Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “Hasbulla” guy all over the internet, right? He’s that mini-Khabib, the little dude with a ton of personality. And I kept seeing pictures of him in different sports jerseys. I thought, “I gotta get in on this, I need a Hasbulla jersey!” So, my quest began.
The Hunt Begins
First, I hit up all the usual spots. you know, I looked on every sports apparel website, and checked out every online marketplace, I even braved the depths of custom jersey shops online, but nothing. Nada. Zilch. It was like nobody had even thought of making a Hasbulla jersey. I guess not everyone’s as obsessed as I am.
DIY Time
So, plan B: I was gonna have to make this thing myself. I figured, how hard could it be? (Famous last words, right?) I ordered a plain white jersey online – youth size, obviously, because, well, Hasbulla. I also grabbed some fabric markers and some iron-on transfer paper.
The Creative Process (aka Controlled Chaos)
This is where things got… interesting. I spent a good hour just trying to find a decent picture of Hasbulla to use. I finally found one of him in a boxing pose, which I thought was perfect. I printed that out onto the transfer paper, and after a minor battle with my iron (it definitely has a mind of its own), I managed to get the image onto the front of the jersey.
Next up: the name and number. I went with “HASBULLA” on the back, obviously, and the number “1” because, let’s face it, he’s number one in our hearts. I used the fabric markers for this, and let me tell you, my handwriting is not suited for jersey design. It looked a little…rustic, let’s say. But hey, it added to the charm, right?
The Final Product
It is done. it’s not perfect, not even close. The iron-on transfer is a little crooked, the lettering is shaky, and I’m pretty sure I’ll never get the smell of burnt fabric out of my apartment. But you know what? It’s my Hasbulla jersey, and I love it. I wear it with pride, even if it does get me some strange looks sometimes.
So it all worked out, And now, every time when I wear it, it reminds me, that I made my own dreams come true.
