The jerseys were used as costumes in my upcoming feature film, 72 Hours: a Brooklyn Love Story? One of the characters wears an UNARMED jersey in every scene that he appears.

Oscar Grant and Trayvon Martin Revision
The Oscar Grant jersey is the first football jersey in the series. Silver and Black in honor of his hometown Oakland Raiders. The Trayvon Martin jersey was revised in the colorway of a local football team as well.
First Production
The first jerseys actually produced were in December of 2014 — Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and Trayvon Martin. While the Brown jersey was made according to the earlier mock-up art, the Garner and Martin jerseys were produced in hockey designs. I got these made at a local sporting goods store, and wasn’t able to the customizations in the flat 2-d designs. Still, holding the physical garments for the first time was a powerful feeling.
Edith, Stephanie, and Nelson were the 2nd A.D., Producer, and Assistant Director of my feature film 72 Hours: a Brooklyn Love Story? We were in pre-production at the time. A character in the film wears the jerseys in each of his scenes. You can see the Oscar Grant 22 at the 1:30 mark in the trailer.
