Thomas Sankara - Upright Men FC T-Shirt
Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara (21 December 1949 – 15 October 1987) was a Marxist-Leninist/pan-Africanist revolutionary whose 1983 coup freed Upper Volta from French colonial rule. Sometimes referred to as "Africa's Che Guevara", he served as President of the renamed Burkina Faso ("Land of Upright Men") from 1983 to 1987 before being assassinated.
During his presidency, Burkina Faso planted 10 million trees to halt desertification, expropriated land from feudal tribal lords to give it to peasants (raising wheat production from 1,700 kg to 3,900 kg per hectare in the process, making the country food self-sufficient), ended female genital mutilation and lifted up women's rights, vaccinated 2.5 million children, and initiated a nationwide literacy campaign (raising the literacy rate from 17% to 78%).
Believing physical fitness important to the health of the nation, Sankara instituted a mass sporting program, and participated in a weekly game of football (soccer) with government officials.
A week before his assassination, Sankara declared: "While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas".

I give wanted to give this a 4 instead of a 5 because these Basic DARK T0shirts run unexpectedly SLIM or Narrow. Which is great if you do not have a potbelly, but I have a paunch. It isn't the shirt's fault that I've got a beer belly. The design and shirt itself is a quality cotton shirt. The color is more of a deep purple, but still a very pretty color. The Basic DARK T-shirts run a bit SLIMMER than the Basic Ts. The neck is a fraction narrower (or seems to be narrower) also. I'm a paunchy middle-aged woman and my neck is 12 inches (31cm) thick and the neckline fell about the same as in the photo of the man, and I had the desire to tug it a bit. So if you're a thick necked man or like loose shirts, be aware these are slimmer shirts. Once I get rid of my lockdown paunch it'll look great. The shirt washed well in cold water with no apparent bleeding. We don't have a dryer, so it hung dry. Did not shrink. Love the colors and the design. The design looks smaller on my shirt than it does on the model on-line. But still, it looks good on the shirt. The printing looks as it does on the model, just the size seems fractionally smaller. Washed garment in cold water, hung dry and design appeared unaffected.

I'm wearing this as I type... It's fab! Lovely quality. Soft material, perfect fit, nice and warm (It is very cold here, I live at the top of a hill and the wind is brutal in winter). Couldn't be happier with this. My Girlfriend really likes it as well - always a bonus! I was really impressed by how the printing turned out - my photo's don't do it justice. This is a complex design with a lot of colour variations but the finished article is really impressive. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out. This is also one of my first designs to have been purchased by someone else (thank you so much!) I'm really curious to know what they think of the finished product...
