Blue Raglan Cooling Graphic Tee

Energy, Engineered.

Introducing The Kinetic Field Tee from Empty Reference—a garment where visual dynamism is matched by molecular intelligence. This is performance redefined through color and substance. A deep, resonant cobalt blue body acts as a stable, cooling core. From it erupt sunburst yellow sleeves, overprinted with crisp tonal stripes—a graphic representation of speed and radiation. This bold color-block is more than aesthetic; it's a diagram of energy. The true innovation, however, is foundational: a fabric blend of 70% Polyester for durability and 30% Sorona® polymer for transformative performance. Marked by a subtle, ice-blue brand logo on the chest, this tee is built for motion. It is the synthesis of summer's vitality and cutting-edge material science, crafted for those who move through their days with intention and verve.

⚡ The Blueprint of Kinetic Response:

✔ Dynamic Color-Block Architecture: The stark juxtaposition of cobalt and sunburst creates immediate visual energy. The tonal stripes on the sleeves amplify this effect, suggesting velocity and direction even at rest.
✔ Sorona® Intelligence: Derived from annually renewable plant-based ingredients, Sorona® is the engine of this tee's superior performance. It delivers exceptional stretch recovery, ensuring the shape resists bagging, and a luxuriously soft, moisture-wicking hand-feel that outpaces conventional synthetics.
✔ 70/30 Performance-Blend Rationale: This specific ratio optimizes durability and function. The polyester provides structural resilience and quick-drying properties, while the Sorona® contributes unmatched comfort, elasticity, and a reduced environmental footprint.
✔ The Subtle Insignia: The ice-blue logo, screen-printed on the cobalt field, is a cool counterpoint—a quiet mark of provenance that doesn't interrupt the graphic flow.
✔ The Empty Reference on "Active Philosophy": We believe performance should be inherent, not an added layer. This tee embeds its performance at the fiber level. It is designed not for the arena, but for the active rhythm of daily life—for the commute by bike, the spontaneous game, the sun-drenched exploration. It is kinetic readiness, woven into form.
✔ Optimized Athletic Cut: Features a classic athletic fit—tapered through the body with a slightly broader shoulder and sleeve cap to accommodate movement, ensuring the color-block seam aligns perfectly with the natural shoulder line.

🔬 Anatomy of a Biomotive Layer:

The Color as Energy Map: Blue: calm, depth, stability. Yellow: warmth, alertness, explosion. Their meeting point at the shoulder is the moment of kinetic potential—the instant before motion begins.
Sorona® as the Responsive Substrate: This bio-based polymer isn't just added; it's integrated. It gives the fabric a natural ability to move with you, return to its form, and manage moisture intelligently, making high-energy days feel effortless.
The Silhouette as a Ready State: The cut acknowledges the body in motion. It is neither restrictive nor baggy, but purposefully shaped to look sharp in stillness and move freely in action.

👟 Styling the Engineered Vitality:

This tee is the cornerstone of an active, modern uniform.

For High-Contrast Sportive Style: Pair with charcoal grey technical shorts or joggers and clean, white performance sneakers. Let the tee command attention.
For Urban Energy: Layer under an unzipped, minimalist black vest or wear with dark, tailored denim and retro runners.
For Monochromatic Cooling: Match the cobalt body with solid navy swim shorts or lightweight hiking pants for a day of adventure.
As the Performance Base: Wear under a breathable mesh shirt for added sun protection during high-output activities.
Its Natural Habitat: Summer festivals, coastal walks, open-air training, weekend sports, travel days, or any context that demands both vibrant style and physical readiness.
