Re: Know your bard.

There is a typo in your shirt, unfortunately. "During the English Renaissance, a 'Moor' was a term used to refer to dark-skinned people in general." The article "a" before "Moor" denotes singularity, but you follow it with a plural, "people." Either remove "a" or say "a dark-skinned person." Without that change, I cannot, as a good literature major, support this shirt.

Very Clever. I like the design and all the names... And yes, there is more, but minor characters don't count. They are like the red shirts, sometimes have a name sometimes don't, either way they are doomed to die.

WOW! This one is fantastic. Shakepearian in design, yet you wouldn't know it unless you remember High School English. I love the distressed look and the design is very beautiful and something Shakespear would have designed him self. GMV

Re: The Poet's Weapons

I'm not sure how this shirt is Shakespeare-inspired. It's just writing-inspired.
No one would look that this shirt and say, "Oh, Shakespeare."

I completely disagree. I don't like the shirt, but it is inspired by a Shakespearian sonnet. It's abstract, but certainly what they asked for.
