The shirt reads: “THE SOVIET ONION.”
Above it, a red onion is drawn with a gold hammer and sickle across it, roots and papery skin intact.
Union and onion differ by one letter, and the design has run with it entirely straight-faced — the emblem is drawn accurately and the vegetable is doing all the work.
For history students, for pun collectors, and for a joke that is old, obvious and still lands because the artwork is good.
