United States 1776 Vintage Collegiate T-Shirt – Navy Graphic – Neutrals

National Pride in the USA

Show your pride with this United States 1776 vintage collegiate USA graphic tee — subtle navy arched lettering with a small “1776” emblem, inspired by classic athletic department t-shirts. 1776 marks the year the United States declared independence from Britain, and this navy graphic tee on neutral and natural colored t-shirts gives that history a quiet, heritage varsity treatment instead of a loud slogan. 

Every purchase helps Local Only support local businesses and community organizations across America, and wearing it is an easy, everyday way to show you care about where you live.

About the Design

Story & Meaning: The navy front graphic combines a clean “UNITED STATES” arc with “1776” beneath it — a nod to the year the USA declared independence from Britain. The collegiate type and gently worn-in look feel like a favorite campus tee that’s been around for years, not a fast-fashion print. It’s a simple, heritage-style way to recognize that history in everyday life: on road trips, at backyard gatherings, at the ballpark, or wherever “home” feels like for you.

T-Shirt Description

Feel & Finish: Soft, lightweight, and easy to wear, this Bella+Canvas 3001 neutral crewneck tee feels like a favorite from day one. The navy collegiate print sits cleanly on the fabric with a gently worn-in look that fits the vintage theme without feeling overdone. Airlume combed, ring-spun cotton gives the shirt a smooth handfeel and a breathable 4.2 oz weight that works year-round—on its own in warm weather or layered when it cools down. Side seams, shoulder taping, and a tear-away label keep the fit neat and comfortable through repeat washes.

A Big Thank You! Your Purchase Matters

Thank you for helping us support local across the United States. When you choose this tshirt, you’re adding a great-looking staple to your wardrobe and helping Local Only Supply x UnitedStatesDirect back local businesses and community organizations in communities across America. Your purchase genuinely helps keep that mission moving forward.

Made to Order – A Better Way

We don’t mass-produce big runs and hope they sell. Each piece is printed to order when you buy it, so the design and color you choose are made specifically for you, not pulled from leftover stock. That lets us offer more thoughtful color pairings and location designs than traditional inventory, and serve smaller places and communities that big brands overlook. Printing only when there’s real demand helps reduce overproduction and unnecessary waste, and keeps more of the work with fulfillment partners closer to home where we can. Because of this approach, our cancellations and returns work a little differently from big-box retailers; the next section explains how.

Cancellations, Returns & Issues

Each item is printed on demand, so please double-check size, color, and address before ordering.

• Cancellations & changes: Production usually starts within about 2 hours; we can only cancel or edit an order in that window, so contact us immediately if something needs to change.
• Returns & exchanges: We can’t accept returns or exchanges for size, color, or change of mind.
• Damaged or misprinted items: If your order arrives damaged or misprinted, contact us within 30 days with photos. We’ll replace or refund—usually without needing the item returned.
• Print tolerance & delivery: For DTG items, small variations in placement or color are normal and not considered defects. If a package is returned to sender or marked undeliverable, we’ll work with you on the best next step, such as a paid reshipment or a partial refund.

See our Returns & Refund Policy for full details.
