1. The New Day - RIP Brodie

This sentiment comes up a lot in this piece, but it always bears repeating - The New Day's gear designer Jonathan Davenport may have outdone himself yet again.

A beautiful ensemble piece for the trio paid delicate and intricate tribute to the life and career of Jon Huber, aka Brodie Lee/Luke Harper.

Over top of the jacket, there's the white of his Harper vest, the grey Dark Order detailing, the plaid from his red flannel shirt and burgundy Bludgeon Brothers design. Across the back, sides and legs of each man's attire there's at least one photo of Huber from his various incarnations - including a memorable beatdown onto Xavier Woods and - most arresting of all - a silhouette with his two children.

Selecting this show in particular made the gesture as grand as it was timely - his legend will remain further immortalised through their appearance on one of the year's biggest events.
