About This Design

2/47th Inf. "Panthers Did It All" Bastards Shirt

2/47th Inf. "Panthers Did It All" Bastards Shirt

During the latter period of its deployment in-country the 2/47th Infantry (Mechanised), was moved from its original base-camp at Bearcat to the Mekong Delta base at Binh Phuoc in 1968, During the monsoon season the M113 ACAV's were easily bogged down and largely ineffective except as part of fixed defences. Consequently, the Panthers often left their tracks behind and deployed as part of the Mobile Riverine Force, joining its sister 9th Infantry Division 3/47th, 4/47th, and 3/60th Infantry battalions aboard the boats of the "Brown Water Navy". Throughout its deployment, the Panthers would also engage in air-mobile operations, periodically. Many Panthers racked up enough helicopter insertions to earn Air Medals. The front of the shirt sports the vintage Panther pocket patch print with the Bastard tab the Panthers commissioned. The Panthers were part of the 3rd Brigade, 9th Infantry Division which had been been shuttled from one division to another since the rest of the "Old Reliables" had returned to the United States, eight months earlier. This inspired the Panthers to adopt the additional nickname "Bastards". They had a flash run up by a local tailor to wear above the unauthorised Panther Pocket Patch that dated back to 1967 and the division's arrival. The back of the shirt features silhouettes of the M113 track, ATC "Tango Boat", and UH-1H "Huey" cut from the Vietnam Service Ribbon on the back.

This is the first time I have experimented with some of my art on a shirt. I will be trying a few designs to see what works best. I am thrilled with the result. Premium quality results. Now I just need to wait and see how the picture quality will cope with multiple washes. Amazed and incredibly satisfied with the shirt.
