1912 is a grass roots project created by Phoenix-based artist William LeGoullon. The 1912 Project promotes appreciation and love for Arizona's creativity, history, symbolism, and identity. By spreading awareness to those who choose to recognize our state's uniqueness, LeGoullon hopes to encourage state pride and collective support. A locally inspired creation, 1912 produces limited edition t-shirts featuring simplistic imagery to symbolize a simple idea.
The idea…
People who choose to promote 1912 are aiding in the continual creative formation of Arizona’s perception, integrity and character. By supporting the project, you’re supporting growth. Just wear the t-shirt with pride and spread the word about what makes Arizona special. Promote the small things that others may not see and generate a sense of excitement about being part of what makes up Arizona. By choosing to wear and identify with 1912, you choose to identify with and support Arizona's creativity, history, symbolism, and identity.

1912 produces high-quality limited edition hand-screen printed t-shirts. Each 1912 “release” features an original design and will be matched with a particular shirt style. Each release has a set edition, meaning that the tees are only available while supplies last. If there is a release that has an edition of 20, that means that only 20 shirts will ever be produced using that particular design/shirt style combination.
Keeping each release to a minimum enhances the uniqueness of each design and generates diversity within The 1912 Project. Each tee is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Once the majority of one release is sold, the next release will become available using funding from the prior release. That is why it is important to continue supporting 1912, as without financial assistance from supporters like you, The 1912 Project cannot grow. 1912 is locally designed, printed, and supported.
