Details Reviews Specifications

This design incorporates a depiction found at the Sutton Hoo burial site which is probably of the Anglo-Saxon god Tiw surrounded on either side by wolves. Tiw was the god of war, justice and honour and is possibly the oldest of all the gods worshipped by the early English. From the god Tiw we get the day Tuesday as well as many place names scattered across England. As the god of war he was worshipped and evoked during times of battle. He was the protector of all warriors, but was also said to watch over the disabled, and the left-handed. His runic symbol was stamped onto swords and other weapons to give them strength and to guide their users hand. With the addition of crossed swords this t-shirt proudly depicts the fighting spirit of our ancestors. We have a long tradition of resisting tyranny and oppression.

The word "Englisc", emblazoned across the chest pays homage to Old English tradition (Englisc being the Old English word for English) and creates a strong statement of identity.
