Proposed Flag of Fiji 2015 Design 38 Hoodie: A Visual Description
This hoodie showcases the proposed flag design, Design 38, from the 2015 Fiji flag competition. The design is a bold statement of Fijian identity, aiming to replace colonial symbols with representations of the nation's heritage and aspirations.
Design Elements and Composition
The dominant visual element is a striking composition of colors and shapes. The background is a vibrant light-blue field, known as "Fiji blue," representing the surrounding ocean. A large, dark-blue isosceles triangle takes up the hoist side (the side nearest the flagpole), stretching nearly three-quarters of the flag's length.
Separating the triangle from the light-blue field is a prominent white chevron. This six-sided shape provides a visual break and adds a geometric contrast to the design, reaching approximately halfway across the hoodie. Inside the dark-blue triangle, a light-grey turtle motif is centrally positioned. This represents the turtle, which carries great meaning in Fijian culture and symbolizes longevity and resilience.
Fly Side Details and Symbolism
On the fly side (the part of the hoodie that would "fly" in the wind), three seven-pointed dark-blue stars are arranged in a triangular layout. These stars are positioned towards the outer edge and are spaced to suggest the horizon. They all point toward the hoist (the viewer's left). This arrangement adds a celestial element, representing hope and direction for the future.
This design is influenced by design 46, creating a cohesive family of designs, while still retaining its own unique touches. The turtle motif and the arrangement of stars are defining features of this design, distinguishing it from other flag proposals.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Hoodie
A soft, cozy hooded sweatshirt built for comfort-first living. This heavy-blend hoodie pairs plush insulation with a clean, unfussy silhouette — roomy enough to curl up in, tidy enough to wear out.
Product Highlights
Made from a thick cotton/polyester blend, this hoodie feels plush the moment you put it on. The fabric traps warmth without feeling bulky, and the soft brushed interior keeps it gentle against the skin — perfect for chilly mornings, late-night walks, or working from the couch.
Practical details matter: the spacious kangaroo pocket gives your hands a place to warm up and keeps small essentials close, while a matching drawstring adds a refined touch that won't clash with print or embroidery. Built with reinforced seams and a balanced weight, it wears like your favorite sweatshirt from week one.
- Thick cotton/polyester blend for softness and thermal comfort
- Brushed interior for a cozy hand-feel
- Large kangaroo pocket for warmth and storage
- Matching drawstring for a clean, coordinated look

Fit & Style Notes
This hoodie has a relaxed, unisex cut—comfortable as a standalone layer or roomy enough to go over a tee. Prefer a contemporary, oversized look? Consider sizing up one. Want a neater fit for layering under jackets? Stick with your usual size.
Style it with tapered joggers and minimalist sneakers for an elevated casual set, or add a denim jacket and boots for an easy street-ready outfit. It's a versatile base for prints, patches, or embroidered logos.
