Mad Morrigan Apparel™ mens "Irish Coat of Arms" Navy Blue colored T-shirt with designs on Front and Back in White.
Front Graphic is of a crest with Ireland's three provinces and Donegal followed by the Irish Gaelic phrase; "De Shliocht Éireannach"
Translation;"Of Irish Descent/Of Irish Blood"

A shield with the symbols of the three Irish Provinces and Donegal donned with two Irish “hand and a half” swords. These swords where used by the most ferocius warriors that would become Gallóglaigh (Gallowglass). Mounted above the shield, is a common Gallóglaigh helmet.
The Gallóglaigh was a mercenary warrior élite among Gaelic clans residing in the Western Isles of Scotland (or, Hebrides) and Scottish Highlands from the mid 13th century to the end of the 16th century.

As Scots, they were Gaels and shared a common origin, language and heritage with the Irish. An Irish chieftain would often select a gallowglass to serve as his personal aide and bodyguard, because as a foreigner, the gallowglass would be less subject to local feuds and influences.
Though initially they were mercenaries, over time they settled and their ranks became filled with native Irish men.

Back Graphic is of two Irish "hand and a half" swords weeved into knotwork.
Machine washable. Highest quality, 100% ring spun Cotton.

Mad Morrigan Apparel™ army green t-shirt with designs on front chest of a Harp circled in barbed wire with the harp strings resembling prison bars.
Around Harp and barbed wire graphic is the Irish Gaelic Phrase;
"Riamh nár dhruid ó spairn lann."

Back design with the poem;
But I will wear no convict's uniform,
Nor meekly serve my time,
That britain may call Ireland's fight,
Eight hundred years of crime.

Numbered in Irish the details of the 10 Extremely Brave Hunger Strikers name, date and age at death, and length of fast duration.

In 1981, ten men sacrificed their lives for the freedoms of many; in a hunger strike at the H-Blocks of Long Kesh Prison, Occupied North of Ireland. One by one, ten young men embarked on the agonizing protest of hunger strike until death to secure the basic human rights and dignity of Political Status for all Irish Republican Political Prisoners.

Earlier efforts at obtaining Political Status had met with unfulfilled promises from the British government. A Blanket Protest and No-Wash Protest, followed by the unimaginably difficult Dirty Protest, had galvanized the male and female Republican prisoners for five long years but had resulted in no real gains toward Political Status. A decision was made by the prisoners to Hunger Strike.

Their Five Demands were:
• The right not to wear a prisoner uniform
• The right to free association with Republican political prisoners
• The right as political prisoners not to do prison work
• The right to organize their own educational and recreational facilities
• The right to one weekly visit, letter and parcel

On March 1, 1981, Bobby Sands refused food; five years to the day of the revoking of Special Category Status, which had ended Political Status for Irish Republican prisoners in 1976. On March 15 Francis Hughes began refusing food, followed by Raymond McCreesh and Patsy O'Hara on March 22nd. On April 9, a dying Bobby Sands was elected to Parliament for the district of Fermanagh. Joe McDonnell began refusing food on May 8; three days after Bobby Sands' death. He was followed by Kieran Doherty on May 22nd and Martin Hurson on May 28th. Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty, Thomas McElwee, and Michael Devine joined the Hunger Strikes in stages shortly thereafter.

And one by one they died; with no reaction whatsoever from the British government. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would only say "Murder is Murder"; a hypocrisy in itself from a woman who authorized a Shoot-to-Kill policy against innocent Irish civilians and would let ten young men, including an elected member of her own Parliament, die of starvation in her own jails.

Nationalist population of Ireland became clear when Bobby Sands was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) during a by-election for the Fermanagh / South Tyrone seat and two other hunger strikers were elected as Teachta Dáil (TDs) in a general election in the Republic of Ireland.

Outrage over the deaths swept the globe. One hundred thousand mourners attended Bobby Sands funeral in Belfast, and riots were sparked across Ireland. In Dublin, protesters nearly succeeded in burning the British Embassy to the ground. Massive marches in support of the prisoners were held in Mexico, Spain, Britain and the United States. In the U.S. protests were staged in front of British embassies lasting the duration of the hunger strikes.

Facing mounting pressure and the condemnation of the world, the British government finally agreed to a series of the prisoners' demands, and on October 3rd, 1981, the Hunger Strikes were finally called off. At that time six more prisoners still remained on Hunger Strike, prepared to die if necessary. The five-years-long Blanket protests were ended a few days later.

Won with the blood of ten Irish men, Political Status was finally restored to Irish Republican political prisoners.
