Pre-Order Breakout Shirts For 2020!
$24.99
DOES NOT SHIP UNTIL BREAKOUT.
|
The current Rat Mass of 2017+3 is supposedly starting to not suck enough that VMI might consider breaking them out eventually.
Maybe. But wouldn't it be a lovely surprise to gift your no-longer-a-Rat a high quality made in the USA American Apparel T-Shirt? 
The back of the shirt contains an American eagle carrying the American flag (because 'murika, that's why). However, the most important detail of the shirt is the soon to be newly obtained status of the Rat Mass of 2017+3, the title they've been straining, pushing, and driving towards since they've matriculated: to be recognized as the Class Of 2020.
As a final touch, I've added the American flag to the right sleeve (not pictured above on the shirts, but an example is displayed to the right), inspired by the flag patch we wear on our ACU uniforms. Plus it would just be wrong not to have a flag on a shirt that is made in the USA. 
(Sleeves show actual color.)
But what does "Pre-Order" mean? I'm only going to order exactly as many shirts as are wanted. This way I'll know what sizes to order. So here's the deal: You have until 6 PM Sunday, January 22nd to place an order. After that I will palace the order and have them shipped to me. Your Rats will receive them after Breakout. If they breakout. Advice: BE CAREFUL WITH SIZING. Last year a lot of 4ths got wonderful shirts, but in a size too big. Rats generally lose fat and gain muscle during the strenuous demands of the Ratline. This typically results in a slimmer waist returning to Mom than left her in August. Keydets generally like a snug look, anyway. Want the shirt to be mailed directly to your son or daughter? Use the following address: Cadet (name) 450 Burma Road Virginia Military Institute VMI Box (box number) Lexington, VA 24450-0304 |
The front of the shirt contains the old VMI battle cry, "Rah Virginia Mil," complete with the familiar rifle that every Keydet has carried at one point of their cadetship: The M14.
But I know what you're saying:
"KL, but how do I let people know I'm a proud American who supports US manufacturing? Well, lucky you (and you better prepare yourself for what I'm about to say,) there's ANOTHER graphic on the left sleeve letting everyone know it was made in the USA! That's right, this shirt has graphics on both the front and back, as well as both sleeves! 
So what else do you need to know about this awesome, motivating, patriotic, American made, Institute shirt for $24.99?
Nothing. Buy it. Plus, I want your money. Did I mention it's made in the USA? What are you, some softbody Academy plebe? BUY MY SHIRT. 2020 shirts are no longer available for pre-order. |
