Cross Colours Philosophy
Cross Colours wasn't merely selling clothing—it was pushing a message, "Clothing Without Prejudice." That slogan appeared on every garment. Since they were primarily targeting African-American youth they wanted to inspire them with positive messages like “Stop D Violence” and “Educate 2 Elevate”. Cross Colours clothing isn’t just a fashion statement, they represented a political and social message.

Famous quotes containing the words cross, colours and/or philosophy:
“Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face!
Clouds of the west—sun there half an hour
high—I see you also face to face.
Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me!
On the ferry-boats the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning
home, are more curious to me than you suppose,
And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might suppose.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“In a borealic iceberg came Victoria; she
Knew Prince Albert’s tall memorial took the colours of the floreal
And the borealic iceberg;”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
“Irish? In truth I would not want to be anything else. It is a state of mind as well as an actual country. It is being at odds with other nationalities, having quite different philosophy about pleasure, about punishment, about life, and about death. At least it does not leave one pusillanimous.”
—Edna O’Brien (b. c. 1932)
