Wear the Legend of the Original Black Panthers with the 761st Tank Battalion Baseball Jacket

Celebrate the legendary men of the 761st Tank Battalion in bold, classic style with our The Original Black Panthers 761st Tank Battalion Baseball Jacket featuring the African American Heroes design. This premium tribute baseball jacket 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. The classic baseball jacket silhouette gives this tribute piece a timeless, iconic look that pairs the heritage of American sportswear with the extraordinary legacy of Black military excellence.

The 761st Tank Battalion's motto, "Come Out Fighting," defined their approach to every challenge they faced. Fighting for 183 consecutive days across six European countries, they proved beyond any doubt that Black soldiers could perform at the highest level of armored warfare. 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. Despite their extraordinary service, the 761st was not awarded the Presidential Unit Citation until 1978. In 1997, Staff Sergeant Ruben Rivers was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. This baseball jacket is a tribute to their enduring legacy as African American heroes.
