Trivia

  • The name of this item is a reference to the Founding Fathers, political leaders and statesmen of United States who participated in the American Revolution.
  • The original name of this item was a reference to the American patriotic songs "Yankee Doodle" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" as well as Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee.
  • This item, together with Valley Forge and Colonial Clogs, was a part of Svdl's "Father of a Nation" Soldier set.
    • Originally, this item also included white hair, which was removed and added to Valley Forge, because it made the item's polycount too high for the importer tool. The textures for the Founding Father still reflects this.
