Joe Louis Fort Riley 1942 Purple Tee

Sporting Icons. American heroes.

“We’re going to do our part…and we’ll win because we’re on God’s side.” –Joe Louis, on serving in the U.S. Army

Muhammad Ali called Joe Louis the “greatest heavyweight fighter ever.” A hero of the boxing ring, the “Brown Bomber” was also an American hero who served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II, having completed his basic training at Fort Riley, Kansas. It was there that he championed the great Jackie Robinson — also stationed at Fort Riley — to become an officer.

In keeping with the spirit of their service, we have partnered with our friends Jay Glazer and Nate Boyer at MVP (Merging Vets and Players). In addition to normal royalties going to the estates of our featured Icons, we will be matching the royalty proceeds and donating them to MVP.

MVP empowers combat veterans and former professional athletes by connecting them after the uniform comes off; providing them with a new team to assist with the transition, promote personal development, and show them they are never alone.

Officially licensed by Joe Louis.
