Joe McCann Revolutionary O-Neck Mesh Jersey

Joe McCann – Battle of the Markets Jersey
“They May Kill the Revolutionary, But Never the Revolution” Edition

A flame that never went out. A message that still burns.

This powerful jersey commemorates one of the most iconic and defiant moments in Irish revolutionary history — the 1972 Battle of the Markets in Belfast, featuring Official IRA volunteer Joe McCann in his final stand at Inglis Bakery.

Crafted from lightweight yet durable 160gsm polyester mesh fabric, this jersey is made for visibility, movement, and meaning. It features a full black base layered with a subtle Celtic knot background, symbolising strength, heritage, and unbroken resistance.

Each sleeve bears three bold stripes — green, white, and orange — a proud nod to the Irish tricolour, worn as a symbol of national identity and working-class solidarity.

Across the front chest, a dramatic silhouette of Joe McCann is lit by the glow of flames, evoking the infamous image captured during the battle. Above him, the Starry Plough flag flies defiantly — the emblem of the Irish socialist movement, representing the working class as the force that shapes the future.

Below the scene, McCann’s enduring message rings out:

“They may kill the revolutionary, but never the revolution.”

This isn’t just a jersey — it’s a memorial, a tribute, and a rallying cry.
