Our new D-Day long-sleeved shirt is packed with historical references.
- A C-47, with “Invasion stripes,” along with other planes that were used to transport paratroopers and to tow gliders
- Paratroopers and the drop zones, which were identified by letters
- Barrage balloons that were set up to protect the landing area from enemy planes
- The beaches and nations assigned to each, listed in the order in which the men landing on the beaches saw them.
- The flags of the major allied nations involved in the landing, including the Red Ensign for Canadian troops and the 48-star flag for US troops.
- The sectors for each beach—Starting under Omaha, they are in alphabetic order
- Troops of Company E, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division (the Big Red One), wading onto the Easy Red section of Omaha Beach from the USS Samuel Chase
- Text from the order of the day, which was distributed on the evening before as a printed leaflet to 175,000 members of the Allied forces
- The immense number of troops, planes, and ships involved in D-Day
Notes on the design:
- This design brings together several different elements from D-Day; it's not meant to be a photographic representation of one specific view or scene.
- While "D-Day" was a term used with all operations, not just the landing on Normandy Beach, I chose to use it here because it's become widely identified with this operation.
- "Operation Overlord" was the name of the entire operation to invade Northern Europe, not just the landing. It began on June 6 and ended on August 30, 1944.
- "Operation Neptune" was the name of the operation to transport and land men and materiel on the beach. It ended on June 30.
The shirt:
- Military green — 100% cotton shirt. 4.3 oz. Sizes: S - 3XL.
All shirts are printed in New England.
This design is also available in a crewneck shirt for men and women, women's v-neck shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt.
Included with every shirt: A 3" x 4.75" card with the "Orders of the Day" that went to the troops that morning on one side and, on the other side, the handwritten message that General Eisenhower drafted the night before in the event that the operation was not successful. Read more here.

A final note: Thanks to Larisa for the suggestion of a D-Day shirt back when we were coming up on the 75th anniversary. It became one of our most successful designs ever.
I had always wanted to create another design that took a different approach, and after the very positive response to our Battle of the Bulge design, I began work with the same designer to develop what you see here. Thanks to the folks who reviewed this design and provided feedback, and to everyone who has supported our WWII designs and told us how much they mean to them.

The long-sleeved shirt is great - especially with the phenomenal images and graphics. Minor complaint is the format of the date. I think "6 June 1944" would be preferred over "June 6, 1944". But overall - very happy with the purchase.
Thanks for the quality shirts and keeping history alive.
Excellent graphics on a comfortable shirt. If you’re a WWII history buff this is a shirt you’ll be proud to wear. After visiting the American Cemetery in Normandy and Omaha Beach last year this was an item on my short list when I returned. Although it was not in stock in my size, Lee Wright kept me posted until he got them restocked and I ordered right away. Unique artwork and great addition!
Love these products! The quality is very good.
This is a beautiful made shirt that I’m giving my grandson for Christmas. He is a WWII history nut. I know he’ll love it
I purchased a long sleeve 80th anniversary Operation Overlord shirt. The graphic design is outstanding and the material is so comfortable. So glad I bought this shirt. I wear it with pride.
I ordered 2 size Large D-Day shirts for myself, a short sleeve and a long sleeve. These shirts are AWESOME! They are true to size, made from good materials, and they will be worn a lot in Normandy this year. I am hoping that the hoodie will be available in size Large soon as well, and also that they will all become available in size Small as well so I can get matching ones for my wife who will be attending the event with me this year.
Very nice looking t-shirt like it very much. Thanks
