African Heritage Gifts: Flag T-Shirts for Roots Across Africa
Aktie
Nigeria marks its independence on October 1, Uganda on October 9, Kenya on December 12. Ghana, on March 6, 1957, became the first Sub-Saharan African country to gain independence. Many families in the United States celebrate these dates every year.
Each shirt carries the flag, the country's name and the date it began, with a design drawn from its own symbols. For many families a country is a very specific place, so we make a shirt for each.
When to give it
- Independence Day celebrations in October and December
- A community or church event
- A graduation gift
- A gift for a family member visiting home
Heritage shirts for African roots
How to choose
Start with the place they talk about most. If the roots are mixed, pick the one that comes up at family dinners. The "EST." date printed on the front is a good conversation starter. Shirts are made to order, so order early in the season; our shipping page has the current delivery details.
