The 5th Step - The Theta Man Tank

Legacy was born on the 5th step.

This tank pays homage to the powerful beginnings of Iota Phi Theta® — founded on the 5th step of Hurt Gymnasium in 1963. Designed for the brother who carries that legacy with every stride, it’s bold, breathable, and built for summer.

Premium fabric blend for comfort and durability

Athletic cut with room to move

Minimalist design with historical meaning
