The Graphic: BL Speed Emblem in Silver-Chrome & Blue

Left-chest placement. Silver. Chrome. Cool blue metallic.

The BL Speed Emblem — the circular racing badge with the bold “BL” monogram and speed swoosh arc — is rendered here in a cool silver-chrome and blue metallic tone that creates a stunning, tonal harmony with the Navy colorway and a sharp, icy contrast on the darker colorways. This is the coolest, most athletic-feeling graphic variant in the entire Signature Wear Collection lineup. The “BENJAMIN LAALY” wordmark sits beneath the emblem in the same cool metallic tones. Against the clean, durable EcoSmart fleece and the full-zip silhouette, the graphic carries a confident, sport-tech energy that kids will love.

Color Moods

• Navy — Deep, classic navy with a timeless, athletic energy. The silver-chrome BL emblem creates a stunning cool-tone harmony — sharp, clean, and endlessly versatile.
• Light Steel — Cool, soft steel grey with a modern, understated feel. The silver-chrome emblem blends beautifully for a tonal, sophisticated look.
• Deep Royal — Rich, vibrant royal blue with a bold, energetic presence. The silver-chrome emblem pops with striking contrast against the deep blue ground.
• Deep Forest — Deep, rich forest green with a rugged, outdoorsy energy. The silver-chrome emblem adds a premium, unexpected contrast — sharp and distinctive.
• Black — Pure, deep black. Sleek, sharp, and always in season. The silver-chrome BL emblem is at its most striking here — icy and bold against the dark ground.
