At the end of their first year, Naval Academy students embark on an epic challenge - climbing the 21-foot Herndon monument, often slippery with vegetable shortening, to place an upperclassman's hat on top and earn the recognition of fourth-class midshipmen.
This tee pays homage to the USN students from 1972 who shattered records with their lightning-fast climb, reaching the summit in just 1 minute and 30 seconds.

- Showcase your admiration for record-breaking achievement.
