Puddle Pirate

Puddle Pirate is calling all Coast Guard squids who know the struggle of defending America's puddles, ponds, and the occasional questionable body of water.

In military slang, a Puddle Pirate is a Coastie - so named because the deep blue sea apparently intimidates them, and they stick to splashing around in puddles instead. It's the kind of ribbing that only makes sense if you've heard someone ask about your last 3-week "deployment" with a straight face. Wear it right and you'll know exactly who's in on the joke.

Whether you're wearing it for a drill weekend, showing it off at a family BBQ, ribbing your Coast Guard buddy at a reunion, or just reminding your squad who really guards the shoreline, this shirt gets the job done.

Keep an eye out for the hidden hare worked into the artwork - it's the Hidden Hare signature, sneaking into every design we drop.

There’s a hare hidden in this drawing, drawn into the linework, never stuck on top. It disappears at a glance and shows up when you look closer.

Tip: open the close-up photo and zoom in.
