I like this, but agree that it needs something on the front for balance. Good work though!
Insomnia Design
Insomnia Design on Mar 27 '08
I found Drake's coat of arms and I think it would balance out the front of the shirt nicely on the left breast pocket area. I will investigate to see if I can modify this submission or what I will need to do.

People love pirates. This will sell.
nasmo

Very nice design, but the Spanish word for dragon is actually "dragón." "El drague" means "he dredges."
Insomnia Design
Insomnia Design on Mar 29 '08
I know nasmo, the drague spelling is the spelling that was used for his nickname. Here background for those unfamiliar, sorry if it is too long.

'There was no greater thorn in the side of the Spanish than Francis Drake. They called him “El Drague” or “The Dragon” and considered him no better than a pirate and with good reason. As a talented sea captain and navigator, he attacked their fleets and took their ships and treasure. He raided their settlements in America and played a major role in the defeat of the greatest fleet ever assembled, the “Spanish Armada.” No other English seaman brought home more wealth or had a bigger impact on English history than Drake.'

I would really like this shirt if it were reversed. I know having the large design maybe too conventional, but this design looks disorganized otherwise.

Drake and Slave Trading : from wikopedia:
The Englishmen sold their African captives into slavery in Spanish plantations. These activities (which he continued) undermine the tendency to view Drake as simply an English 'hero'. In general, the kidnap and forced transportation of people was considered to be a criminal offence under English law at the time, although legal protection did not necessarily extend to foreigners, non-Protestants or criminals. Hawkins' own account of his actions (in which Drake took part) cites two sources for their victims. One was military attacks on African towns and villages (with the assistance of rival African warlords). The other was piracy against Portuguese slave ships. Britain's slave trade later came to be regarded as a terrible stain on the moral history of the nation, and Drake's role in laying the technical, legal and political foundations for the slave trade cannot be overlooked.

Why do people quote Wikipedia? Do they not know it's mostly made up?
