The phrase comes from the jungles of Vietnam.

When the M60 opened up at cyclic rate, tracer rounds arced through the darkness in a blazing tail — the rooster tail. The enemy feared it. To silence it, they had to snuff the rooster.

They never could.

This shirt is a tribute to that spirit — to the machine gunners, the fighters, the ones who held the line when everything went sideways.

To the stubborn.

To the fighters.

To the ones who still light the match, even when the world’s soaked in gasoline. This one's made for patriots who never take a knee.
