JOIN, NOT DIVIDE

This design features the original Join, or Die snake—first published by Benjamin Franklin in 1754.

At the time, it was a call for unity among the American colonies. Today, it is not a political statement—and that's exactly the point.

Over the centuries, patriotic symbols have been repurposed, claimed, and weaponized by partisan movements. United Patriot Apparel rejects that hijacking. This mark does not belong to the left or the right. It belongs to the origin story of the United States.

We use the Join, or Die snake not to echo its original political moment, but to honor its historical significance—a reminder that before parties, platforms, and labels, there was a shared belief that unity mattered more than faction.

This design is about:

• 🇺🇸 History over ideology
• 🇺🇸 Unity over division
• 🇺🇸 Country before party

Patriotism doesn't require allegiance to a side. It requires respect for where we came from—and responsibility for where we're going.
