LEGENDS founder Kim Perkins is a stamp collector who loves exploring the history behind the stamps. Over the years Mr. Perkins noticed that relatively few African Americans had been featured on postage stamps. In fact until Booker T. Washington appeared on a stamp in 1940, no African American had ever been portrayed on a stamp. It was another eight years before George Washington Carver became the second African American to appear on a stamp. Since that time there have been many more African Americans to be honored however there are many that the postal service may never recognize. LEGENDS Urban Wear was created to solve this problem. Knowing that African Americans are proud of their heritage and eager to learn the untold stories of these legends, Mr. Perkins set out to recognize these heroes in a unique way. LEGENDS Urban Wear has created custom screen prints featuring African American historical figures in unique postage stamp designs. These designs are displayed on T-shirts, both short and long sleeve as well as ladies night shirts and hoodies. Wearing these items allows customers to make a fashion statement and display pride in their heritage at the same time. Heading up the lineup are designs of heroes and icons such as the Tuskegee Airmen, the Buffalo Soldiers, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Sojourner Truth to name a few. LEGENDS Urban Wear symbolizes the ability to overcome any hardship or obstacle and still come out on top. LEGENDS is a lifestyle that originates inspiration and its future will always belong to the people who wear it. If we stand tall it is because we are standing on the backs of those who came before us.
