"Ordered the D-Day Shirt and the 80th anniversary D-Day special edition shirt and to say they are "awesome" doesn't due justice to them. So glad I found this site. My Dad landed on Omaha Beach that day and these shirts are a great honor and tribute to him and all the men who took part in Operation Overlord."
— Richard S. ★★★★★
Over the left chest, a tattered US flag that was on Landing craft Control 60, which landed men on Omaha Beach on D-Day, along with two "Czech hedgehogs," which were some of the thousands of barriers that men had to overcome to reach the beach.
- 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 (O, N , T, W, A, C, D, E)
- 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.
Your choice of these shirts:
- Military green — Sizes XS - 3XL: 100% Made in America. This 100% cotton shirt is knitted, dyed, and sewn in America and printed in New England. 4.4 oz.
- Military green — Sizes 4XL and 5XL: 100% heavyweight cotton shirt. Imported. 6.1 oz. Printed in New England
A note on Made in America: We are working to use only Made in America shirts for our D-Day design (as well as many other designs). We are also working to expand our size range up to 5X. Because the Made in America line of shirts we use for standard Military Green doesn't have sizes above 3XL, we have to use an imported shirt for 4XL and 5XL.
Other shirt styles: This design is also available in a women's v-neck shirt, a long-sleeved shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt.
Included with every shirt:

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.

Look no further for the perfect shirt. This one is soft, the colors are bold and the message is clear. I bought this shirt for my son, who is a WWII enthusiast. He wears it once a week.
Proud to show my thanks for the sacrifice of the best generation ever.
Wonderful graphics. Fit is good with good length. It is a thicker cotton (isn’t bad at all but I typically prefer a lighter, softer material). Overall I really cool shirt representing one of the most important events in history. Very happy with it and just ordered the Battle if the Bulge shirt as well.
This is a GREAT SHIRT. Super comfortable, great fitting and well tailored. The Art Work Is Outstanding. MORE than worth its cost!
I wasn’t born on June 6, 1944 but I’m grateful for the veterans who fought at the Normandy beaches. We all owe them a debt of gratitude. The D-Day shirts help me keep their memories alive. The information depicting the various services involved is an icebreaker for a more in-depth conversation. It’s a well thought out graphic that combines iconic images and facts.
As a lifelong history enthusiast, I’ve always found it difficult to find apparel that strikes the right balance between great design and historical significance. Even at major sites like Gettysburg, I rarely find something I’d actually want to wear. The History List has completely solved that problem. Their designs are fantastic—I already own or have my eye on over a dozen items. Beyond the aesthetics, the quality of the shirts is excellent; they hold up well to frequent wear, and they’ve even become a favorite gift for my father. I highly recommend them!
Love the content and graphics. Sizing is true .
I’ve purchased 3 of these shirts so far for my son.
This is his favorite shirt.
D-Day Operation Overlord Shirt — Made in America
Great shirt, true to fit, excellent graphics
I ordered my shirt just a few days before D-Day and it arrived on D-Day morning, perfect timing! This is the second shirt I have ordered from The History List, and they do not disappoint. The fit is perfect, and the weight is good for summer weather. Nicely printed graphics make these shirts stand out. I will be purchasing more in the future.
Beautiful, fits well and fabric is breathable without being thin.
Love it!
Love the shirt. Very comfortable and fits well.
Excellent quality shirt and printing of the decals, there's alot of detail! Very nice!
D-Day Operation Overlord Shirt – Made in America
Great shirt!
D-Day Operation Overlord Shirt – Made in America
Love this shirt. Already bought two others. Fits perfectly
My grandfather was with the 29th Div during WWII. This shirt is a great tribute to the Allies who invaded France during Operation Overlord. The shirt is very well made. Thank you for creating this. ☺️
Love the design, colors, and fabric. Shirt is very soft and washes well
I bought this shirt for my son-in-law for Christmas. I’m pleased with the shirt and think he will be too.
The shirts are of great quality. We ordered 3 of the same Tshirt for my husband and two other family members. So many details on the shirt! There was a question about what some letters on the back meant. I sent a message to History List’s email and the next day received two pictures of maps as well as a message letting us know that the letters stood for the different paratroopers’ drop points. Where else do you get excellent customer service like this!
Comfortable shirt, cool graphics. Don't forget those soldiers.
Great product, great graphics and I look forward to purchasing the Bukge and Market Guard shirt.
Love it but…. Wish it was a thicker and a bit longer to cover our older men’s belly when you raise your arms while working out!!
It is a great product since I love history.
T shirt fit perfect
The shirt fits well and the cotton is soft and comfortable.
I love that these shirts are made in America!! Well made and high quality. This was a gift for my son, a WWll buff. My dad served in the war and my son is the keeper of his war medals, etc.
We must remember and keep history alive. This company does that in a beautiful and meaningful way.
I love my shirt and wear it with pride! Understated yet to the point, it shows the immensity of the heroism involved to make Overlord happen.
Awesome shirt.i was there for the 75th.wish I could have been there for 80th.god bless those guys.they went through hell.
