About the Design
About the Design
This design commemorates a specific historical initiative: the 1987 Teen Abstinence Day organized by Suffolk County Public Schools. It features a bold, retro-inspired graphic that harks back to public health campaigns and social messaging from that era, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and educational history.
The artwork is a faithful reproduction of a vintage slogan, complete with the distinctive typography and layout popular in the late 1980s. It serves as a wearable piece of social history, reflecting past approaches to youth education.
What the Phrase Means
The phrase "I Gave My Word To Stop At Third" is a well-known metaphor from abstinence education. Drawing from baseball terminology, it signifies a commitment to maintaining boundaries in a relationship and refraining from sexual intimacy, often used as a euphemism for pre-marital sex.
This slogan succinctly communicated a message of self-control and personal commitment regarding sexual activity to teenagers, emphasizing promises made to oneself or others.

The typography is strong and chunky, suggesting a clear, direct message. Below, smaller white text provides context, flanked by two classic white stars, enhancing the vintage, almost patriotic, campaign aesthetic. The overall mood is nostalgic and a bit cheeky due to the double entendre, set against a stark black background for maximum contrast.
