🔹Description: 

This paired custom Heated Rivalry fore-edge set was designed around the tension and movement of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov on the ice, with character physical appearance reflecting the TV series. One edition features Shane dominating the lower half in a dynamic skating slide while Ilya appears above, poised to shoot. For the other edition, the same composition was reversed, placing Ilya on top and Shane below to create a coordinated but distinct companion design. The top and bottom edges continue the hockey theme with bold jersey-style HOLLANDER and ROZANOV lettering.
