Our exclusive HISTORY NERD® design with a World War II paratrooper on the front, and on the back, "Operation Overlord", "75", and the dates June 6, 1944 and June 6, 2019 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Operation Overlord, D-Day, and the invasion of Normandy Beach. This is the same design that is on the crew neck shirt.

Includes a special 3" x 4.75" hang tag 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 about the hangtag here.

This same HISTORY NERD® design with a World War II paratrooper is available as a unisex t-shirtcrewneck sweatshirt, and a sticker.

A similar design,  with the words "D-day June 6, 1944" and a WWII Paratrooper is also available as a magnet as well as a bookmark.

The shirt: A super soft 4.3 ounce t-shirt from Next Level that is 60% cotton / 40% polyester jersey and that has been pre-washed to reduce shrinkage. See size chart

Based on the feedback from buyers, one of whom characterized it as more of a "feminine fit," you might want to order a size larger than you would if you were ordering a standard men's/unisex shirt.

If you have never worn a high-quality poly-cotton shirt before, you’ll want to read this first.

More on the commemorative hang tag: A 3" x 4.75" piece of paper, in color, on uncoated stock. Read more about the hangtag here.


Thanks to Ben Powers for his helpful suggestion about the shirt color—not as dark as the shirt we use for the WWII soldier shirt—and for additional information for the hang tag that helps deliver an even more powerful account of what actually happened.

And thanks to Larisa for getting this all going by pointing out the anniversary last fall and encouraging me to come up with a special design even though, up until then, almost all of our designs were focused on the Revolutionary War.

Great addition to the History Nerd Line

I own several shirts from The History List and I have never been disappointed by the quality or the designs. I am especially excited that they expanded their History Nerd line of shirt to include WWII (which is my favorite era). I bought this one and their D-Day vneck which I am excited to get. Once again, the quality and design is superb and I am in History Nerd heaven!

Great shirt for our history adventures!

Love this V neck shirt! It is so soft and comfortable..great for traveling! I would suggest ordering a size up or maybe two if you want a looser fit. The customer service was amazing..the best I've ever had with an online shop! I had to exchange to another size and they went above and beyond to make sure I had my shirt for my upcoming trip!

"History Teacher" V-neck T-Shirt with Ben Franklin - Purple

This is the perfect tee for me! I'm working on my PhD in History, colonial and Revolutionary, and although I'm not a history teacher, I do teach history in my job as a genealogy librarian. The tee is so soft and comfortable; because I'm a big fan of dark purple, I naturally would like to see more purple on the History List!

"Revolutionary Superheroes" Super Shirt!

I love the ladies V-neck version of this awesome shirt depicting the "Revolutionary Superheroes" we history nerds all know and love in a softer, more feminine fit. I will be buying another and am hoping for more color options and maybe a long sleeve version for winter! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Military green v-neck

Love My Shirt!!!

I usually dont order clothes online but I saw the D-Day v-neck shirt, from the History List, and wanted it. The order arrived quickly and the shirt looked amazing. The fabric is soft and breathable. However, I would recommend order a size larger when ordering the v-neck shirts; the fit for the crew neck shirt is accurate (no need to size up for the crew neck). Definitely ordering again from the History List!

History Nerd 75th Ann D-Day t-shirt

I absolutely love this t-shirt! The material is amazingly soft. My favorite part is it says History Nerd on the front because I am a history nerd! So glad I saw this t-shirt advertised on FaceBook. What a great way to promote history.

Cutest tshirt!

I love this shirt! I bought the women's v-neck History Nerd shirt. As another reviewer mentioned, it does seem to run a bit small so order up a size if you want a somewhat looser fit. I may actually order another one in a larger size. If you have an issue with an order or a question, these folks will take care of it immediately. Really great customer service which is so appreciated! Overall wonderful products and I highly recommend!!

History nerd shirt

I have had a great experience with this company. I ordered 2 different styles of the history nerd tee-shirt, unfortunately one didn’t fit correctly, I contacted them and they responded right away and where very helpful. I have ordered from different companies in the past and will definitely order from again. I can’t say enough good things about them.

My favorite!

I’m a history nerd who was raised by a history (teacher) nerd. These shirts are great!!! The history aspect is always a winner and the shirts are always high quality. I’ve ordered several for both me and for my father and I’ve loved every one

Stellar!

The T-shirt product is just perfect, but the caring and timely customer service was really stellar. When the product size I wanted was not available, Lee Wright contacted me directly and advised that a larger size would likely fit as they ran small. When it arrived, together with some fun stickers and magnets just for my trouble, it was indeed the right size. We love you History List...and thank you Lee!

Nice Design!

Love the design and the feel of this shirt, but I'm glad I ordered a larger size than I normally wear because it runs small.
