The Story Behind the Shirt

When the whole world goes wrong, one man with the truth is a majority. Athanasius contra mundum — Athanasius against the world. When nearly the whole empire, bishops included, slid into the Arian lie that Christ was less than God, one bishop of Alexandria refused to bend. Exiled five times. Vindicated forever. The Creed you profess on Sunday is his victory.

On the back: the Cross planted on the rock, storm waves breaking around it, light driving through above — the truth standing while the world rages. On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand. More Catholic t-shirts made in America.

Built like a conviction: printed on the Bayside 5100 — 100% US-grown cotton, spun, knit, cut, and sewn on American soil, then printed to order in the USA. Dirt to shirt, no exceptions. Veteran-owned. Est. 1765.
