Simple, classic designs or slogans that celebrate Shetland language, heritage and humour. We&#8217;ve added a news page to gather Shetland-related news from around the web and weather resources that are always relevant in this part of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Shop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The T-shirt designs started more than a decade ago as a bit of fun for family gifts, handmade using iron-on print paper, and now that family have grown and time has moved on it seems like a good time to share this humour and celebration of Shetland language and dialect with everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This online shop is partnered, for now, with the Redbubble print-on-demand service, so clicking links on this website will take you through to the Redbubble shop for purchase.  The shetlander.co.uk shop features T-shirt designs for now but there are a huge range of other products available using the same designs over at Redbubble. We&#8217;ll add some of them here in due course. We&#8217;ll also add new designs regularly, so check back along or follow us on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
