This silly shirt started international outrage and an eventual free speech federal court case when the National Security Agency issued Dan McCall with cease and desist orders for this joke, claiming that he needed special permission from then NSA director Keith Alexander to sell these t-shirts. He sued, and won!
Now this shirt is our little symbol of how even a silly joke can be used to stand up for free speech.
The tri-blend fabric creates a vintage, fitted look. And extreme durability makes this t-shirt withstand repeated washings and still remain super comfortable.
• Tri-blend construction (50% polyester/25% combed ring-spun cotton/25% rayon)
