Skateboarding tee with a bold message about choosing skate over negativity—a funny, directional statement for the skate and activist communities.
The story behind this design
A sharp, two-part message in chunky sans-serif type against a black tee. 'LESS HATE' appears in white text, with an arrow pointing downward, and 'MORE SKATE' sits below in white, with an arrow pointing upward. The wordplay is smart and visual—it's literally pointing you away from negativity and toward the board. The distressed texture and stark black-and-white palette give it an underground, almost protest-poster quality. It's part humor, part manifesto: a wearable reminder that skating and positive energy beat out cynicism. The design is confident without being preachy, cheeky without being silly.
Who it's for
Skaters with a sense of humor and a positive worldview will gravitate toward this. Perfect for giving to someone going through a tough time (the message lands), a friend who lives and breathes skateboarding, or anyone in creative communities who appreciates design with a message. It works for skate meets, casual wear, and anyone wanting to wear their values on their sleeve—literally.
