Updated September 29: We're closing out this design. All shirts are $10 off.
Our original design recognizes the events on Lexington Green and at North Bridge in Concord that took place on April 19, 1775 and marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
"1775" on the front, and on the back, the list of towns who responded to the Lexington Alarm by sending militia companies. (It is not a list of towns where fighting took place.) The list is based on the muster rolls and uses the names of the towns as they were then known. (Regarding Arlington, in 1775 most of present day Arlington was part of Cambridge and called the Menotomy Precinct. It was later incorporated as a separate town, West Cambridge, and later still, the name was changed to Arlington.) Author and historian J.L. Bell has taken a close look at this and written about it here and here.
