Join or Die T-Shirt – Benjamin Franklin’s Iconic Political Cartoon

Note-Advance Order due before Christmas: We are printing this design in a variety of new colors - printing should take a few weeks. Contact us for any questions. 

Make a bold statement in history with the Join or Die T-Shirt, featuring Benjamin Franklin’s famous 1754 political cartoon. First published in the Pennsylvania Gazette, the design depicts a segmented snake representing the colonies, symbolizing the urgent need for unity.

Originally a rallying cry during the French and Indian War, the image later became a powerful emblem for colonial solidarity against Britain in the 1760s. Today, it remains one of the most recognizable symbols of the American Revolution and early American identity.

Printed on a premium 60/40 blend t-shirt, this dark charcoal tee is lightweight, soft, and durable. Using eco-friendly inks, the design combines historic authenticity with modern comfort—perfect for classrooms, history events, or everyday wear.
