Ganador

Olorun L’Oba

Designed by Uduakabasi ‘Uddy’ Akpan

Congratulations Uduakabasi Akpan, from Nigeria, the designer of Olorun L’Oba. As the winner of this year’s design competition, Uddy will receive:

  • 5 helmets featuring the winning design
  • The opportunity to work with the Ruroc Design Team to prepare it for production
  • Credit as the designer as part of the launch
In the designer’s words

Olorun L’Oba features the use of iconic African/Nigerian symbols, carefully positioned in different areas of the Ruroc helmet and held together by the rich Adire pattern and texture. Each symbol has a meaning rooted in African Adinkra history. The largest symbol, in black with the white and red outline, signifies “God is King”, while the three symbols in gold signify “Courage, Beauty and Excellence”. An ode to “Built to Protect. Designed to Embolden”. The mock-up tells the rest.

Segundo clasificado

Oni Dragon

Designed by Muadh Suhail

Congratulations to Muadh Suhail, the designer of Oni Dragon, who made it all the way to the final and was the Ruroc Motorcycle Gang’s next most popular helmet! Muadh will receive:

  • 1 Ruroc helmet of their choice from current stock
  • A one-time 50% discount code
In the designer’s words

I kinda love the art of Japanese demons. The front of the helmet shows the aggressive look of the teeth and the tongue. As in the Japanese legends of dragons, the horns are shown on both sides. The hair represents the look of a human, and for the background I used Arabic calligraphy to give the design a more artistic style.
