The Emperor Tee
Haile Selassie I. Sovereign of Ethiopia.
$44.99
Some crowns cannot be removed. Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974, led one of only two African nations that Europe could never fully colonize. His 1936 speech to the League of Nations warned the world that fascism would come for everyone. Three years later, it did.
This tee honors him in bold Pan African poster style. His portrait rendered in imperial gold and Ethiopian tricolor. The Lion of Judah on the back, the symbol that flew on his imperial standard and lives on in Rastafari faith to this day.
Wear this and you wear a declaration. Sovereignty that outlasted empire.
Own Your African Roots. Wear your history.
