201 ACB of Oregon Carolina Blue Hoodie

Donated By Blind Girl Designs, Tricia Waechter

We love our Oregon print! The focus of the colorful print is the sunrise over Mount Hood and the print is 9 inches wide by about 13 inches tall. Please note specifically about this print that if you have sight and are looking at every color, you will notice that the fabric color is coming through many parts of the print. This is because we are a blind centric company, and we want as much tactile input as possible in our prints. In this case, even the lines on Mount Hood are the color of the fabric of the garment. The sunrise over Mount Hood has a halo, and on every different color, the halo has a different color to it because the fabric of the garment is coming through the ink. So, Mount Hood is a beautiful blue and white mountain rising to the sky with a peak and above the peak is a circular sun with a halo around it, as happens during sunrise. Surrounding the sun is the sky filled with peaches and pinks and lilacs, and these are all the beautiful colors that happen at sunrise. In a surprise twist, at the top of the print is an arch, and the statement, “ACB of Oregon Making Change Visible” is the whole of this arch. Each of the letters of each word is the continuation of the color of the sky. Below the mountain, as it goes deeper into blueness is a very pretty lazy river, That meanders down to a valley of fir trees that run across the bottom of the art with the tallest trees on either side and then sliding into the valley in a curve. The bottom of the print of each shirt has a very bold Oregon in it outlined in a peach color that matches the sky. Underneath the word Oregon is the word Oregon in a smoky blue braille. Framing the print on both sides are white canes that run up the entire side of the print. This hooded sweatshirt comes in unisex youth size small through large, adult sizes small through five XL, tall sizes large through three XL. it is a standard pullover hoodie that has a large front pocket and large hood with a drawstring, and it will not shrink if put in a hot dryer. You should wash and dry inside out in order to protect the ink.
