Gulf of Mexico Heritage Badge T-Shirt

A vintage-style badge design centred around the theme of the Gulf of Mexico’s coastal heritage. The badge is circular or shield-shaped with a slightly distressed, hand-drawn appearance for a rustic and nostalgic feel. At the centre, a detailed illustration of a pelican perches on a weathered wooden pier post, gazing towards the horizon. Behind the pelican, gentle ocean waves roll towards the shore, and a setting sun casts a warm glow, creating a serene coastal atmosphere. A few seagulls soar in the sky to add movement and depth. Encircling the main illustration, the words 'Gulf of Mexico' are prominently displayed in bold, uppercase letters at the top of the badge in a vintage, slightly curved font that follows the contour of the badge. Below, the phrase 'Since 1672' is written in a smaller, elegant serif font, subtly emphasizing the historical significance. The colour palette consists of earthy tones, including deep ocean blues, muted teals, sandy beige, and rustic browns, reinforcing the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast. The design has a lightly weathered texture, giving it a well-worn, timeless look, ideal for a heritage-inspired apparel piece.
