Barbados: The N.B.A. - Tommie Edition
National. Black. Activist.
"Pride and Industry" meets the movement. We reimagined the league's most famous silhouette with history's most powerful protest.
The Design
This design replaces the standard league logo with the silhouette of Tommie Smith's 1968 salute. The background is flooded with the Flag of Barbados—the Ultramarine Blue and Gold representing the sea, sky, and sand, centered by the Broken Trident, symbolizing the break from colonial rule and the independence of the people.

Quality & Variations
The Print: This version features a high-quality, durable Digital Print (DTG) that captures the deep blues and vibrant gold of the flag perfectly.

The History
Tommie Smith & John Carlos peacefully protested against racial injustice after winning at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. The raised, black-gloved fist remains a timeless symbol of solidarity. By wearing this, you honor the sacrifice made to speak truth to power.
Every garment is made to order. For any custom requests, we will not proceed until you have seen and approved a digital mock-up via email. We'll work together to make sure it's perfect.
I hope you feel empowered when you wear my designs!
