Stix SGV Tee Kids Francis Pigeons S/S (B. Royal) blends authentic skateboarding, Los Angeles street influence, and longtime skate-art heritage into a youth tee that feels rooted in the everyday reality of the San Gabriel Valley. Printed on a bold bright royal blue blank, the shirt features custom artwork created for Stix SGV by legendary skateboard artist Todd Francis, whose unmistakable style helped define the visual identity of modern skateboarding for decades.
The front graphic keeps things clean with a small left chest hit featuring the oversized STIX logo integrated into a gritty urban illustration of pigeons perched around an overturned trash can. The larger back graphic expands the full scene with detailed hand-drawn linework showing scattered debris, city textures, and Francis’ signature pigeon imagery surrounding the “STIX SAN GABRIEL VALLEY” logo. The contrast between the bright royal blue fabric and crisp white artwork gives the tee a sharp highly visible look while still carrying the raw handmade feel Todd Francis is known for.
Pigeons have long been one of Todd Francis’ most recognizable recurring symbols, often representing urban survival, overlooked city life, resilience, and the rougher realities of modern environments. His work consistently combines dark humor, environmental commentary, and anti-establishment skate culture with highly detailed illustrations that feel both chaotic and strangely relatable. That energy translates naturally here, especially within the SGV where alleyways, parking lots, schools, drainage ditches, and everyday street spots have always been part of local skateboarding.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Todd Francis became one of skateboarding’s most influential artists through his longtime work with Antihero Skateboards, including the creation of the iconic Antihero eagle logo alongside founder Julien Stranger. Beyond Antihero, Francis has created graphics and artwork for brands including Vans, Spitfire, Element, Stance, HUF, and Oakley while exhibiting fine art internationally. His work is known for blending bleak humor with sharp political and environmental satire while still remaining deeply connected to skateboarding itself rather than commercial trends.
The tee itself features a comfortable regular fit designed for everyday wear whether it’s skating after school, hanging around the park, or getting put through constant daily use. Constructed from midweight 5.3 oz 100% combed cotton with 28-singles fabric, the material feels soft while still holding durability for active kids. Additional construction details include neck ribbing, side seams, shoulder-to-shoulder taping, and double needle hems for improved structure and longevity. The shirt is also preshrunk to minimize shrinkage, features vegan-friendly construction, and carries a UPF 50+ rating for added protection during long sunny sessions outside.
