Reyn Spooner designer creates new line of UH Hilo tees and sweatshirts to benefit alumni association
Noted artist and designer Eddy Yamamoto has lent his considerable talentsto the UH Hilo Alumni & Friends Association to develop a new line of specialty clothing.
Yamamoto, who has designed shirts and t-shirts for clients, including Reyn Spooner, has produced a special design imprinted on a variety of t-shirts and sweatshirts in various colors and selected styles. Proceeds will be used to support the UH Hilo Alumni and Friends Association scholarships, along with initiatives aimed to meet the needs of its members.
In creating the new design, Yamamoto wanted to give back to the University, where his daughter graduated with a business degree from the College of Business and Economics. Yamamoto credits the education his daughter Kelly received (after transferring from a mainland university) with helping her launch a successful career in accounting.
“We deeply appreciate Eddy’s kind gesture,” said Yu Yok Pearring, director of marketing and alumni. “His genuine gratitude toward the University is reflected in the brilliantly conceived design that we are so honored to receive. These tees and sweatshirts are a great way for alumni, students, staff and faculty and the community-at-large to showcase their pride in the University. This new initiative has enabled the Association to further collaborate with the community and will provide more opportunities for us to grow in more ways than one.”
A fantastic gift for students, friends, and family, these shirts are available in selected styles, colors and sizes.
