"Come and Take It" Gonzales Flag | Short Sleeve Jersey T-Shirt | Bella + Canvas

Embrace the spirit of freedom with this "Come and Take It" Gonzales Flag Tee. It’s soft and lightweight, with the right amount of stretch. It's comfortable and flattering for all.

The tee proudly displays the iconic "Come and Take It" slogan—a powerful symbol of liberty, self-defense, and the right to bear arms.

The phrase "Come and Take It" carries a rich history, originating with King Leonidas I's legendary defiance against the Persian army at the Battle of Thermopylae. It was later adopted by American patriots in 1778 at Fort Morris during the Revolution, and again in 1835 by Texian settlers at the Battle of Gonzales during the Texas Revolution.

In Gonzales, Texas, settlers used this slogan to resist the Mexican government's demand to return a cannon provided for their defense. Instead of surrendering, they crafted a flag featuring a black star, the cannon, and the defiant message: "Come and Take It." This flag has since become an enduring symbol of American defiance and independence.

This t-shirt proudly features a white U.S. flag on the right shoulder, designed with the stars facing forward, just like on military uniforms. This symbolizes the flag "flying" as you advance, a powerful nod to courage and forward momentum.

Wear this tee with pride, honoring a timeless emblem of resistance and freedom.
