The bulldog has always projected a certain unimpressed confidence — and pairing that energy with a firecracker label is either the most American thing imaginable or proof that the mid-century packaging industry had a genuine sense of humor. Probably both. Bulldog Firecrackers delivers on both counts.
Printed on a Comfort Colors 9360 garment-dyed tank — 100% ringspun US cotton, 6.1oz, relaxed unisex fit with a soft vintage wash finish that looks broken-in from the first wear. Available in multiple colors. DTG printed, machine washable cold, tumble dry low.
American fireworks label art from the 1940s through the 1960s ran on bold illustration, bright color, and mascots that meant business. The bulldog was a natural fit — tough, loyal, and recognizable at a glance. These labels are artifacts of an era when packaging was designed to stop you in your tracks at the stand, and the artwork was taken seriously enough to hire real illustrators for the job.
The perfect gift for vintage fireworks and label collectors, 4th of July enthusiasts, dog lovers who appreciate a good mascot, fans of mid-century American commercial art, and anyone who likes their summer wear with a little attitude.
The Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American art alive, one product at a time.
