University of Minnesota/Minnesota 4-H guidelines for creating 4-H apparel art work:
1. 4-H clover: The 4-H clover must appear somewhere on the shirt in a prominent size and/or position.
Do not place words or graphics over the clover. Do not flip or rotate the clover. The USC symbol should
be included with the clover.
2. The entrant can choose from theses shirt colors - green, gold, maroon, white or gray. No other colors
are permitted.
3. The entrant can choose one color ink from these official colors- 4-H green, white, or black (for white
clovers, “H’s” can only be 4-H green).
REMEMBER: This design will be worn by your fellow 4-Hers as they represent you, your 4-H club,
Hennepin County 4-H and Urban 4-H at the State Fair. As such, make sure your design is appropriate for
4-H situations.
County Fair design must include the 2016 County Fair Theme: “Keep Calm and Be a 4-Her”
The design will be focused only on the front of the T-shirt, with the back predetermined using MN 4-H
templates, which will include “Hennepin County” and “2016”. Below is an example.
Judging Criteria:
 Fun implementation of 2016
County Fair Theme
 Creativity
 Ability to duplicate art on a T-shirt
(art should be drawn with black
marker or computer printed)
