Heated Rivalry Shirt Design Details
This navy blue quarter-zip sweatshirt features dense machine embroidery across the chest and sleeve. The front design measures approximately 10cm x 8cm and shows a loon bird illustration stitched in white, black, and silver grey thread, with the fandom phrase “stupid canadian wolf bird” in a clean serif style beneath it. The lower sleeve design measures approximately 5cm x 5cm, with crossed hockey sticks, red and blue tape accents, and the jersey numbers 24 and 81 stitched in cardinal red and royal blue. The result is a polished bookish sweatshirt with a sporty, winter-rink feel rather than generic fan art. This is an original fan-made embroidered design, not official merchandise.
