Sic Semper Tyrannis Tee (AOP)

$58.00

This piece has been almost two years in the making. A labor of love that brings together Virginia, vintage, and meaning.

The front shows a crown surrounded by dogwood flowers, a nod to the state flower and a symbol of resilience. The back features a full screen print inspired by the Virginia state flag. The woman you see standing tall is Virtus, the Roman goddess of virtue and courage. She stands over a fallen tyrant whose crown has slipped from his head. It represents the fall of those who abuse power and the rise of truth and justice.

The phrase Sic Semper Tyrannis translates to “Thus always to tyrants.” It means that tyranny never lasts. It is a reminder that freedom, courage, and unity always outlast oppression.

This shirt takes cues from the iconic Nirvana Heart-Shaped Box tee, flipping that raw vintage energy into a Virginia story. It is made for the ones who stay aware, who stand together, and who carry pride in where they come from.

All over screen printed. 100 percent cotton. Limited Quantities Available.
