Honor the Original Black Panthers with the 761st Tank Battalion African American Heroes Hoodie

Celebrate the legendary men of the 761st Tank Battalion with our The Original Black Panthers Hoodie featuring the African American Heroes design. This premium tribute hoodie honors the first African American armored unit to see combat in World War II, the men who chose the black panther as their mascot and wore that identity with fierce pride long before it became a symbol of the civil rights movement. The African American Heroes design celebrates their extraordinary courage, skill, and sacrifice in a warm, comfortable hoodie format that lets you carry their legacy with pride every day.

The 761st Tank Battalion entered combat in France on November 7, 1944, and fought continuously for 183 days across six European countries. Their motto, "Come Out Fighting," defined their approach to every challenge they faced, whether the enemy fire of Nazi Germany or the racial discrimination of a segregated U.S. Army. They fought in the Battle of the Bulge, helped liberate several Nazi concentration camps, and linked up with Soviet forces at the end of the war. Staff Sergeant Ruben Rivers, who continued to fight despite a severe wound until he was killed in action, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1997. This hoodie is a tribute to Rivers and all the African American heroes of the 761st.
