A cannon on a fortified green hilltop overlooks the harbor as three sailing ships head out to sea at sunrise, under an arc of thirteen stars and an early striped flag: a historic Evacuation Day jersey for March 17, 1776. The Evacuation Day Original Hockey Jersey is a custom Evacuation Day hockey jersey with your own name and number printed FREE, made in sizes XS to 6XL and four colors: Colonial Navy, Parchment Cream, Brick Red and Harbor Teal. It is a festive fan shirt and premium piece of sports apparel for game day, the rink, Evacuation Day celebrations and family gatherings, and it works just as well as a matching team jersey.
The Artwork
The sublimated design is built around a large round chest crest with a beaded ring, small cannon ornaments around the edge and a swallowtail banner reading 1776. Inside the crest: a dark cannon on a wooden-wheeled carriage behind an earthwork wall on a green hill, a red-and-white striped flag with a blue corner on a pole, three tall sailing ships with cream sails heading out across a teal harbor, a soft sunrise and an arc of thirteen navy stars. Crisp patterned stripes run around the sleeves and hem, and the back stays clean with plenty of open space for your name and number. It is an original Evacuation Day design with no team, league or brand marks.
- Front: the Evacuation Day crest centered on the chest
- Sleeves and hem: layered stripes with a repeating cannon pattern band
- Back: your name arched across the shoulders over a big outlined number, with a small cannon just under the collar (pictured with a sample name and 00)
What it means
Evacuation Day on March 17 remembers the day in 1776 when, after cannons were set on Dorchester Heights, British forces sailed out of Boston Harbor. It is still marked in Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
