Terrorists Can Shake Our Buildings Sweater

A patriotic sweater featuring the phrase: Terrorists Can Shake Our Buildings But Never Can Touch America's Foundation. The sweater has this phrase intertwined with the American flag. This is a unique item, and the second sweater featured in my collection. Like the other sweater, this household item could be purchased by any consumer and worn. It also is visible proof of the impact of 9/11 on all forms of material culture. This sweater could simply have had just an American flag pattern, but a specific decision was made by the corporation producing it to incorporate a statement in reference to 9/11.

Ralph Lauren Polo Tribute Sweater

One of the more unique items I have, this speciality high-end sweater is Polo brand produced by Ralph Lauren. Clearly a tribute to 9/11, it has various symbols, including a map of the US, a fire truck, flag, Red Cross symbol, Statue of Liberty, firefighter hat, and RL02 (ralph lauren). Truly a great clothing item that retailed for hundreds of dollars, the sweater certainly is very unique and makes a patriotic and commemorative statement. Another great example of the influence of 9/11 and how it motivated or inspired companies to react and reflect to this event, as well as engage and motivate customers.
