You don’t sound stupid, Tyler. The emblem of the Soviet Union (the political system that existed in Russia from 1917 to 1989) was the hammer crossed with a sickle. The hammer stood for industry while the sickle represented agriculture. This shirt employs, for the purpose of being ironic, what I suppose you would call a malapropism (switching a word around with a similar sounding work that has a completely different meaning). In this case “sickle”, the curved blade used for the harvesting of crops and “Popsicle”, a brand of frozen, sugary treats. I suppose this might also be considered a pun by some. Either way, very clever and humorous. I’d wear it.

Actually that is the emblem of communism, Not of the soviet union.

There is no one symbol for communism. It was the symbol for the Soviet Union, as said.

A good, humorous play on soviet symbolism. This design should appeal to a rather wide audience, including people on opposing ideological viewpoints.

I bought this shirt, it fits perfect. The image looks good, but there's a shadow of it on the back of the shirt... Oh well.
Paired with my Russian officer hat, I was on a role in school. :) Too bad only teacher's got the joke, kids these days are history retarded.
