This logo was designed by Rob Noland and is one of my alternative “WARdrobe: Army Apparel” choices while in the islands or any other warm weather climate for that matter.
In Hawaiian tradition, these lei (garlands) were worn by ancient Hawaiians to beautify themselves and distinguish themselves from others. Among other sacred uses, it was used to signify a peace agreement between opposing chiefs.
The Lei greeting, when presented and accepted, has come to signify a mutual feeling of Aloha: welcome, peace, unconditional love. In TSA parlance it signifies holiness, beautifying ourselves with with the Lei of Aloha, thereby distinguishing ourselves as in the world, but separate from it. The Lei, draped over the Crest represents this Aloha of Holiness, a beautiful and meaningful expression, I think.

I would so wear that shirt/logo. The message behind the logo speaks to me.
