Description 5 Rings
The T-shirt "5 Rings" creatively combines elements from the cartoon series "Captain Planet" and the epic fantasy saga "The Lord of the Rings." At the center of the design is Captain Planet, depicted with distinctive blue skin and a smiling face. Surrounding him are the five young heroes of the cartoon - the Planeteers - who have the power to summon Captain Planet with their special rings.
The arrangement and the inscription in the circle around the figures allude to "The Lord of the Rings." The text "Five rings for mortal men doomed to die" and "One ring for the Blue Lord on his blue throne" are a nod to the ring verses in Tolkien's work, with "Blue Lord" referring to Captain Planet and "mortal men" referring to the human ring-bearers, the Planeteers.
