This Hunger Games shirt by Shop Nylon reads "I Volunteer As Tribute."

Katniss Everdeen is a true hero. She is someone who steps up to the plate and gets sh*t done. In one of the most heart-wrenching scenes of the entire Hunger Games film franchise thus far, Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence) empathetically takes her sister's place in the "reaping."

Lucky for us, we don't live in a [dystopian post-revolution world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrangler-x-the-last-of-us) ruled by the Capitol, so you don't need to be as brave as Katniss to wear [this playful tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection). Whether you're Team Peeta or Team Gale (or just Team Katniss, because I mean, she's the real star of the show here), this shirt is a great way to show some love for the [fantasy series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee).
