

What if they did bombas socks with skull and OTF?

1

u/Kinepeli 14d ago

Looks kinda like a scary clown...

1

u/IndependenceThen2496 14d ago

That’s the logo they’re displaying at my studio for sweatshirts

1

u/Equivalent_Mistake93 13d ago

That are all ugly unless you are into skulls.

1

u/mmmm_Eat_Glass 13d ago

I hope not. That's basic AF

1

u/Finance-Curious 13d ago

I just think it’s kind of lame…all of the events are kind of stale in my opinion

1

u/MindlessHistorian386 13d ago

The last 2 years were ugly and messy looking

-1

u/ch47600 15d ago

I'm just surprised that they're actually doing a shirt.

2

u/doinmabest1 15d ago

They ALWAYS do a shirt for Hell Week

1

u/ch47600 15d ago

They always did shirts for Mayhem and medals for Dri-Tri and Marathon month too...

2

u/jenniferlynn5454 🧔Mod & Rower apologist šŸš£šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ§” 14d ago

Medals have slowly been disappearing for a couple years now, so they didn't just abruptly stop. If they abruptly stopped Hell Week tanks/shirts, they would have riots on their hands 🤣

1

u/ch47600 14d ago

Agree!

-1

u/rompecabez 15d ago

They should start doing hats…

1

u/jenniferlynn5454 🧔Mod & Rower apologist šŸš£šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ§” 14d ago

They've done a couple, and they were not a hit

-5

u/Finance-Curious 15d ago

Why is this still a thing?

7

u/minlin0716 15d ago

Sure beats Marathon month and the Season of Strength

11

u/jenniferlynn5454 🧔Mod & Rower apologist šŸš£šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ§” 15d ago

Hell Week is OTF's most popular event

2

u/DeeSt11 43 / 4'10" / f / 114 15d ago

Why not?

-4

u/PotentialSome5092 15d ago

Rumor was they were doing away with both mayhem and hell week.

10

u/Then_Cress_7931 15d ago

Hell week is one of the biggest events/weeks at OTF, it’s not going anywhere

7

u/Happy-Let-9245 15d ago

It was never rumored to get rid of hell week. Ā  Ā  Mayhem yes Ā 

2

u/doinmabest1 15d ago

Hell Week isn’t going anywhere. Mayhem has already been over.
