50-Star American Flag: Old Glory Stars and Stripes T-Shirt
The 50-star flag, a powerful symbol of American unity, has an origin story as unique as the nation it represents. In 1958, a young high school student named Bob Heft, living in Lancaster, Ohio, faced a history class assignment: design a new flag for the United States. - Heft, a visionary teenager, didn't limit his imagination to the 48 states that existed at the time. He boldly predicted that Alaska and Hawaii would soon join the Union, and so, he created a flag adorned with 50 stars. His teacher, however, was sceptical of this ambitious prediction and initially awarded him a B- for his project. - Undeterred by his teacher's initial assessment, Heft, with the encouragement of his family, took matters into his own hands. He presented his 50-star flag to his congressman, who, intrigued by the young student's foresight, brought it to the attention of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. - The President, impressed by the thoughtful design, held onto the flag. And when, as Heft had foreseen, Hawaii became the 50th state in 1960, President Eisenhower officially adopted the 50-star flag as the new national emblem. - The flag's design itself is a testament to American ideals. The 13 alternating red and white stripes represent the original 13 colonies that declared independence from Great Britain. 1 The 50 white stars on a blue field symbolise the 50 states that now comprise the United States. Red signifies valour and bravery, white represents purity and innocence, and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice. - Thus, the 50-star flag, a beacon of American unity and strength, flies today thanks to the vision and determination of a single high school student. His story serves as a powerful reminder that even the most powerful symbols can have humble beginnings and that the future of a nation can sometimes be shaped by the unexpected contributions of its youth.

Ordered two Doge Tshirts. Love them! I’m extremely happy with the quality of the print and Tshirt. Well made. Fast delivery to Australia. Highly recommended. Thank you. The printing on Tshirt is perfect.. vibrant and sharp. True to images on the website. I haven’t washed it, so I can’t comment on that.

100% cotton so perfect for summer, It is a nicely designed t-shirt, the fabric is soft and the seams finished well, the body of the t shirt has no side seams. I bought a medium size for my two grandsons, aged 9 and 8 it will be slightly big on them but I would rather that than too small
Super quick postage too from USA to Australia, in just 7 days. The printing was perfect crisp and clean. The print size was as in the description. The boys will love it
