Designed to celebrate Pope Francis’ historic visit to Philadelphia in September, 2015, our series of commemorative Pope Francis PHAG tag tees are all Limited Editions- so here’s your chance to own a unique piece of history celebrating The People’s Pope!
Elected Supreme Pontiff on March 13, 2013, the first Pope of the Americas, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, hails from Argentina. Pope Francis makes his historic visit to the City of Brotherly Love as part of the World Meeting of Families which has taken place every three years since 1994; 2015 is the first year it is being held in the United States.
Often described as a simple man (his official biography consists of only a few lines), Pope Francis has chosen to live in an apartment and cook his own supper. Having famously said, “trampling upon a person’s dignity is a serious sin,” our POPE is DOPE t-shirt captures the essence of The Holy Father in a modern, humorous, and admittedly cheeky way. When combined with the iconic art style of Robert Indiana, creator of the iconic LOVE sculpture first placed in Philly in 1976 as part of the historic Bicentennial celebration in the US, the result leaves us high on life! The bold graphic is printed on a green t-shirt. Green symbolizes the renewal of vegetation and generally of living things and the promise of new life, and it just seemed like the perfect color for our POPE is DOPE design.
Made of 50% cotton/50% polyester jersey, this pre-shrunk tee features a seamless body, set-in sleeves, and a ribbed crew neck collar. A PHAG exclusive! Designed and printed in the USA. Available in S, M, L, and XL. Sold individually.
Choose from DOPE, LOVE, and HOPE designs in green, red, and gold, respectively.
