My inspiration comes from the shaka (hawaiian) hand signal, which has been adopted in popular culture for - “I’ll call you” or “call me”. For the Telkom competition I wanted to use the hand sign as a symbol of “we belong to an exclusive yet inclusive club” It’s up to you. Also that land lines are still cool.
Nice to see one of your designs on a T!

South African Heritage Day is just around the corner!
Get ready to come together and share this special day with your friends and family in style.
On the 24th of September South Africans from all walks of life come together to celebrate our amazing country and the people that make it the greatest country in Africa! :)
I have lined up a fewawesome Springleap.com t-shirt designs that will get you in the spirit and make you the center of attention at your Heritage Day gathering!
This is undoubtedly one of the most perfectly executed
concepts I have ever seen on Springleap.com, South African inspired or otherwise! This is so supremely striking. The colors and iconic face of Mandela instantly attract your attention…and keep it fixed.
Whenever I write about local designs I feel compelled to include this…I’m pretty sure you can see why, hehe!
Esepowenis by Wolfox is yet another design that is impossible to exclude from our list!
This slightlycontroversial piece uses parody of the mega popular Simpsons family to create a unique glimpse into South African society. Now some might see this as a negative design, but in all honesty being able to see realities of life and adapt them into a humorous design is vital in a nation like ours. If we can’t laugh at ourselves then we have a real problem on our hands!
The color and composition is superb! eSempowenis is clever and witty parody to the extreme. This one will definitely liven up your Heritage Day and get your loved ones giggling!
Untold Tales is a design that I feel should definitely include because it has so many elements that have a South African vibe, or hint at our heritage.
While master designer Qimstudio may not have had this in mind when he originally created this design, there is no doubt that it works!
The lion is such an important symbol in South African society. It symbolizes strength and power and is often known as the “Judge” in African culture because it weeds out the weak animals and maintains the age old truth of only the strongest surviving the harsh African wild. The design element of the ship at the bottom also works for South African Heritage Day. The Europeans that originally settled here arrived on massive ships , travelling thousands of miles across some of the most dangerous stretches of ocean on Earth.
Ok, so it doesn’t have South African colors , any political figures , or wild animals , but what it does have is PARTY ENERGY!
This year Heritage Day falls on a Saturday , which means everybody will be together having a great time, which usually ends up with everyone (who can still stand) going out for a serious jol ....that means ‘party’ for all your international Springleapers!
I WANNAROCK is a full on party shirt. If you pull one of these bad boys on you will instantly get a +10 constitution bonus for clubbing, hehe. That means hours and hours of dancing , YAY!
Even if you aren’t a South African , it doesn’t mean you can’t get involved in the celebration. Heritage Day in South Africa is also known as National Braai Day (braai = barbecue).
So why not get some friends together, stick the BBQ on and have a fine ol time. Eat, drink responsibly and be merry!
If you would like to seriously get involved you can join us as we sing our national anthem.
I can’t wait for Heritage day!
Hehe yeah that is a good point, woopsies!
Now it is a FULL ON African dream design.
You rock dude :)

Collected my “Own Heavens” T from the Springleap office today. Had a nice chat with Lester, who showed me several of the other designs in their storeroom. The cherry on top of the whole experience was when I took the T out of the plastic bag tonight and saw, “‘There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.’ Leonard Cohen,” printed on the inside. To have these profound words from one of my all-time favourite songs by one of my all-time favourite artists on this T-shirt is just incredible. Thank you very much!
And in this glorious weather we’re having these days I’ll be wearing it tomorrow!

I’m just an old fogey of 51, with absolutely no involvement in the clothing industry, who is blown away by the amount of talent you’ve managed to collect on this one site!
It’s every person’s dream to soar high up in the skies like an eagle. But every now and then we tend to loose who we really are. This design was inspired by a traditional ritual we had recently with my family, all my family coming together; kinda like “home coming”. Rooted reminds of who I am, where I’m from and gives me courage to get where I wanna go.
Hope you like it!
yeah it was indeed. What do you think about the design though?
