The 1776 Hoodie is what happens when a rattlesnake becomes the official mascot of "don’t mess with me." Surrounded by stars and stamped with the year America collectively said, “You know what, King George? Keep your tea. We’ve got whiskey.”
- Snake design: Nature’s way of saying “Try me and find out.”
- 1776 included, because what’s more American than declaring independence over breakfast?
- Black hoodie: Sleek enough for modern rebels, comfy enough for binge-watching documentaries about how awesome 1776 was.
- Pairs perfectly with an attitude that says “Freedom first, cardio later.”
Because sometimes you don’t just wear a hoodie… you wear history with a side of sass.

FAQs
What's the historical significance of the rattlesnake and why does it represent 1776?
Benjamin Franklin published an essay in 1751 suggesting the rattlesnake as symbol for American colonies because it gives warning before striking (like colonists petitioning for rights), never backs down when threatened, and has 13 rattles (like the 13 colonies). The Gadsden flag—yellow with coiled rattlesnake and "Don't Tread on Me" became an early Revolutionary War symbol in 1775. The Continental Marines carried it into battle. It represented colonial warning to Britain: stop oppressing us or face armed resistance. Today it symbolizes resistance to government overreach, individual liberty, and the founding spirit. This hoodie connects that Revolutionary War imagery to 1776, the year independence was declared. It's not just decoration—it's revolutionary symbolism that's been relevant for 250 years.
Is this associated with specific political movements or just general patriotism?
The Gadsden flag and 1776 imagery have been adopted by various groups Tea Party movement, libertarians, Second Amendment advocates, general conservative patriots, and constitutionalists. Some progressive groups view this imagery as far-right symbolism. The historical symbol itself is American Revolutionary War iconography representing resistance to tyranny. How you interpret it depends on your politics. This hoodie celebrates founding principles and Revolutionary War history. If you're proud of 1776 and what the Founders established, this represents that. In conservative and libertarian circles, this is respected patriotic expression. In progressive areas, it might be read as political statement. Wear it if you're comfortable being identified with founding principles and don't care about political labeling.
Will the snake and star graphics hold up or fade and crack over time?
Quality printing on black fabric maintains definition and contrast significantly better than cheap alternatives. The rattlesnake design and surrounding stars won't peel off in chunks or fade to gray shadows. With proper care (wash inside out, cold water, avoid bleach, tumble dry low or hang dry) the graphics will stay sharp and clear for years. All printed garments show some wear with heavy use—edges might soften slightly after hundreds of washes—but this is built for people who wear their founding principles regularly. The black background helps maintain graphic clarity longer. Your revolutionary message will stay bold through long-term wear.
How does sizing and fabric weight work for different seasons?
Standard unisex sizing that fits true to size for most people. Heavyweight construction provides genuine warmth this is substantial fabric, not thin retail weight. Perfect for fall, winter, and spring. Not ideal for hot summer weather unless you're in air conditioning. The weight communicates quality immediately when you put it on. Check size chart for specific measurements if you're between sizes or want particular fit. Allows comfortable layering underneath without being restrictive. If you normally wear large hoodies, order large. For oversized comfort, size up one. Built for actual wear during outdoor activities, not just fashion photos.
Is this appropriate for veterans or just civilian patriotism?
Absolutely appropriate for veterans. The Continental Marines carried the Gadsden flag into Revolutionary War battles—this is military history as much as civilian history. Many veterans appreciate this imagery because it represents the founding principles they swore to defend. The rattlesnake symbolism—warning before striking, fighting fiercely when threatened, never surrendering—resonates with military culture. This honors the generation that started American military tradition by fighting for independence. Whether you served or just respect those who did, this celebrates the revolution that established the country worth defending. It's patriotic heritage everyone can wear, with special significance for those who continued the tradition of defending American liberty.
