Short Sleeve T-shirt
First of all, why do we have a picture of chess pieces on the sleeve? Chess is often seen as a metaphor for life because it requires strategic thinking, patience, and a willingness to adapt to changing circumstances. In chess, like in life, every move has consequences, and it is up to the player to make the best possible decision with the information available. Similarly, in athletics, every action has a reaction, and success is often the result of careful planning, discipline, and resilience in the face of adversity.
The quote on the back of the shirt is an excerpt from a larger paragraph written by the American Poet, Charles Bukowski. “If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
The Atlas logo needs no explanation however remember this, Atlas from Greek mythology is a symbol of strength and endurance who was condemned to hold up the weight of the heavens for eternity by Zeus after the war between the Titans and the Olympians. This serves as a metaphor for how each of us is also "condemned" to bear the weight of our own struggles, responsibilities, and search for meaning. Atlas Athletics believes that it's what you do under this weight that defines you, and that the pursuit of self-actualization is an eternal sentence akin to the weight of the heavens.
