AV-8B Harrier II Stars and Stripes Unisex Pullover Hoodie
Designed to replace the AV-8A Harrier and A-4M Skyhawk, the Harrier II used a larger composite wing, improved avionics, greater fuel capacity and a larger weapons load. Its ability to operate from amphibious assault ships, short runways, roads, remote landing sites and damaged airfields made it well suited to Marine expeditionary operations.
The AV-8B served as a close air support and light attack aircraft in Desert Storm, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. During Desert Storm alone, AV-8Bs flew 3,380 sorties and more than 4,000 flight hours, operating from sea bases and forward expeditionary airfields. Later versions included the Night Attack Harrier and the radar-equipped AV-8B Harrier II Plus.
Boeing gives total AV-8B production as 377 aircraft delivered between 1978 and 1995. The U.S. Marine Corps phased out the Harrier as it transitioned to the F-35B Lightning II, which retains short takeoff and vertical landing capability while adding stealth, modern sensors and supersonic performance. The AV-8B Harrier II+ reached the end of its planned U.S. Marine Corps service life in fiscal year 2026.
Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony. This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.
