Honor the Black Panthers — 761st Tank Battalion
They came out fighting — and never stopped.
The 761st Tank Battalion "Black Panthers" shattered barriers and liberated a continent. Activated in 1942, they became the first African-American armored unit to enter combat in World War II — rolling through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, and Austria as part of Patton's Third Army for 183 consecutive days of unbroken combat.
This premium long sleeve carries their authentic Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) — a symbol of valor, resilience, and a legacy that changed American military history forever.
Why This Shirt Stands Apart
- Authentic SSI Design — The exact insignia worn by the Black Panthers, rendered with precision
- Premium Fabric — Heavyweight, ring-spun cotton built for comfort and lasting wear
- Long Sleeve Cut — Structured fit ideal for cooler weather, layering, or everyday wear
- Available in Black, Navy & White — S through 3XL
A Legacy Earned in Fire
General Patton told them before their first mission: "I would never have asked for you if you weren't good." They answered with 183 days of combat, a Presidential Unit Citation, and a Medal of Honor — posthumously awarded to SSgt. Ruben Rivers in 1997.
Wear it as a tribute. Wear it as a statement. Wear it because history deserves to be remembered.
Black Panthers. Come out fighting.
