Bold. Defiant. Unmistakably American.
The line between history and modern resolve meets steel and thunder in this Powder & Lead exclusive — a fresh take on the legendary “Come and Take It” flag. Where the Gonzales cannon once stood as a symbol of defiance, now roars the silhouette of modern firepower — a main battle tank, gun forward, standing firm beneath the lone star.
This shirt isn’t for the timid. It’s for those who understand that liberty, once won, must be defended — that the spirit of 1835 lives on not in words, but in will. Whether you wear it on the range, at the rally, or under the open sky, it carries a message older than the Republic and stronger than steel: freedom isn’t granted — it’s held.
Design StoryInspired by the original Texas Revolution “Come and Take It” flag, this design reimagines the historic symbol for the modern age. The star remains — a mark of unity, independence, and courage. But beneath it stands a modern armored icon: the tank, silhouette sharp against the field, cannon forward in silent challenge.
It’s an unmistakable evolution — from black powder to modern might — a declaration that the same defiant heartbeat that echoed through Gonzales in 1835 still drives every American who values independence and the right to defend it.
The clean, minimalist artwork printed in bold black on a white or military-gray field gives the design a timeless edge — simple, powerful, and instantly recognizable.
