Jackson State tee with a distinctive handprint and patriotic colors—a bold statement of pride and heritage founded in 1877.
The story behind this design
A black tee featuring a striking open handprint in the center, rendered in shades of red, green, and blue. The palm glows in bright green, fingers outlined in red with textured fill. Surrounding the hand in a circular banner, white text reads 'It's in my DNA,' and below, 'Jackson State Founded 1877' completes the design. The patriotic palette and strong geometric composition convey pride and legacy. The handprint is both personal—suggesting individual identity—and communal, speaking to a shared heritage and institutional pride that runs deep.
Who it's for
This shirt resonates with alumni and students building their futures, families connected to the institution's mission and history, and anyone celebrating African American excellence and tradition. It's a powerful gift for graduation, homecoming weekends, or anyone seeking meaningful representation in their everyday wardrobe. Wearers often want a tee that tells their story and honors what shaped them.
