This t-shirt design proudly displays the emblem of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 242, the “Bats,” a distinguished squadron of the United States Marine Corps.
Artwork Elements

The bat symbol carries specific connotations: darkness, stealth, and nocturnal operations. This imagery reflects the squadron's capability to operate effectively at any time of day or night and to strike with precision. The dynamic pose of the bat emphasizes the squadron's fighter/attack role, and the spirit of speed, aggression, and relentless pursuit of their mission.
The inclusion of the VMFA-242 designation, prominently displayed, solidifies the shirt's identity. This allows wearers to proudly showcase their connection or affiliation with the esteemed USMC squadron, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 242.
