FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to a sweatshirt adapted to be worn to a sports game and particularly relates to a sweatshirt having a fixed home team crest presented by said sweatshirt and a releasibly removable crest of a competitor's team.
BACgGROUND TO THE INV~NTION
Various garments have heretofore been proposed which include various indicia including sports team crests which may be releasibly secured therefrom.
For example, United States Patent No. 3,489,974 teaches a removable identifying means comprising in combination an elongated strip having a plurality of loop elements on its outer ~urface and a plurality of characters, each comprised of material having a plurality of resiliently deformed hook shaped elements on its rear surface. Each of the characters is adapted to be removably attached to the strip so that various combinations of the characters may be used interchangeably with the strip.
Moreover United States Patent No. 4,354,282 illustrates a garment to be worn on a body torso while playing a sports game.
The garment includes a front panel for support from and positioning in overlying relationship to the crest area of a person wearing the garment and further includes indicia 2 ~ ~3 associated with each distinctive colour area with the indicia indicating the score values of successive scores of predetermined sports games. At least one marker of another distinctive colour is provided and selectively registerable over the distinctive colour areas.
Furthermore United States Patent No. 4,666,136 relates to a T-Shirt on which a graphical representation comprises a portion imprinted on the T-Shirt with a 3-dimensional self-supporting structure temporarily connected to the T-Shirt completing the design.
Yet another garment is disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,627,110 which relates to an article of wearing apparel such as a shirt which has a writing surface provided on a prominent portion thereof when worn by a user.
Finally, United States Patent No. 4,710,981 teaches a wearing apparel consisting of a garment which includes a flap with a releasible grouping surface hinged on one of the garment's exposed surface panels and constructed so that the end of the flap which is not hingedly cormected can be swung away from the garment panel to flash or expose a written indicia on the underside of the flap.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved garment which includes a fixed home team crest and a ro1easibly e-curab1e creet of a compotitor~
' `
f It is an aspect of this invention to provide an article of clothing including: a first indicia structure exteriorly fixedly secured to the article; second indicia structure releasibly securable exteriorly to said article; loop structure having a circular configuration associated with one of said article or second indicia structure; and hook structure having a circular configuration associated with said other one of said article or second indicia structure so as to releasibly secure said second indicia structure to said article when said hook structure overlies said loop structure.
It is a further aspect of this invention to provide a sweatshirt adapted to be worn to a sports game comprising; a first crest including home team indicia silk screened to the exterior of said sweatshirt; loop structure having a circular configuration with a first diameter associated exteriorly to said sweatshirt; a second crest including, indicia of a competitor's team on one side thereof, and hook structure having a circular configuration with a diameter corresponding to said first diameter on the other side thereof, whereby said second crest is releasibly securable exteriorly to said sweatshirt by fastening said loop structure to said hook structure; and a strip providing fastening structure at the ends thereof adapted to overlie said second crest.
