Full protection in heavyweight crewneck form. The Ward Off Evil Oversized Sweatshirt wraps you in substantial 440g/m² warmth while reminding you that the evil—the weakness, the doubt, the excuses—can be rejected.
Oversized fit for layering. Heavyweight fabric for the brutal cold. Design that speaks to everyone fighting their own demons while showing up anyway.
The Design
The Ward Off Evil collection draws on Japanese protective imagery with aggressive Pajer styling.
Front: A small "Pajer" wordmark in death metal typography sits on the chest—the core brand identity in subtle form.
Back: A skull wearing a horned helmet inspired by a traditional Japanese Oni mask dominates the design, with "WARD OFF EVIL" text arching above. Japanese characters 厄除け (yakuyoke, meaning "ward off evil/bad luck") anchor the bottom. The Oni—a demon figure in Japanese folklore known for warding off evil spirits—merges with hockey culture to create protective armor for the battles you face daily.
Availability: Faded Black only | Sizes S-2XL
The Protection Philosophy
Ward Off Evil isn't superstition. It's a psychological stance.
The world wants to break you. Your job wants to break you. The cold, the fatigue, the endless grind—it's all trying to destroy what you've built. The Ward Off Evil design serves as a visual reminder that you have the power to reject the negativity, the weakness, and the excuses that try to creep in.
For some, that evil is external—harsh conditions, difficult people, demanding circumstances. For others, it's internal—self-doubt, lack of motivation, the voice that says it's okay to quit. Either way, warding it off requires conscious effort.
