The Boar of Wittenburg

And now you can get Martin Luther's surly mug on a shirt, too! Actually, he looks kind of friendly here, belying his reputedly pugnacious temperament. The title is, of course, from the papal encyclical condemning Luther, Exsurge Domine: "Arise, O Lord, and judge your own cause... The wild boar from the forest seeks to destroy it and every wild beast feeds upon it" (an echo of Psalm 80). Again, click the ad on the sidebar if you want to check out the shirt.
