I like the bricks in this design because they kind of remind me of Tetris, and even though its pretty simple I think that the colours work well. Whilst it isn’t exactly an OMG!1! amazing hoodie, it does have a certain understated quality, especially with the subtle accents like the yellow piping around the hood, and the green hood lining pulling the whole piece together. Not sure if I’m too fond of the LRG logo on the back though…

If you get the point of this sweater before you read the blurb then congratulations to you, you are far smarter than I am.

“Back in the day the letter A began as a pictogram illustrating the head and horns of an Ox.

The Phoenicians wrote right to left writing the A sideways as it was quicker. The Greeks generally wrote left to right, so turned the A around.There was a point way back when a system was used called ‘Boustrophedon’ which translates ‘as the Ox ploughs’ so first A went left to right, second A right to left, and so on.

Around 500 BC writing became standardized and letters stopped changing direction. The Ox finally settled on its horns.”

Pretty darned clever design, right guys?
