Celebrating the Apollo Program T-Shirt
This patch is my tribute to Apollo Program in general and Apollo 17 specifically. Apollo 17 was the launch my Dad and I were invited to and it will always be a cherished memory.
The figure is inspired by the Apollo Belvedere statue in Rome. I re-imagined him pointing the way to the future, towards Mars, instead of holding a bow, and instead of wearing a quiver, a strap with Roman numerals stitched on it, representing all the Apollo missions, starting with Apollo 7.
An Apollo/NASA emblem pin holds the tunic around the neck of Apollo; a tunic made into an American flag. The design was created around the time of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, inspired by the runners taking a victory lap with their national flag around their shoulders.
The three prominent stars above Apollo’s left arm pay tribute to the Apollo 1 crew; the two white/silver stars for Grissom and White because they were Air Force and one gold star for Chaffee since he was Navy. The other stars represent the Apollo astronauts that flew with the larger gold stars dedicated to the moon walkers. The six lunar landing sites are marked on the Moon.
I depict Apollo directing the American Eagle forward towards the future.

I give wanted to give this a 4 instead of a 5 because these Basic DARK T0shirts run unexpectedly SLIM or Narrow. Which is great if you do not have a potbelly, but I have a paunch. It isn't the shirt's fault that I've got a beer belly. The design and shirt itself is a quality cotton shirt. The color is more of a deep purple, but still a very pretty color. The Basic DARK T-shirts run a bit SLIMMER than the Basic Ts. The neck is a fraction narrower (or seems to be narrower) also. I'm a paunchy middle-aged woman and my neck is 12 inches (31cm) thick and the neckline fell about the same as in the photo of the man, and I had the desire to tug it a bit. So if you're a thick necked man or like loose shirts, be aware these are slimmer shirts. Once I get rid of my lockdown paunch it'll look great. The shirt washed well in cold water with no apparent bleeding. We don't have a dryer, so it hung dry. Did not shrink. Love the colors and the design. The design looks smaller on my shirt than it does on the model on-line. But still, it looks good on the shirt. The printing looks as it does on the model, just the size seems fractionally smaller. Washed garment in cold water, hung dry and design appeared unaffected.

I'm wearing this as I type... It's fab! Lovely quality. Soft material, perfect fit, nice and warm (It is very cold here, I live at the top of a hill and the wind is brutal in winter). Couldn't be happier with this. My Girlfriend really likes it as well - always a bonus! I was really impressed by how the printing turned out - my photo's don't do it justice. This is a complex design with a lot of colour variations but the finished article is really impressive. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out. This is also one of my first designs to have been purchased by someone else (thank you so much!) I'm really curious to know what they think of the finished product...
