This crewneck sweatshirt design embodies the spirit and mission of the 106th Rescue Wing, a vital combat search and rescue unit within the New York Air National Guard.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The central design element features a bold representation of the 106th RQW's operational assets. Aircraft, specifically the HH-60G Pave Hawk and the HC-130J Combat King II, are depicted in dynamic poses suggesting active deployment.

Color palettes are usually selected to reflect the unit's operational environment, often using subdued tones associated with the Air Force, or the colors from the 106th Rescue Wing's official unit patch.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design is a tribute to the bravery and dedication of the Airmen of the 106th Rescue Wing. It symbolizes the unit's global reach, showcasing their ability to deploy worldwide to locate and recover isolated personnel, both in combat and peacetime scenarios.
The presence of the aircraft and the "That others may live" motto underscores the unit's commitment to personnel recovery, combat search and rescue (CSAR), and the broader mission of saving lives. The design is a badge of honor, representing the selfless service and the critical role the 106th RQW plays in both federal and state operations.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.
Practical construction details — a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape and the absence of side seams — remove common annoyances so the sweatshirt feels smooth and lasting during everyday use.
- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk
- Made to hold print detail and color after repeated washing
Fit & Style Notes
The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
