New Release!

Join or Die

Price range: $29.95 through $31.95

Stand united with Join or Die by Relentless Defender, a modern redesign of one of our most popular legacy RDA designs. Inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s iconic 1754 “Join, or Die.” political cartoon, this artwork honors the spirit of American unity that helped lay the foundation for our nation’s fight for independence. Reimagined with updated artwork and refined details, this new version preserves the timeless message while giving the classic design a fresh look for today’s patriots.

The centerpiece of the design features the famous segmented rattlesnake, with each section representing one of the original American colonies. Above the artwork, Franklin’s historic call to action “JOIN, or DIE.” serves as a reminder that strength comes through unity. The distressed monochrome print gives the shirt a clean, vintage appearance that pairs perfectly with its historical inspiration.

Originally released years ago as an RDA favorite, Join or Die returns by popular demand in this completely refreshed design. It was also selected as our August Subscription Shirt, making it an exclusive release for members of the Relentless Defender community before becoming available to everyone.

Whether you’re passionate about American history, constitutional freedoms, or simply appreciate meaningful patriotic artwork, this shirt makes a bold statement without saying a word.

Own the redesign of a Relentless Defender classic and wear a piece of American history with Join or Die.

Cut & Materials

We don’t just slap designs on shirts! Most of our artwork is unique and hand-drawn by our insanely talented artists, and we use top-tier real screen printing (not that digital print BS) to make sure every detail pops. No blurry junk here — just bold, crisp graphics that hold up wash after wash.

Our tees are made with the good stuff:

  • Premium 60/40 blend of combed, ring-spun cotton and polyester — soft, stretchy, and breathable.

  • Athletic cut — fitted to make you look sharp. Prefer a looser fit? Go up a size.

  • Tear-away tags — because no one has time for itchy necks.

  • Double-needle stitching — built to last through whatever you throw at it.

  • Machine wash cold & tumble dry low — easy care for your everyday gear.

Bottom line: Our shirts feel just as good as they look — and they’re made to be worn, not babied!

Size Chart – Let’s Keep It Real

All of our shirts are unisex, which means they’re made to look great on anyone — whether you’re built like a linebacker or a latte-loving bookworm. We keep things simple, but stylish. That said, sizes are estimates, not science. If you’re on the fence between two, we recommend sizing up — especially if you’re not into the fitted look.

Our tees are made with an athletic cut — a little more tailored through the body, with slimmer sleeves that show off the work you’ve been putting in (or at least make it look like you have).

As for the size chart visuals:
Yes, you saw those lovely models. And no, we did not include weight or height labels for the women — because we like sleeping indoors and refuse to be in the dog house. So please… use the photos for reference, trust your gut, and if all else fails, hit us up — we’ve got your back.

Now go forth and choose wisely. Your perfect fit is waiting.

Production Policy

We know you’re excited to get your gear, and we’re just as excited to send it. For most in-stock items, we our tail off to ship the same day you order — because nobody likes waiting. That said, weekends, holidays, or an unexpected avalanche of orders (it happens!) might slow things down just a bit. If something you grabbed is out of stock or needs to be made just for you, it might take a few extra days. We’ll keep things moving and keep you in the loop.


Shipping Policy

We ship with USPS and UPS — the usual suspects. Once your package leaves our hands, it’s off on its own adventure. You’ll get a tracking number (or you can log into your account) so you can follow along like a proud parent.

Now, as much as we’d love to command the shipping universe (if we did, it would obviously be RELENTLESS), we don’t control what happens once your package is in the hands of USPS or UPS. If it gets delayed, misdelivered (especially if there was a typo in the shipping address), or vanishes into the shipping void — we feel your pain and we’ve got your back. While we can’t take official responsibility after handoff, we’ll help however we can — including pointing you in the right direction to file a claim and offering moral support while you yell at your mailbox.

Unless… you added Shielded Shipping™ at checkout for just $0.92 — then you’re in luck. If your package is confirmed lost, we’ll ship you a replacement. No hoops, no headaches. Just relentless support.
