Technical Specifications

The Story Behind

The foundation of this design traces back to January 15, 1908, on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. It was there that Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, alongside eight other visionary coeds in Minor Hall, initiated a movement that would forever change the landscape of collegiate sisterhood. They sought to create a support network for Black women in higher education, fostering academic excellence and community enrichment. By incorporating the iconic “1908” and the signature salmon pink and apple green color palette, this garment honors those nine original trailblazers and the generations of women who have since crossed the burning sands to uphold their sacred mission.

Every element of this graphic print carries profound meaning, serving as a visual representation of lifelong commitment and sisterly love. The bold “Always Pink Forever Green” typography acts as a declaration of an unbreakable bond that transcends time and geography. The crisp, high-definition print captures the exact shades of salmon pink and apple green, ensuring your affiliation is recognizable from across any crowded room. This design speaks directly to the heart of every soror, reminding you of the day you received your ivy leaf and pledged your talents to the betterment of society.

Care and Maintenance Guide

To preserve the vivid colors and structural integrity of your premium ring-spun cotton garment, always wash it inside out in cold water with like colors. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners that can break down the water-based inks used in the graphic print. Tumble dry on a low-heat setting, or opt for line drying to maintain the original fit and prevent any unwanted shrinkage. If ironing is necessary, turn the shirt inside out and use a low heat setting, making sure never to apply direct heat to the printed design area.

This garment offers an exceptionally soft hand-feel, thanks to the combed and ring-spun cotton fibers that remove impurities and short threads before spinning. Weighing in at a comfortable 4.2 ounces, the fabric provides a lightweight, breathable drape that moves naturally with your body without feeling stiff or heavy. Side-seamed construction ensures the shirt retains its retail-ready silhouette over time, resisting the twisting and stretching common in lesser-quality tubular tees. It feels broken-in from the very first wear, offering a smooth surface that feels gentle against sensitive skin.
