Power of 9 T-Shirt Design Winners

We’re excited to announce our t-shirt design contest winners! If you’ll remember, next year is the 40th Anniversary of Title IX, (the federal legislation that brought girls off the sidelines and onto the playing fields all across America). To celebrate this milestone, we have a few plans in the making; one of them being some limited edition tees (that celebrate the Power of 9). So, to kick things off, we had y’all submit your tee shirt designs. Thanks to all who submitted an entry!

Wow, was it a tough decision…we have some pretty talented folks out there! After deliberating, we selected these 3 designs as winners. Heidi, Colette and Abby will receive $100 T9 gift cards.


Heidi – Oshkosh, WI

Colette – Burbank, CA

Abby – Telluride, CO

Yes she did

But no, Michelle Obama did not change the definition of a strong woman. She just revealed something that has been going on, hidden in plain sight, for a long, long time. A whole generation of us, we post Title IX women, have been making our mark on the world by the choices we make and the compromises that we have refused to make. We are fit and powerful, buoyed by the strength we found on the fields and courts of our girlhoods.

She does all of us post-Title IXer’s proud, But Michelle Obama is not singular, just the most visible of a whole generation of fit, powerful, post Title IX women. When we celebrate her, we are in fact, celebrating our own strength, our own true selves. And, …

We’ve only just begun.
