1863 Designs

Recent commission completed for NGP History Project! Make sure you read the post below for more details!

The 2026 NGP Preservation & Education Campaign shirt design is here—and we couldn’t be more excited to share it!

This year’s artwork, created by our friend Ty at 1863 Designs, features a 28th Division doughboy advancing with a fixed bayonet over the red 28th Infantry Division keystone. The design will appear on the left chest of a green t‑shirt matched as closely as possible to an authentic WWI uniform shade.

In the summer of 1918, Pennsylvania National Guard units fought through the streets of Fismes and Fismette in brutal, close‑quarters action that demanded small‑unit initiative, steady leadership at the squad and platoon level, and extraordinary demonstrations of sacrifice and heroism. Ty’s first WWI commission captures that spirit perfectly, portraying a stern, determined guardsman advancing into the fight.

Later today we’ll post ordering information for this year’s campaign. We will only share official details on our social media accounts and our website. We are not working through any third parties—please disregard and report scam bots if you see them advertising shirts.

The shirt campaign runs from July 3rd through close of business on Saturday, September 1st. Shirts will be ordered the morning of the 2nd, and sent to you as soon as they arrive at our HQ and they have been inspected, packed and mailed out. As a 501(c)(3) non‑profit organization, your donation is also tax‑deductible.

ORDERING IS NOW LIVE! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ErUwPujtu/
