ABOUT THE DESIGN:
Straight from the alleyways and dark streets of Odessa comes this traditional Russian made "Telnyashka". Standard issued to Russian armed forces, it was made fashionable during the 40's and 50's by hoodlums, hooligans, Thieves, ex-cons and various other colorful characters and is still quite popular today with men and women in Russia.

On the back is the German eagle MIR logo. The German eagle has been around for centuries. The eagle is one of my favorite symbols and it stands for strength, power and anti-establishment. In Russian prison subculture, German symbolism was usually meant to show disdain for the system and the government and I believe that in some societies it is still valid today. The eagle conveys the message "Strike first, Dont wait for them to hit you!"
MIR is a Russian word for "world". But its an acronym for "Menya Ispravit Rastrel" meaning "Execution will Reform Me".

Printed with black and then white to make it stand out on the shirt.
