HISTORY NERD® shirt with Ben Franklin - Light red heather
HISTORY NERD® shirt with Ben Franklin - Light red heather
Updated October 19: Only available in Small.
We changed the design slightly and are selling these with the original design. (The difference is pretty subtle. The new design, is here.) It’s a great opportunity to get one of our classic shirts at a great price—but only if you act quickly since we only have a few left.
In the new design, which you can view here, we added some detail to the figure of Ben Franklin.
Our exclusive HISTORY NERD® design with Ben Franklin on a super soft 3.5 ounce t-shirt from Next Level 65% poly / 35% cotton and has been pre-washed to reduce shrinkage.
Find other HISTORY NERD® items in this collection. Including the images of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, a Civil War Soldier, a WWII Paratrooper, WWII Soldier, and more. As well as stickers, magnets, and patches.
Thanks to Blaine Simon for sending your picture wearing the shirt during your visit to The Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum in Rome.

If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

Bought as gift for daughter, great quality and love the graphic. I have 5 different shirts myself that I love showing off. Only negative is not able to try on as every shirt tends to have a different fit and on average the T-shirts run larger.
Thank you for your purchase and review. Regarding the fit, if there is ever an issue, please just let us know (orders@thehistorylist.com) and we'll work with you until you have the right size.
