You wrote: "But from Kamal's context/input, there are other possibilities too." Yes, and that was exactly the problem. My point was (from the very first post here) that the context he provided was inadequate and the way he posed the question was misleading.
Well I suggested both, that it could be on the jacket but that I thought the doodlebombing was on magazine pages from the context provided at the time. The asker seems to think it is on the pages too, so I am not sure why my answer is declined, especially when four others agreed with it...
Doodlebombing (or xxxbombing) means you alter the original item without consent (prior agreement). The jackets in question are sold by Adidas, after they contracted with this artist to use some of her drawings on prints on the material. This is by design, by agreement, and all jackets look the same. She is not doodlebombing the jackets. If you look at her website (http://www.hattiestewart.com/work/), you can see her doodlebombs: magazine covers. In the "About" section of her website, you can read this: "In recent years her notoriety has increased due to a personal project titled 'doodle-bombing' where she draws over the covers of influential publications such as Interview, Vogue, i:D and Playboy. " Anyway, what she doodle-bombs really doesn't change what it means, the only reason I felt pointing out the actual context is that it seemed that some of the answerers were thinking it was about the jackets, whether they looked like newspaper-print, etc. That's all.
I fail to see why it cannot mean that she doodlebombs (a term she apparently coined herself) other things too, and not just photos or magazine covers. But Kamal has the context.
The jacket is not being doodlebombed. "doodlebombing" refers to her art activities, as it is clear in the actual sentence where the word is used. Doodlebombing is really just a made-up word, to sound like photobombing, where someone ruins a photo shot by jumping in it or placing an object in the camera's view, usually without the knowledge of people who are in the picture. What she is dooding is pretty much good old doodling, just like we did as kids, on magazine pages - have you ever drawn a mustache on a woman's picture, for example, or make someone look like a pirate with an eyepatch and missing tooth? I did. ;-) She is doing exactly that, except with digital tools. She takes magazine's front covers and doodles on them, then publishes them as her art.
In that case I would suggest that the artist is known for writing or drawing all over magazine pages, not too dissimilar to my initial response and suspicion that it may refer to the magazine itself rather than the clothing. Thank you for providing the context Katalin.
The question is misleading. The source text is here: https://shop.adidas.ae/en/bomber-jacket/DV2666.html The sentence provides information about the artist, with whom Adidas collaborated to create this bomber jacket. The jacket is plain black, except for a pair of googly eyes on the back that she drew. The inside lining is a "cartoon camouflage print", which is not shown in the picture, but I believe the pants she is wearing are the same pattern. But again, the "doodlebombing" has nothing to do with how the jacket looks. Here is the website of Hattie Stewart, the artist the sentence is referring to: http://www.hattiestewart.com/about/ A sample of her doodlebombs are here, click on "Doodlebombs" in the upper right corner: http://www.hattiestewart.com/work/

writing or drawing all over
Explanation: Doodle bombing just refers to drawing pictures and patterns or putting text all over something. When used on magazine covers for impact, the doodle bombing is often over a plain background or model, rather than on the clothes. In this case, I think it is likely that there is a model wearing a sports jacket with a doodle bombing style background around them to make the magazine cover stand out more. However, it could be an all over print sports jacket. (Think newspaper print clothing with text all over or busy design fabrics with interesting patterns).
