Over the past few years, ULM athletics has been using the P-40’s likeness in uniforms and apparel. As someone who loves the design and the heritage of the P-40, I’m excited for the design to get more attention in the future.
For context, whenever you see an angry plane with shark teeth, you’re looking at the decal of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.
Lt. Gen. Claire Lee Chennault flew the Warhawk along with his “Flying Tigers” airmen in World War II.
They have their roots in the region, so laying claim to the design isn’t an of-the-wall choice.
