He is wearing a blue suit with a large “B” on his forehead and another “B” on his chest. His arms are extended out towards the viewer and his hands are clenched in fists. “BROTHERMAN” is written in blue stylized text above the image. “Dictator of Discipline” is written in white stylized text across the bottom of the image. Written in black text below the image is “© & TM 1994 BIG CITY COMICS.” The shirt has two white tags inside the collar. The larger tag reads “BROTHER / MAN / GEAR / Made in USA” and the smaller tag underneath lists what the shirt is made of, size and has washing instructions.
