The British Legion was founded in 1921 and granted its Royal Charter in 1971 as part of the celebration of its 50^th anniversary. This year is their 90^th anniversary. Coincidentally a year that has the remarkable symmetry of 11/11/11/11 - 11^th hour of the 11^th day of the 11^th month of the 11^th year. To mark this, among other things, The Royal British Legion have collaborated with WeAdmire.net to produce a range of t shirts intended to be worn year round. The shirts are available in a range of six colours and seven sizes from XS to XXXL. The designs are dyed into the shirts at very high resolutions, they are completely colourful and very detailed. Because the designs are dyed into the fabric of the shirts they are completely colour fast, and because they are dyed there is no change to the performance or feel of the fabric.

 

 

At the bottom left corner of the front of each shirt in this range is a drawing of the “dog tags” issued in the 1^st World War. Their use will be limited to this range of shirts. In their day they were made of compressed asbestos dyed red and green and secured with butchers twine.
There are six designs

Pidgeons. This shirt remembers the contribution of pigeons to communications in WW1 and to a lesser extent in WW2. The image is dyed into the fabric of the shirt in full colour and detail.  The shirt  will not fade or shrink to any significant extent.

Let Us Sleep Now Let us sleep now is the final line in Wilfred Owen's stunning poem, Strange Meeting. The poem is reproduced in full on the back of the shirt.

Poppy Planes a clever design that particularly remembers the contribution of the airforce.
