Hey there,
Some of y’all may remember me as I had the first V1 GFC ever made and the new topper. For those that don’t, I’m Jim Bob and have been spreading the good word of “I Brake for Snakes” to help raise awareness while on trail for our legless friends. I was always wanting to create a shirt that would help raise awareness for snakes in a way that would resonate with the offroad community and after nearly a year of planning and working with my friend Paul Silva on a design we came up with this! Paul did a great job working with me to make this a reality. I got High Desert Print Co based out of Cuyama, CA to bring it into fruition! This is a hand silk-screened shirt that was 7+ screens on Gildan SuperSoft 6oz shirts, not a cheap digital transfer so these were made to last. Help raise awareness and Brake for Snakes, as always thanks for the support!
I got new shirts made and they’re up on the site! This time they’re on black comfort colors which are combed cotton so a much nicer fit and feel to the Gildans. Only a handful of smaller sizes left!
Cool t-shirt! I don’t get the brake for snakes part and bringing awareness about snakes? Is the off-road community killing off the snake population or something?
Snakes are integral to their ecosystems and often times people on trails like to kill snakes, it’s a macho hardheaded mentality thing so it’s just a way to bring light to the fact that braking for a snake to cross a trail is a good thing.
A long time ago - a guy in my unit - Colonel’s driver, used to intentionally veer into bar ditches, etc., to run over snakes, armadillo’s, skunks, or whatever attempted to get away. Pissed me off so badly, what was worse is that it was encouraged by the COL and other jackasses. Even as far as stenciling the creatures hit like downed pilots. Douches. Down here in OK, TX, that shit’s like a sport. Just ignorance. - A seemingly overwhelming amount of ignorance is concentrated down here.
Oh, I’m well aware I’m from Texas and grew up on my family’s acre cattle ranch. That’s actually where my love for snakes developed as I used to relocate snakes that the ranchers wanted to kill. Appreciate the support! I also just got hats back in stock, and a quick ethics statement. I don’t put my name, website, or anything on my merch because I am not trying to promote myself I just want to make cool snake related merch for people!
@JimBob just got mine and am stoked, really high quality shirt and print. I have a silver 2nd gen so looks a lot like my rig. The only problem is my two year old is on the ground crying it wasnt for him, lol, might have to buy another shirt and make a patch for the back of his jacket!
lol
