What does "Warrior XII" (12) mean?

I keep seeing ads for tshirts with that emblem on DU.

1. They are an extreme right wing "patriotic apparel" company.

Likely they put ads on all websites that are political based. The only good news is they would be wasting their money advertising here.

2. From Vassar.edu:

“Warrior XII” sells t-shirts and other apparel that “embrac[e] the warrior mindset and the essence of what it means to stand on the thin blue line, serve in our military, or simply be a patriotic American.” The “12” of “Warrior XII” is a slang term for police. Their designs include slogans such as “I’ll control my guns, you control your kids”; “If you can’t be safe, be deadly”; and “Die a Hero, or live long enough to become the villain.” Warrior XII also sells several shirts that invoke classical antiquity, including designs such as “Spartan Helmet,” “American Spartan,” and “SPQR.” As Pharos has documented, both the Spartans and SPQR are favorite sources of inspiration for white nationalists, and on closer inspection what might at first seem to be nothing more than a line of shirts for gun enthusiasts turns out to be a platform for xenophobia and coded white supremacy.
=======================

It is also a clothing brand.

5. I'm sorry to see the monogram SPQR co-opted by those morons.

Fans of classical antiquity like to use it.

Ruined, just like the Gadsden flag.

They're also taking over the Celtic cross and Celtic imagery in general.

I hate these guys so much!

And I don't see any sales from this particular ad buy.
