I Had Potential Design Details

This design is a precise, high-quality replica of the viral movie garment. We use premium #FFFFFF Optic White thread on a stark black garment to achieve maximum contrast and a clinical, scientific aesthetic. The text “I HAD POTENTIAL” is rendered in a crisp, bold, all-caps sans-serif font, measuring approximately 20cm x 10cm. Directly below the text, a clean geometric line graph curves upward before abruptly leveling into a horizontal flat line, terminating in a hollow circle—the universal symbol for burnout and lost kinetic energy.
