Item highlights
Seller's description
Yes, I've heard the pool joke. A chibi storybook-watercolor Marco Polo tee for geography and history teachers, history buffs, world travelers and swim coaches.
THE STORY BEHIND IT
Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant who left Venice in 1271 with his father and uncle, reached the court of Kublai Khan in China after about three years, and returned to Venice in 1295. Around 1298, held prisoner in Genoa, he reportedly told his stories to a fellow prisoner, the romance writer Rustichello da Pisa, who wrote them down. The result, The Travels of Marco Polo, was copied by hand across Europe for centuries. The swimming-pool game that borrowed his name came much, much later.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Funny Marco Polo shirt: the watercolor chibi Venetian merchant with a beard, a red felt cap and a green coat with gold trim, holding an unrolled map and rolling his eyes upward, says "Yes, I've heard the pool joke."
- For geography and history teachers, history buffs, world travelers, map lovers, swim coaches and anyone who has heard it one too many times
- Big, bold speech-bubble joke, with the design printed about 10½ to 11 inches wide, depending on size, so it reads across the room
- Original chibi watercolor art by Honeyman Tees: a beard, a red felt cap, a green coat with gold trim, a leather belt, a brown satchel, an unrolled map, upward-rolling eyes and brown boots
- Soft, comfy tee, made to order and printed to last
