Keeping History Alive Through the Stories We Wear
Our America 250 graphic designs were created to honor the semi-quincentennial event of 2026. We print these designs on hoodies, sweatshirts, and t-shirts using a direct to garment technique popular in the world of print on demand. This ink process penetrates the fabric creating a long lasting design.
At TrueLight, we have around 30 patriotic graphic designs we created. In this post, you will see how we are attempting to keep history alive through stories we can wear. One infamous story is the Crossing of the Delaware.
George Washington is portrayed in an 1851 painting by Emanuel Leutze crossing the Delaware. We took a public domain version and converted it into a line drawing and emphasized the Battle of Trenton fought just hours after crossing.
By creating designs like this, we give our audience the chance to keep history alive by wearing the story of a particular moment in time. Moments that were gravely important and pivotal to the success of the continental army fighting against a superior military force. Each colony had their own set of stories to tell outlining their roll in the American Revolution. TrueLight Designs simply picked one major story point from all thirteen and put it on apparel you can wear.
Below are several more designs including the Great Seal of the United States and Charlestown Townies the home of the Battle of Bunker Hill – where I grew up! It’s amazing the history we grew up around: Bunker Hill Monument which I walked passed every day to go to school, the Charlestown Museum, the U.S.S Constitution which we went on many times (including sneaking on one summer as a kid,lol!). Let’s say the navy soldier on patrol was not happy.
That’s a townie for yah!
