The Day Elephants Crossed the Cortez Bridge — 1957
Locals still talk about it — the day the Ringling elephants marched across the brand-new Cortez Bridge back in 1957. It wasn’t your typical ribbon-cutting. The village did it their way — bold, salty, and unforgettable.
This shirt tips its hat to that wild slice of Cortez history. Printed with a vintage-inspired sketch of those elephants making their famous crossing, it’s more than just a tee — it’s a conversation starter for anyone who knows Cortez runs on stubbornness, saltwater, and stories that never wash away.
Soft. Faded. Like it’s been riding on a shrimp boat for the last 20 years.
Limited run — just like that bridge dedication.
