As the product page so eloquently reminds us, Quetzalcoatl was one of the gods of the Aztecs. The Aztecs, my ancestors, believed that this feathered, winged, serpent deity thirsted for human blood, and like so many other serpent-related deities, would one day return from the sky to rule over all mankind. I sometimes joke that maybe I am Quetzalcoatl, as I have many god-like attributes, relatively fair skin, a penchant for the suffering of others, and am a supreme being among amoebas.
I wonder what the Nahuatl (Aztec) word for schadenfreude is. In any case, this shirt combines some awesome pre-Columbian iconography with pretty modern design. The stitching adds an extra flare, but the chest image of the Quetzalcoatl idol makes this shirt a keeper. Get it while you can, it’s a steal at 15 hoes (Shut up, that’s what they called Aztec money. Douche.), and appears to be on sale or clearance.
