Two colors and nothing else. Mohawk Gasoline built its mark out of red and black on white, with a profile portrait rendered in hard flat shapes rather than shading — the kind of reduction that only works when the drawing underneath it is good enough to survive being simplified.
Printed on a Gildan 18500 heavy blend hooded sweatshirt — 8 oz cotton-poly, classic fit, double-lined hood with a color-matched drawcord and a front pouch pocket. Tubular knit with no side seams. Tear-away label. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
The portrait breaks the white inner ring and runs into the red band at the top and bottom, which is a deliberate compositional choice and a difficult one to execute in porcelain enamel where every color boundary is a separate firing. Most sign designers of the era kept their imagery safely inside the ring. Mohawk let it break the frame.
The perfect gift for the collector who appreciates a two-color mark done right, the designer who notices a portrait breaking a frame, the restorer with a wall of red enamel, the dad who likes his signage loud, and anyone who wants a graphic that reads at any distance.
