Description: George Washington was known for his horsemanship, and (according to several biographers) for his amazingly muscular thighs. Whether you're belting Hamilton lyrics or reading old thigh-happy biographies of Washington, wearing this in public is sure to be an interesting social experiment.
Description: The Marquis de Lafayette famously toured the United States in 1824 - 1825, and this Lafayette Farewell Tour design celebrates the 200th anniversary of the triumphant US tour of America's favorite fighting Frenchman. The back side (available on t-shirts only) features a list of cities Lafayette visited on his cross-country trek.
Description: This peg-legged philandering "Penman of the Constitution" is the most fascinating Founder most people have never heard of. Gouverneur Morris fully deserves his own musical, though it might be best to cut out his death scene. We certainly didn't shy away from talking about it in one of our favorite episodes, "Gouverneur Morris and the Vampire of Bizarre."
Description: This design is perfect for the history lover who feels like they're living in the Upside Down. Though John Adams didn't invent this famous quote, he famously used it in 1770 when he defended British soldiers for their role in the Boston Massacre, saying "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
Description: As the first Vice President of the United States, John Adams was sometimes called "Daddy Vice," a term he even used himself. Like kids passing notes in class, a Congressman once passed a note with this poem making fun of Adams: "I’ll tell in a trice- ‘Tis old Daddy Vice Who carries of pride an ass-load; Who turns up his nose, Wherever he goes, With vanity swelled like a toad." With this design you can set quite the vice precedent by marrying the best of 1790s New York and 1980s Miami.
