That's not an "S" -- it's the Kryptonian symbol for "hope."

Sure, it looks just like the letter "S", which makes perfect sense considering 'Superman' starts with that very English consonant. 

However, Superman recently set us straight: this symbol is the House of El's family crest, a Kryptonian character representing the concept of hope. Hope? Superman? I don't see the connection (JOKING!).

Exemplify the infinite power of hope and its infinitely powerful, space-born architype with our Superman Royal Blue T-Shirt!

Made from 100% cotton, this Navy blue Superman t-shirt features the ubiquitous, inspiring Superman S-shield in distressed screen-printed red and yellow.

The chest-adorned S-symbol of the world's greatest superhero -- the very best version of ourselves -- is a beacon of betterment sharing universally understood aspirations with strangely familiar alien symbology.
