Crowns? We Prefer Claws Since 1776 – Black Cat Rejecting Kings Since 1776 Hat
Front and center prowls a jet-black cat, tail flicked high and eyes narrowed in absolute disdain. One hind paw boots a golden crown clean off its perch, capturing the exact moment monarchy and moggy collide. The arched slogan “Rejecting Kings Since 1776” arcs above and below, turning a simple cap into a snapshot of mischievous dissent.
1776 was more than a date—it marked a seismic shift from royal decree to self-rule. By pairing the year of the Declaration of Independence with a street-smart alley cat, the artwork transforms classroom trivia into wearable satire. It’s a clever homage to every firebrand who insisted that power belongs to the people, not a throne.
Scroll Instagram under #RejectingKings and you’ll spot veterans at Fourth-of-July picnics, indie musicians on tour, and cat-rescue volunteers rocking this very design. Over 1,800 verified buyers rate it 4.9/5 for sparking friendly debates and spontaneous high-fives. One reviewer writes, “Strangers asked for photos—my quiet protest never felt so fun.”
Whether you’re rallying for voting rights, signing petitions for shelter animals, or simply refusing to “kiss the ring” at the office, this hat telegraphs solidarity with anyone challenging outdated hierarchies. Slip it on, tip the brim, and remind the world that independence—like a black cat’s stubborn streak—can’t be domesticated.
