isle of man emblem T-Shirt

Coat of arms of Isle of Man. The coat of arms of the Isle of Man dates from 1996. As the Isle of Man is a Crown dependency, the arms are more accurately described as The Arms of Her Majesty in right of the Isle of Man. The triskele (or triskelion) is an ancient symbol, consisting of three branches or legs, that radiate from a centre. The Manx triskelion is known in the Manx language as Ny Tree Cassyn ("The Three Legs"). The symbol has been associated with the island since at least the 13th century. The crest is supported by a peregrine falcon - derived from the time of King John I of Mann; and a raven as featured in Norse mythology in keeping with the Viking history of the island. The motto is quocunque jeceris stabit, which is Latin and means: "whichever way you throw, it will stand". The motto dates to the 17th century, where it is first recorded as being present on Manx coinage dating to the year 1668.
