The set of light-emitting diodes is mounted on a substrate. A power source is provided for illuminating the diodes, as is a control circuit for controlling the energization of the diodes. There is a pocket in the article of clothing in which the power source is removably disposed.

An overlay has imprinted thereon a pattern corresponding to the predetermined pattern of the diodes. The overlay has openings therethrough through which the diodes extend, and the overlay is secured to the shell.
