When it comes to briefs, real men keep it real simple.
SAXX UNDERWEAR CO.
Saxx makes super comfy, high-quality performance underwear for men. The company was growing fast through word of mouth, and SAXX was moving decisively into higher-end retailers. But the visual identity wasn't strategically aligned with the new audiences. In fact, Saxx felt more like a local startup than the national contender they were becoming. They needed a new brand that held appeal to every audience they were reaching now. Plus, SAXX needed to justify its $30 price tag with substance, not padding.
The common denominator for all groups was a strong sense of manhood. And for real men, simplicity is always best. Thus, the new SAXX brand has an industrial feel and a timeless, rugged simplicity – with just enough refinement to convey real quality. This ensured elements that every audience could embrace were knit right into the brand.

Now that's a nice package

city. Thus, it served all of the profiles buying SAXX,
