Marine Slogans FAQ

What is the official Marine Corps motto?

Semper Fi, short for Semper Fidelis, which means “always faithful.”

Can families add their Marine’s name to the shirts?

Yes. Many families put a motto on the front and their Marine’s name and unit on the back.

When should we order our shirts?

Order a few weeks before you need them. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive in time.

Can I get help with the design?

Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
