Wear the Legacy of the Tuskers
In 1941, the U.S. Army activated the 758th Tank Battalion — the first all-African American armored unit in American military history. By December 1944, these warriors were rolling through the mountains of Northern Italy, breaching the Gothic Line — the Germans' last major defensive fortification of the Italian Campaign — across the Ligurian Sea, through the Po Valley, and deep into the Apennine Mountains.
They called themselves the Tuskers, named for the tusked elephant head emblazoned on their distinctive unit insignia. They fought with ferocity, discipline, and pride — and they changed the course of history.
This tee is a tribute to their courage.
