The 4th of July is a special holiday. It's the one day of the year that can turn even the most commie-sympathizing, "It's stupid to celebrate a country just because you were born there"-saying, bald eagle-hating wet blanket among us into a true blue patriot.
As soon as one hears the first notes of the Star Spangled Banner and the smoke rising from the day's first barbecue, one can't help but almost get a little misty-eyed with love for the US of A.
Notice we saidalmost. It's a day of pride, not tears. And frankly, crying in public is a tad un-American. But you get the point... The 4th of July is more than just a holiday—it's a feeling.
You know what is truly American, though? Besides apple pie, freedom, the Stars and Stripes, it's wearing a shirt on the 4th of July that says, "I'm a proud American. And I like corny jokes."
That's right, dressing for Independence Day is an important tradition. Every 3rd of July, millions of us across America stand in front of our closets thinking,"Do I wear theTastes Like Freedom shirt again tomorrow? Or try something new this year with the Drinking Like Lincoln t shirt?"
The patriotic 4th of July outfit goes hand in hand with having a good time. Some say it's as integral a part of the holiday as the Christmas tree is to Christmas. For many, it's not just about saying you're here to have a good time—it's about saying, I'm ready to getStar Spangled Hammered.
No one really knows where the tradition of wearing a funny 4th of July shirt came from, but it's here to stay. Don't believe us? Try showing up to the cookout in—I don't know—a French soccer jersey... Let's just say you won't be the most popular person in attendance.
We recommend instead something that lets everyone know you've got something to offer—something likeskills on the grill, the willingness to risk losing fingers in the name of fireworks, or even just the ability tofinish any leftover beer hanging around.
Whether you prefer your 4th of July t-shirts bold and patriotic or loud andfreedom-loving, make sure they're red, white, and blue.
No matter if you're from the East Coast, West Coast, the big city, or out in the country, we can all watch the Independence Day parade go by and think, "I wish this would go by faster so I can get back topartying like it's 1776."
That's because the 4th of July and 4th of July party shirts, by extension, are about bringing people together. Life is about connecting with those around you, and what better way to foster a new connection than by complimenting a stranger's red, white, and bluetuxedo t shirt?
The perfect 4th of July shirt isn't just stylish and funny; it's a conversation starter too. You're just some guy without that "I'm not drunk, I'm American" shirt. But with it, you're the guy who got the party going with his uniquely positive, patriotic-as-hell, contagious Independence Day vibes.
Wear it to the parade, the BBQ, the beach, and the after-party. Although maybe swap it out for theBeer, Barbecue, Fireworks shirt (also in red, white, and blue) that you packed as a backup in case it gets soaked in beer.
So this holiday, let your freedom shirt be a beacon of joy. Wear it with pride in a way that says, "Join me, fellow American!" Whether it's a nod to theFounding Fathers, a brag about our world-superiorfootball culture, or just abirthday wish to the greatest country in America—wearing your shirt with pride will make the occasion all the more fun.
You might think we're being a bit dramatic. To that, we say, what are you, some kind of communist? Kidding.
But for real, we've got a lot to be proud of here in America. Our appreciation for them builds up from mid-July to early June and spills out of us on July 4th in the form of outrageous (yet stylish and hilarious) t-shirts.
Things like thegreat historical figures who built this nation. Our sophisticated pastimes, likebeer pong. Proudly measuring things in non-sensical units (screw you,metric system!). And even things that maybe aren't uniquely American but definitely feel like they are—likefighter jets.
The point is, we've got a lot to show for our two-hundred-and-whatever years since we left British rule. We could've rested on our laurels after kicking those limeys out, but we got to work.
Doing what, you ask? How about winning Super Bowls and makinggreat TV shows, for starters? We even carved the heads offour guys into a mountain.
We're sure there are more potentially important accomplishments from great American men and women, but like we said, the 4th of July isn't about trivia. It's about pride, patriotism, and partying.
True, there have been some hiccups throughout our history—but in the words of someone wise—what doesn't kill you makes you aboss babe. We overcome adversity, and we get together to celebrate our achievements.
You might have figured it out by now—we like the 4th of July. A lot. That's why we made what some might call the best collection of funny patriotic t-shirts.
How patriotic are they, you say? Let's just say you'd barely be any more patriotic if, instead of one of our shirts, you were wrapped in just an American flag, holding the Constitution, with a bald eagle perched on your shoulder. While eating a hamburger. On a Harley-Davidson.
So, without further ado, here are our 7 best patriotic t-shirts for the holiday:
