President's Shirt

1992

Alonso 'Tiny' Barrientes’s 1992 Sombrero Festival shirt features a vibrant and detailed map of Washington Park, the heart of the festival. The design highlights key attractions, such as the Jalapeño Contest, Waiters Race, and Grito Contest, along with food and souvenir booths. The sombrero and flags at the top represent cultural pride and unity. This playful and colorful map-style design serves as a guide for attendees and captures the lively spirit of the festival, inviting everyone to experience the event’s diverse offerings.
