Apple Employee Outdoor Run shirt (c. 2020)

This shirt was made available to selected Apple employees who are running enthusiasts. The shirt is made by SUGOi, a Canadian sportswear company that “offers a range of technically advanced clothing and accessories for all conditions and for everyone.”

The shirt is black and made from a textured fabric with a lining. The small front design is printed over the heart and features a red heart similar to the Heart Rate section in the Health app printed with “160 BPM.” The back of the shirt features a striking design with “Outdoor Run” printed at the bottom using a font and layout similar to the Apple Watch Activity app with the Activity rings printed below in matching colors. Eight bright green vertical stripes run from the bottom logo to the top neckline.

The left sleeve features an Apple logo, and the right sleeve includes the word “Apple” (although in a font that resembles Apple Myriad, an older rendition of Apple’s logotype that does not match this overall design).

Both the outer and inner layers of this shirt are textured, likely to promote moisture wicking. The interior lining is semi-transparent white.

Apple’s “To the crazy ones” manifesto reads:

To the crazy ones.

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify them or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can
change the world, are the ones who do.

Think Different.

The shirt was manufactured by Vistawear Classics. It is a size Large.
