Goodnight Chinese Spy Balloon T-Shirt

Description

This Chinese spy balloon t-shirt borrows the cadence of Goodnight Moon, Margaret Wise Brown’s 1947 picture book, and aims it at a much later flight. A white high-altitude balloon with a small payload hangs over the lines “Goodnight room / Goodnight moon / Goodnight Chinese spy balloon.”

In early February 2023 a Chinese surveillance balloon crossed the United States and was shot down on February 4 off the coast of South Carolina. The shirt treats that week like a bedtime story.

A small Badgerhound shield sits on the left sleeve.
