VFA-105 Gunslingers Color Changing Mug Design

This striking mug celebrates the rich history and proud legacy of Strike Fighter Squadron 105, the U.S. Navy's Gunslingers. The design takes full advantage of the color-changing technology to bring the squadron's iconic imagery to life.

Dynamic Insignia

The centerpiece of the design is the Gunslingers' famed insignia: a bold six-shooter pistol. This symbol of the squadron's nickname immediately identifies the unit. The color-changing feature cleverly interacts with this element. When cold, the design may appear in muted tones or with a concealed element. As the mug warms and is filled with a hot beverage, the design dynamically transforms. The colors become more vibrant, details emerge, and the full impact of the insignia is revealed.

A Tribute to Service

The design may incorporate elements referencing the squadron's history and missions, subtly appearing when the mug warms. These could include representations of the F/A-18E Super Hornet, the squadron's current aircraft, or silhouettes hinting at the carrier operations undertaken by the Gunslingers. These additions serve to create a dynamic visual narrative that honors the dedication and bravery of the men and women who have served in VFA-105.

The color transformation symbolizes the evolving nature of the squadron's missions and the ever-present readiness of the Gunslingers. It’s more than just a mug; it’s a living tribute to a legendary Navy squadron.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
