This t-shirt was designed by Mireog for the Pan Celtic Festival, an annual celebration of Celtic arts, music, language, and culture bringing together communities from across the Celtic nations.
The design features a thoughtful visual interpretation of two closely related proverbs, one in Irish and one in Welsh, highlighting the shared heritage and linguistic connections between Celtic languages.
Irish / Gaeilge:
“Bíonn caora dhubh ar an tréad is gile”
(There tends to be a black sheep even in the whitest flock)
Welsh / Cymraeg:
“Y mae dafad ddu ym mhob praidd”
(Every flock has its black sheep)
This design playfully reflects individuality within community, celebrating diversity, identity, and the richness of Celtic storytelling traditions.
Each t-shirt is screen-printed in Co. Waterford by Mireog using water-based inks on soft 100% organic cotton Earth Positive fabric.
Ethically produced using renewable wind and solar energy, these t-shirts are designed with sustainability and comfort in mind.
Available in different colours, this design offers a versatile and meaningful piece of Celtic-inspired clothing.
Care instructions:
Wash at 30°C to preserve the print and fabric quality.
Mireog works across two quite different mediums, and somehow both feel like the same brand: greeting cards that lean properly Irish — a couple of the Christmas ones are printed in Irish alongside English — and a wide run of unisex and women's t-shirts printed with Irish mythology, folklore and language rather than logos or slogans. Gráinne, the Raven, a Black Sheep, a fiddle player mid-tune, Tír Gan Teanga ("land without language"), Ciaróg, Smugairleroin, Dinn Rí, the King of Tara, a Rebel Goddess — each design borrows a name or image from Irish myth and turns it into something you'd genuinely wear, not a tourist tee. The cards side is smaller but just as considered: a leafy heart design, birthday cards in Irish, and Christmas cards including a reindeer print and a couple with Irish greetings built in. Whether you're after a card that says something in the cúpla focal or a t-shirt that starts a conversation about who exactly Gráinne was, this is a range built for people who'd rather wear or send a story than a slogan. Good for anyone proud of their Irish, learning it, or just quietly into the mythology. Delivered across Ireland.
