When it comes to the Revolutionary War, we all know the basics, the Declaration of Independence, Paul Revere’s ride, etc., they are part of the American psyche. Something that is not always remembered as clearly is the political upheaval that lead to the Declaration itself. As the we approach the 4th of July, the Join or Die Pocket Tee ($19.95) from Buffalo and Company is the perfect way to show off your American roots with an interesting twist.

The Join or Die Pocket Tee features a snake design created by Benjamin Franklin to represent the colonies.  The design eventually became a symbol of the American resistance to British rule and was displayed on flags throughout the colonies as they fought to gain their independence.  To say that this shirt is a bit more interesting than the standard Old Navy “flag tee” that will be showing up at 4th of July cookouts nationwide would be quite the understatement.  At the end of the day, we respect every flag that has flown above our great country, and we love the fact that Buffalo and Company is reintroducing a number of them to a whole new generation.
