11th Armored Cavalry — Germany Tripwire for the Cold War
This premium all-over print tee honors the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment's critical Cold War mission along the German border. Known as the "Blackhorse Regiment," the 11th ACR served as the tripwire force—the first line of defense against potential Soviet aggression in Europe from the 1950s through the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Designed for Cold War veterans, 11th ACR alumni, military historians, and those who honor the decades-long vigil that kept freedom secure, this tee features authentic imagery that captures the tension, discipline, and readiness that defined service on the Fulda Gap.
Why This Tee Stands Apart
Cold War Legacy — The 11th Armored Cavalry's mission in Germany wasn't about battles fought, but about deterrence maintained. This tee honors the soldiers who stood ready for decades, patrolling the border and ensuring peace through strength.
Authentic All-Over Design — The full-bleed print wraps continuously around the garment in muted greens and worn canvas tones, creating a visual story that reads from every angle. The imagery evokes forward operating bases, armored patrols, and the quiet resolve of soldiers on watch.
Built for Durability — 100% polyester knit is quick-drying, breathable, and shape-retaining. Cut-and-sew construction with side seams, shoulder tape, and ribbed collar ensures the garment holds its structure through repeated wear.
Versatile Weight Options — Choose lightweight (113 g/m²) for breathable comfort in warmer weather, or midweight (170 g/m²) for a more substantial feel and layering versatility.
