The (2) might be included in a manner consistent with the movie title appearing in the 1974 movie poster artwork. This detail may not always be consistent in fan-made art based on the film, but this hoodie is specifically inspired by the actual movie poster.

The design may use vibrant colors and a cosmic backdrop to convey the science fiction aesthetic and further capture the 1970s vibe. The colors, combined with the other imagery, contribute to an overall sense of isolation, exploration, and the quirky humor present in the film. The use of certain stylistic choices reflects the movie’s cult classic status.
