Hawthorne House Secret Society Chess Sweatshirt Design Details
This design is machine embroidered at a bold 25cm x 18cm center-chest size, giving the artwork a polished statement look rather than a tiny logo feel. The layout features five classic chess silhouettes—rook, queen, king, bishop, and knight—stitched in solid white thread across a deep navy garment. Above the chess line, the Latin phrase “EST UNUS EX NOBIS” arches in a sharp serif style, balanced below by “NOS DEFENDAT EIUS.” The monochrome palette keeps the piece crisp, collegiate, and dramatic, perfect for dark academia clothing lovers who want a bookish sweatshirt with strategy, secrecy, and symbolism built into every stitch. This is an original fan-made embroidered design, not official merchandise.
