Eastern Cougar Jersey Tee – By Soon to Be Mythical

If you’re into cryptids, conservation, or just wearing your existential dread on your chest, the Eastern Cougar Jersey Tee is your new uniform. This 100% cotton (heathered colors are a cotton blend) tribute to the ghost-cat of the East features a hauntingly realistic graphic of the Eastern Cougar and the text: “Be on the lookout, Eastern Cougar, declared extinct 2011.” It’s a wearable obituary with bite—and a portion of every purchase goes to non-profits fighting to keep other species from slipping into folklore.

Why It’s Tragically Perfect

The Eastern Cougar Jersey Tee is for those who appreciate irony with their activism. Once prowling from Quebec to the Carolinas, the Eastern Cougar was officially declared extinct in 2011. This tee doesn’t just mourn—it mocks the absurdity of losing apex predators in the age of satellite tracking and DNA testing. It’s dark, it’s bold, and it’s painfully relevant.

Endangered Stats

• Species: Puma concolor couguar

• Declared extinct: 2011 by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

• Current sightings: Mostly blurry backyard photos and conspiracy theories

• Conservation status: Extinct, but still protected under the Endangered Species Act (bureaucracy is wild)

Perfect For

• Conservationists with a twisted sense of humor

• Animal lovers who know extinction isn’t just a science term—it’s a punchline

• Fans of ethically made, statement-driven streetwear

• People who swear they saw one in 2003 and will die on that hill

• Anyone who wants to wear a warning label for the planet

The Eastern Cougar Jersey Tee by Soon to Be Mythical is more than a shirt—it’s a snarky salute to a species that deserved better. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and maybe—just maybe—help keep the next one off the extinction list.
