The Great DJ Hippo Breakout Tee
Refusing to leave. Since 1915.
This isn't just local pride; it's a commitment to a legend. August 1915, the Cole Bros. Circus train stops, and a massive, 6,000-pound hippo doesn't just ask to leave—it Smashes. Through. The. Boxcar.
This tee is a gritty, action-poster-style tribute to the unscripted escape that defined our town. A massive, roaring hippo, complete with a backward cap and bandana (because streetwear irony is eternal), is caught mid-breakout, splintering the wooden side of the train car. History books don't get this intense.
