Why All Brits Should Wear A Blue Bloody Supermarine S6B Schneider Trophy Winner Sweatshirt

Because you shall never surrender.

And that day you were there, with Lady Houston and “The Flight” guys, taking the Victory.

On September 13, 1931, you did not miss the appointment with History. And it is no coincidence that you were alone, without opponents, nor a disgrace. On the contrary, that day represented exactly the meaning of what it means to be there as a Country when needed.
It meant what Winston Churchill would have said.

“Being there” is an opportunity that not everyone knows how to grasp.
Not for nothing that day we Italians were not there to contend with you the Victory. And this is still today the sign of our nation’s weakness. Too much times we are not there when needed.

That’s why we designed and are now telling you should wear this Sweatshirt and be proud of your blue blood, that of a people that knows how to close the ranks when needed. Wear the colors of your Victory, be aware and proud of it.

We, as an adversary who did not know how to be there, we give you Respect and express the regret of not having been able to beat you. We would like to have a Sweatshirt like this one to wear.

“ When Napoleon lay at Boulogne for a year with his flat-bottomed boats and his Grand Army, he was told by someone, “there are bitter weeds in England.” There are certainly a great many more of them since the British Expeditionary Force returned.
So I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Island Home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.
The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
We shall fight on the seas and oceans,
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
We shall fight on the beaches,
We shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
We shall fight in the hills;
We shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

Winston Churchill
