“The Gremlin” Tee – Honoring Emlen Tunnell

Before Emlen Tunnell changed the game in the NFL, he was saving lives in the Coast Guard. Nicknamed “The Gremlin” by shipmates for always being there when danger struck, Tunnell went on to become the first Black player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

This tee pays tribute to his legacy of courage and character—on the water and the field. Simple, bold, and built with Coastie pride.

Note on Fit & Feel:
We use the Bella + Canvas 3001 for its soft feel, lightweight comfort, and clean look. It has a slightly slimmer cut than a standard tee—closer to a retail fit than a boxy one. If you’re between sizes or prefer a roomier feel, we recommend sizing up.

• 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester)
• Fabric weight: 4.2 oz./yd.² (142 g/m²)
• Pre-shrunk fabric
• Side-seamed construction
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping
• Blank product sourced from Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
