Black History Month is right around the corner, and in the spirit of celebration, 12 Indiana Pacers split into groups as part of a challenge: to see who could come up with the best T-shirt BHM designs.
Pacers players designed T-shirts for Black History Month, and they’re great
We would buy these.
There were four groups of Pacers who took part in the challenge, and they each came up with interesting and thoughtful designs. Fans are currently voting for their favorite design, and shirt that gets the most votes will be sold in the Pacers’ team store for the month of February.
Here are the shirts the groups came up with:
Oladipo and Anigbogu teamed up to put together a dope design with an excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1964. And some of the prominent black figures in history are highlighted on the front of the shirt, too.
Lance Stephenson, Darren Collison, T.J. Leaf, and Joe Young
Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the words “An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” from behind bars as part of a letter he wrote in jail in April 1963. He was arrested and jailed for his involvement in nonviolent protests in Birmingham.
Collison, Leaf, Stephenson, and Young took that well-known King quote and put it on a silhouette of a man walking away from a group with one arm held high. In that hand, he has a globe.
Corey Joseph, Domantas Sabonis, and Thaddeus Young
The Joseph-Sabonis-Thad Young trio came up with a shirt that reads “Freedom is never given, it’s won” on the front with interlocking black and white hands underneath. That’s pretty straightforward and a solid attempt at promoting unity.
And Bogdanovic, Jefferson, and Sumner put together a classic logo celebrating Black History Month.
