Sunbird Protea Bloom Original Hockey Jersey

A sunbird, the jewel-bright nectar bird of southern Africa, perches beside a king protea with an iridescent turquoise head, a flame-red chest, a golden belly, green wings and a long pointed tail, its curved bill reaching into the pink bracts of the flower against a warm hill-country sky. The Sunbird Protea Bloom Original Hockey Jersey is an original custom hockey jersey with a FREE custom name and number, offered in sizes XS to 6XL and four colors (Protea Pink, Fynbos Olive, Midnight Teal and Protea Cream), and made to order. It is an easy-to-love fan shirt and piece of sports apparel for the rink, game nights and everyday wear.

The Artwork

The design has one clear sunbird theme, a crisp detailed crest, a balanced palette and clean patterned stripes, with open space so it stays sharp and easy to read. It is an original 1life2live design with no team, league or brand marks.

• Front: a detailed round crest with a sunbird perched by a large pink protea, an iridescent turquoise head, red chest, yellow belly, green wings, a long tail and a curved bill at the flower, with hills and a warm sky behind, inside a metallic star-studded ring with a PROTEA banner
• Collar: a laced V-neck in a contrast color
• Sleeves and hem: solid stripes framing a patterned band of flowers and leaves
• Back: clean open space for your name and number, with a small matching mark under the collar

The story behind it

Sunbirds are small Old World nectar feeders, often compared to hummingbirds though they usually perch to feed. The males of many species flash metallic greens, blues and reds, and in South Africa they are closely tied to protea country, moving from bloom to bloom as the seasons change. It is a perfect pick for the lively, colorful player who always finds an opening.
