The print takes the familiar look of washing and care symbols and subtly shifts them towards a music code. Hand wash, ironing symbol, crossed-out wash symbol — everything initially looks like a very serious textile care instruction. Until the 242° appears underneath, and suddenly it all sounds a lot less like a laundry room.

The design works through this small disruption: It looks like a care label but behaves like a band shirt for insiders. Those who recognise the allusion are immediately in the right place. Those who don't at least get a very questionable washing suggestion with surprisingly good graphic posture.

Black keeps the look calm and lets the white symbols stand out clearly. No additional colour, no loud explanation, no decoration. The reduced symbolic language is completely sufficient because that's exactly what the design thrives on: technical sobriety, number code, small cultural disturbance.

The shirt itself remains deliberately uncomplicated: a men's basic T-shirt made of 100% cotton with a regular fit, crew neck, and short sleeves. A solid foundation for a design that cleanly brings together care instructions, club knowledge, and dry humour.

A shirt for people who can read washing symbols — but who still briefly think of bass when they see 242°.
