come and take it t-shirt!
"Come and take it" was a slogan used in the Texas Revolution in 1835. Tell them today with our Come And Take It T-Shirt! The Mexican Army gave a small cannon to the colony of San Antonio. It was then transported to Gonzales, Texas and was the object of Texas pride. At the Battle of Gonzales, a small group of Texans successfully resisted the Mexican forces who had orders to seize their cannon.
As a symbol of defiance, the Texans fashioned a flag containing the phrase "Come and take it", along with a black star and an image of the cannon which they had received six years earlier from the hands of a Mexican official.
If they had t-shirts back then, I bet they'd all be wearing the Come and Take It T-Shirt!
