A throwback to the unbeatable mythical beast which exists in various cultures including Persian, Greek, Japanese and Egyptian, the Phoenix symbolizes the indomitable spirit of combat soldiers and cage fighters like no other. Ranger Up has managed to take this inspiration and flip it into another great looking graphic tee from the Ranger Up Combatives Collection. Inspired by a T-shirt design originally created for a military Combatives Tournament held in Iraq called “Operation Phoenix”, this updated version features a rising phoenix print on the front, coupled with a classic quote from Ernest Hemingway on the back that reads “A man can be destroyed, but not defeated.”.
