The black and white striped Lady Gaga “Telephone” inspired artwork featured on the shirt was rendered by artist Chad Sells. It is the first look from Eureka on the first episode of Season 9, which featured guest judge Lady Gaga and her iconic fashions on the runway. “Your heart shines through. It was beautiful,” said Lady Gaga during critiques.

“I agree with Lady Gaga. This signature T-shirt commemorates the first time the world saw Eureka, and her heart does shine through. Nothing could be more true about Eureka. I appreciate her commitment to help support LGBTQ youth with this T-shirt design,” said Shane Windmeyer, Campus Pride executive director.
