After fire leveled Detroit in 1805, Father Gabriel Richard offered the words that became the city’s motto: Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus. “We hope for better things; it shall rise from the ashes.”
More than two centuries later, it still fits. Detroit has been counted out more times than anyone can remember, and it keeps coming back. This design is for everyone who carries that same grit: the builders, the dreamers, and the ones who never left.
Printed on a heavyweight premium pullover in navy, it’s soft enough to live in and made to wear with pride, whether you’re in the D or repping it from far away.
100% cotton face
65% ring-spun cotton, 35% polyester
Front pouch pocket
3-panel hood with matching flat drawstrings
Self-fabric patch on the back
Fit note: This hoodie runs small. Order one size up for your usual fit.
