High Visibility Neon Yellow Wicking Tank for Proud Texans
About the Strong Athletic Texan Performance Racerback
Do you have Texas pride? Of course you do! Most Texans do! Are you an Athletic Texan? Do you find it hard to image a single day in which you aren't moving or doing something outside? If so, this tank top is you. We designed this tank to acknowledge our Texas roots and to celebrate being strong and athletic.
The words Strong Athletic Texan are printed inside of an image of the state of Texas on the front of the tank and the Strong Athletic logo is printed inside of the state of Texas on the back of the tank. We wanted to print an athletic shirt that was in a bright neon yellow so that it's easier for people to see you while you're doing your favorite outdoor activity. Our founder, Nadia Kean has been a rower for the majority of her life. On the water while rowing it's so important to wear high viz colors so that other boat traffic can see you. Her partner is an avid runner, and the same goes for when running outside on roads and sidewalks- it's so important to be seen by people driving cars to reduce the chance of injury while running close to busy roads. The same theory goes for cycling, walking, street skating, or any other activity where you need to make sure you're easily seen by other people. Thank goodness for bright, neon colors and this perfect athletic tank top.
The Strong Athletic logo was designed by Angel Ortega of Garzig Design. This tank was printed in a small batch, at a small locally owned shop in Houston, Texas.
We know that there are a few companies that make awesome shirts with great slogans and sayings across the front. One thing we notice is that our shirts are usually about $5-$10 more expensive than the other shirts on the market. Ever wonder why there is such a price difference? There's a good chance that some of those companies are simply producing more shirts, faster, and so their overhead costs are lower. We can't speak for them and how they set their prices, but we can speak for ourselves. At Strong Athletic, we only use small-scale screen printers and the garments that we print on are always made in either W.A.R.P. Certified facilities or other facilities that meet CPSIA standards. We also pay all of our contract employees a pay rate that is in line with living wage standards. The majority of our shirts are associated with a non-profit and we donate a portion of profits (sometimes 100% of profits) to causes that hold dear. We believe that when products are cheap, someone is losing out on income. We don't want those people to be anyone involved in our supply chain or who work for Strong Athletic on a daily basis.
People either buy Strong Athletic for theirselves or for their friends. Because our shirts, hats and fanny packs are so often sent to people as gifts, we decided that we wanted to make the experience of opening a Strong Athletic package feel like you're opening a gift. When your package from Strong Athletic arrives, you'll immediately notice that the kraft mailer is biodegradable and that it's covered in our removable signature "We Believe" sticker. Opening the package you will find your shirt, wrapped in a "You are so Strong" wrapper. In addition to whatever you purchased you'll also find a few of our signature logo stickers and a smaller "We Believe" sticker, plus a postcard with the origin story of our company hand written to the recipient of the package. If you're sending this as a gift to a friend, you can have us include a hand-written message and we'll sign your name for you. Just write out what you want written on the notes in the comment section of the cart.
