Polar bear Greenland is not American T-Shirt
The logic of the ice is not the logic of the bank. The bank has hours; the ice has eons. The Polar Bear is not a tenant; he is the landlord who lost the keys to the front door but refuses to leave the porch.
The Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) has no pockets. Where would he put the money? The very idea is a farce! He walks upon the frozen ocean, which is a country with no borders and no president. In the deep mythology of the Inuit, he is Nanook (or Nanuq), the Master of Bears. Nanook decides who succeeds and who fails. He does not sign treaties. He does not understand the concept of a "down payment."
To offer to buy his house is to insult the silence of the Arctic. It is like trying to purchase the color white or the sound of the wind. It is an administrative error of cosmic proportions. The 56,000 humans in Greenland agree with the bear: the island is not a commodity. It is a place where the sun sometimes forgets to rise, and sometimes forgets to set, because time there is not money—time is just time.
Wear this shirt to display your allegiance to Nanook. Wear it to remind the world that while maps can be redrawn, the dignity of the bear is non-negotiable. This shirt is made of fabric that exists in three dimensions, unlike the imaginary deal to buy the world's largest island.
Why you must possess this object:
Anthropological Depth: References Nanook, the Inuit master of bears who requires respect, not real estate agents. If you do not respect him, he will not let you catch the seal. It is very simple economics.
Political Satire: A wearable rejection of the absurd notion that sovereign nations can be bought like used cars.
Existential Comfort: It covers the torso. Without it, you are merely a biped shivering in the void. With it, you are a statement.

I found the shirt quality itself to be well made. Unfortunately I found that the image quality of the artwork is low resoultion. So the art and words aren't as clear. I probably wont buy another shirt to be honest, but I'm glad I supported the podcast of which I'm a fan of. I was just hoping that for the price I paid, it would have been of better quality.

this was good quality and perfect colour. Printing was great although when we all opened our secret santa gifts one of the other mechanics commented whoever got that for him missed out part time after the word mechanic
Sorry I don't have any photos

Being a gift I was apprehensive regarding Quality size printing and delivery on time
I need not have worried. Colour was perfect true to the photo and ex quality Being a heavier weight the t shirt probably more suitable for New Zealand’s Autumn and Winter
Excellent printing quality
