Believe Your Eyes Minnesota Flag | T-Shirt, Sweatshirt or Hoodie
This Believe Your Eyes design reflects a moment when Minnesotans captured powerful video evidence that contradicted official narratives about federal immigration enforcement — including the fatal shootings in Minneapolis that have driven ongoing protest and resistance. The Minnesota flag is superimposed with an inverted “in dire distress” USA flag, symbolizing that urgency and the demand for truth and accountability. These pieces are for people who stand with Minnesota, who trust what their eyes have seen, and who refuse to let power rewrite reality. It also makes a meaningful gift for folks showing up for justice, truth, and community support. ❄️❄️ I am a Minnesota-based designer and I am sharing proceeds of this purchase with local teachers who are supplying students and former students' families with needed supplies: food, diapers, rides, etc. I used to work in the school system here and that's where my connections are and my passion lies. ❄️❄️
👕 ABOUT THE HOODIE
This unisex heavy blend hooded sweatshirt by Gildan is relaxation itself. Made with a thick blend of cotton and polyester, it feels plush, soft and warm, a perfect choice for any cold day. In the front, the spacious kangaroo pocket adds daily practicality while the hood's drawstring is the same color as the base sweater for extra style points. Knitted in one piece using tubular knit, it reduces fabric waste and makes the garment more attractive.

🌸 DESIGN INFORMATION
All designs are created in my home state of Minnesota, USA. While the blank garment may occasionally be sourced from outside the country and include a “made in” tag, your finished piece supports my small USA-based business and my trusted printing partners. Please note that the original garment tag may sometimes be removed to make way for Calm & Blue branding. If you’d prefer the original tag left on, just let me know at the time of purchase.
The printing process used is DTG (Direct to Garment), where ink is sprayed directly into the fabric. This method is different from vinyl or heat-press applications and is often described as having a softer, more “vintage” look.
Every effort has been made to accurately represent both garment and design colors in the listing, though colors may vary slightly due to different screen displays. Listing photos may include a faint watermark to protect my work — this will not appear on your finished product.
📪 SHIPPING
Products are shipped after 2-5 business days in production. Please allow for 7-14 business days from the time of order to your door. Shipping time nearer the holidays may be longer. A NOTE ON SHIPPING: This product is made especially for you, which is why it takes a bit longer to get to you than the big-name online stores. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, and prevents waste – so thank you for contributing to a greener world and making thoughtful purchasing decisions.
