This tee is part of our "international" edition in which all proceeds will go to fund our future Youth Academy efforts.

We chose Arabic for 2017 based the political climate and the fact that Kingston, NY is a city that embodies that spirit of “wherever you’re from, you’re welcome here."  In 2018, we chose Russian firstly in celebration of the 2018 World Cup (but I suppose you could also say it's a nod to *this year's* political climate.
