We’ve created a women’s sweatshirt that tells the story of an ancient Plast wisdom – to perceive life as the Great Game. This foundational idea was established by Yuriy Starosolsky in his book “The Great Game” over 75 years ago. This edition, featuring an eagle designed by Robert Lisovsky, became Plast’s fundamental book. Speaking of Robert Lisovsky, he was a world-renowned graphic artist who created the Lufthansa logo and designed the knight’s lily intertwined with the trident – the symbol of Plast.
On the back of our sweatshirt, a stylized eagle stands guard, accompanied by the traditional lily and the inscription SKOB, which stands for “Strongly! Beautifully! Carefully! Swiftly!” The right sleeve features a patch with “Independence war” and a portion of the Plast oath: “I will accept work and failure, all hardships and adversities, as tasks of the great game.” Near the heart, we’ve embroidered the quote “And strength was born in hearts” from the very special Plast song “By the Campfire,” written by the same Yuriy Starosolsky. This song is sung every evening by the campfire, at official events, as a lullaby to children, and at the funerals of Plast brothers and sisters.
1000 hryvnias from each sweatshirt sale goes to support Plast institution in Lviv.
