The Franklin 250 | Crewneck Sweatshirt
The Franklin 250 | Crewneck Sweatshirt
In 1754, Benjamin Franklin published the famous "Join, or Die" cartoon—a segmented snake representing the American colonies and a call for unity. More than twenty years before the Declaration of Independence, it became one of the earliest symbols of a shared American identity.
This design reimagines Franklin's original snake as "250" in honor of America's 250th anniversary. Featuring the original colony abbreviations and a vintage engraving style inspired by early American printmaking, it's a tribute to the idea that helped shape a nation:
United, we are stronger.
