DC Sub Protest Shirt: A Tribute to the Sandwich Guy
Our Sandwich Guy DC Sub Protest Shirt features a clever and eye-catching design that playfully reinterprets the iconic Washington D.C. flag. As seen in the artwork by linoleum hobbyist Lorraine Hu, this unique tee replaces the traditional two red bars of the flag with two vibrant red illustrations of fully-loaded submarine sandwiches. Above these “sub bars” are three bold red stars, mirroring the original flag’s design.

This shirt is a brilliant piece of cultural commentary. It directly references the viral “Sandwich Guy” incident in D.C., where a seemingly simple act of defiance became a national news story. By replacing the flag’s bars with subs, the design wittily connects a moment of individual protest with the broader identity of the city. This creative interpretation adds a layer of humorous rebellion to the flag’s symbolism, appealing to those who appreciate a clever and unconventional approach to local pride and political statement.
This shirt is perfect for residents of Washington D.C., individuals who enjoy political satire and protest art, and anyone with a sense of humor about current events. Wearing this shirt allows you to express your D.C. pride in a unique way, celebrating a specific moment of local notoriety while showcasing an appreciation for creative design.
