Ruega Por Nosotros Baseball Jersey | Absinthe Society 002

🙏🏽💀🌹⚾ Ruega Por Nosotros — Los Santos Nos Escuchan. ⚾🌹💀🙏🏽

Pray for us.

Not because we are weak. Not because we are lost. Not because we have given up on ourselves or on each other or on the possibility that things can be different than they are.

Pray for us because we are still here.

Because we have survived things that were designed to destroy us and we are still standing, still laughing, still cooking the food and playing the music and telling the stories and lighting the candles and asking the saints for one more miracle, one more day, one more chance to get it right. Because we have buried people we loved and kept going. Because we have been told we don't belong and kept showing up anyway. Because we have carried the weight of history on our backs and still found a way to dance.

In our tradition, prayer is not weakness. Prayer is the most radical act of hope that exists. It is the refusal to accept that the world is only what it appears to be. It is the insistence that there are forces larger than the ones that have tried to diminish us — forces that hear us, that see us, that are on our side even when everything else is not.

The abuela who lit the candle at 3 AM and talked to La Virgen like she was in the room — she wasn't weak. She was the most powerful person in the house. The tío who wore his scapular under his jersey and crossed himself before every game — he wasn't superstitious. He was connected to something ancient and real and undefeatable. The community that built the shrine on the corner and kept it lit through every storm and every gentrification attempt and every year that tried to erase them — they weren't naive. They were practicing the oldest form of resistance there is.

Ruega Por Nosotros is the jersey for everyone who carries a prayer in their pocket. For everyone who has ever crossed themselves before something hard and felt, in that gesture, the presence of everyone who came before them doing the same thing. For everyone who knows that the saints are not distant figures in stained glass but living presences in the barrio, in the kitchen, in the car, in the game, in the moment when you need them most.

For the ones who pray not because they have to but because they want to. Because prayer is how we stay connected to each other and to the ones who are gone and to the possibility that tomorrow can be better than today.

"Ruega por nosotros, ahora y en la hora de nuestra necesidad. Los santos nos escuchan. Siempre nos han escuchado."
(Pray for us, now and in the hour of our need. The saints hear us. They have always heard us.)

Step up to the plate. The saints are watching. 🙏🏽💀⚾

💀 Materials & Specifications

• Fabric: 100% polyester — breathable, lightweight, and built to move through every inning, every prayer, every moment of being fully, unapologetically alive
• Weight: 210 g/m² — substantial enough to carry the weight of a prayer, light enough to run the bases like the saints themselves are clearing the path
• Fit: Regular fit with a slightly rounded hem — classic baseball silhouette, the kind that looks equally right at the game, the cookout, the vigil, and the street
• Closure: Button placket — open it up like you own the field, button it up like you mean business; either way, the prayer is on the front and the saints are watching
• Stitch Color: Black or white, automatically matched based on the design — precise, intentional, like every prayer that has ever been answered
• Placket Design Note: The placket area is designed in solid color for clean construction — the prayer speaks for itself; it doesn't need competition
• Style: Unisex baseball jersey — the saints don't discriminate; neither do we
• Color: White — the color of the candle, the color of the prayer, the color of the moment before the miracle
• Sizes: XS–5XL — because everyone deserves to wear their prayer out loud, in their size, without apology
• Made to order: Crafted specifically for you, like every prayer that has ever been answered — personal, intentional, and worth the wait

🧺 Washing & Care

• Machine wash cold with similar colors — protect the jersey, protect the prayer, protect the graphic that carries the intercession
• Do NOT bleach — we don't bleach our prayers and we don't bleach our jerseys; Ruega Por Nosotros earned every thread of its existence
• Tumble dry low — gentle, like the way the saints handle the things we ask them to carry for us
• Do NOT iron directly on print — the prayer doesn't need heat to make its point; it has been making its point since before you were born
• Do NOT dry clean — this jersey was born on the field and at the altar and in the kitchen and at the corner shrine, not the cleaners
• Pro tip: Turn inside out before washing to keep the print as vivid as the moment the prayer was answered

🎯 How to Determine Your Perfect Fit

1. Measure your chest: Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level and parallel to the floor. This is your most important measurement — the foundation, like the prayer that holds everything together.
2. Measure your shoulders: From the edge of one shoulder to the other, across the back. This jersey has a structured shoulder — getting this right means the whole thing sits perfectly, like a blessing that lands exactly where it's supposed to.
3. Measure your preferred length: Hold a jersey you love against your body and note where the hem falls. Compare to the length chart above.
4. Choose your energy: True to size for that classic baseball jersey look — the player who steps up to the plate with complete confidence and a prayer on their chest. Size up for that oversized, I-wear-my-faith-like-a-uniform energy. Two sizes up for full ruega-por-nosotros-y-no-me-importa-lo-que-pienses drip.
5. Between sizes? Size up. The saints always want you to take up more space. Los santos siempre quieren que ocupes más espacio.

🔥 Style It Your Way

Field Saint: White jersey open over a black tee, dark jeans, clean kicks — the one who steps up to the plate with a prayer on their chest and the saints in their corner, and everyone in the stands knows it

Barrio Blessed: Jersey buttoned up, dark pants, gold chain with a medal — the one who wears their faith like a uniform because it is one, because it has always been one, because the barrio taught them that

Altar Drip: Jersey layered over a long black tee, dark jeans, silver rings — the one who tends the altar and plays the game and sees no contradiction between the two because there isn't one

Sunday Best Meets Street: Jersey open, white tee underneath, dark shorts — the one who came straight from the game to the cookout to the vigil and looked perfect at all three

✨ The Absinthe Society Promise

In our Chicano tradition, the saints are not distant. They are neighbors. They are the ones whose images hang in the kitchen and the car and the bedroom and the corner shrine. They are the ones whose names we call when we need help and whose intercession we trust because our grandmothers trusted it and their grandmothers trusted it before them, back through generations of people who survived impossible things by refusing to face them alone.

Ruega Por Nosotros is for everyone who carries that tradition in their body. For everyone who has ever crossed themselves before something hard and felt the presence of something larger than themselves. For everyone who knows that the most powerful thing you can do is ask for help — from the saints, from the community, from the ancestors who are still watching, still praying, still rooting for us from wherever they are.

Unapologetically Chicano. Unapologetically faithful. Unapologetically wearing the prayer on the front of the jersey for everyone to see.

Ruega Por Nosotros — Los Santos Nos Escuchan. 🙏🏽💀🌹⚾✨
