Thanks, guys! Props to the writers for an awesome writeup.
The Black Knight has a red boar on his chest in the film, so that’s why there are boars on his crest. And no deadly rabbit, because it has nothing to do with the Black Knight directly. Same goes for other references.
Mine has a bloody, chopped-off hand (which was apparently a positive thing according to the history)… but now I feel that we’re not trying hard enough, and we need to lose at least another appendage or two…
LOVE the idea, LOVE the write up (I am personally one of those nerds, as are my best friends). And I love the design… except for the shield. The Black Knight has no shield in the movie. “Coat of (No) Arms” is a clever idea, but I just don’t like the shield design.
Sorry for being a hater =/ I really do like the tee, and I’ll probably wind up getting it anyway (no MP fan could pass up on something like this).
Though I la-la-LOVE this shirt and how it looks, instead of boars, I would have chosen the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog and the Holy Hand Grenade to embellish this stellar coat of no arms. I know, it’s so easy to be an armchair artist, so I’m just going to shut my pie hole and buy two shirts.
I love that the supporters are boars. I’d forgotten that it was a canon costume reference and assumed it referred to the MP quoters. (Traditional heraldry had much worse puns, I swear.)
I was going to pay my electric bill before I laid eyes on this shirt, let’s just hope I can get this comment in before they shut it off and remove my flesh to pay for the bill.
