Heated Rivalry Book Lover Shirt Design Details

This Light Blue sweatshirt features a centered chest embroidery measuring approximately 12cm x 8cm. The artwork shows two hockey jerseys angled toward each other in a soft V-shape: a white Rozanov 81 jersey with navy and sport red striping beside a navy Hollander 24 jersey with crisp white and red details. A small solid red heart sits between the collars, creating a quiet romantic accent for Ilya and Shane fans. The design uses 4 thread colors, dense fill stitching for the jersey bodies, satin stitching for the names and numbers, and black outline work for clean definition. This is an original fan-made embroidered design, not official merchandise.
