Ill Tee from Itkin on Etsy

Published October 7, 2008 in Humorous T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)

Etsy houses a plethora of awesome t-shirts, it just sometimes takes awhile to wade through the muck. I was bored last night, so I went through 47 pages of their t-shirts (I only did t-shirts tagged “text”). It took me a decent amount of time, but I did come across this gem, as well as a few others. I’m loving the picture they chose, as well as the pun. Pick it up for $19 + $4.60 shipping at Etsy.

1-2-3-4 W.D.W.Y.F.W. from Retro Campaigns

Published September 7, 2008 in Physical T-Shirt Reviews Political T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel Retro T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I haven’t been alive (or even nearly alive) for any of the campaigns featured at Retro Campaigns, so I wasn’t sure what tee to pick when they asked me to review one, as I’ll admit my acquired knowledge of past presidential campaigns is fairly lacking (this sentence sounds awkward, oh well!). I finally settled on this one because it’s not time specific – it’s as relevant today (or nearly) as it was during Vietnam, and it has a good message. If you don’t know what the slogan is, 5 of the words are We Don’t Want Your **** War, I’ll leave you to figure out the fifth in the interest of being work/family friendly.

The shirts are printed on American Apparel, with nice soft prints – just the way I like them. I’d definitely recommend picking these up if you want to show off your political know-how.

I’ll leave you with Retro Campaign’s background of the shirt:

American opposition to the Vietnam War, propelled largely by young adults and college students in small numbers in the mid-1960s, grew into a national phenomenon by the end of the decade and on into the 1970s. As the War pushed seemingly endlessly forward, so did the protests. The draft, first-time-ever television coverage of combat, the Kent State shootings, the My Lai massacre and relentlessly depressing news about the war effort in general contributed to a nationwide beating drum of anti-war sentiment.

Get Your T-Shirt Talk On

Color Overload just wrote to inform me about the launch of their t-shirt forum. They’ve already got 70 members, so if all of those are active it should be some pretty good conversation. Head on over there and get your talk on.

Sunstache Kid from Fuzzy Ink

Mustache t-shirts strike back again. Sunstache Kid comes from a collaboration with Craig “Wotto” Watkins. It’s certainly sure to stir some conversation, as I think it’s a pretty unique design. Each shirt is one of a kind, complete with a hand printed tag on the softest shirts Fuzzy Ink could find. Check it out at their store. It’s currently on pre-order for $15.95.

PS. Has anyone heard the results from DBH’s Friend-A-Thon? I’ll email the winners of my contest soon.

The Best The Office T-Shirts

Published April 7, 2008 in Humorous T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (4)

The Office is one of my favorite shows on TV right now (I feel like it has gone somewhat downhill, but it’s still hilarious). To commemorate what is soon to be its return to TV (this Thursday), I thought I would do a post with the best “The Office” t-shirts out there. Here they are, in no particular order. I hope you enjoy.

Do you also hold the position of Assistant (to the) Regional Manager? If so, get this shirt from Snorg Tees and show it off to the world. This one’s on American Apparel and can be bought by going here.

Kevin is perhaps (there are alot of good ones, it’s tough to choose) my favorite character from The Office. The way he delivers his lines is excellent. Show support for his band, Scrantonicity, by wearing this one. They rock. They definitely have the best Police covers I have ever heard. This one is also on American Apparel and can be bought at Snorg Tees.

Help spread awareness for Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run For The Cure by wearing this shirt. The title is quite a mouthful (that being the point). I think this came from the first episode of the 4th season, or thereabouts, and was actually worn in the show. This one comes from the official NBC store.

Not much to say about this one. It’s the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company logo. Pick it up at 80s Tees.

There were a lot of generic “Thats what she said” shirts out there. I went with this one because it actually has Michael, so people can see it’s from The Office. If not, I think you just end up looking like an idiot. This one also is at 80s tees.

If memory serves, this one is from the episode where Dwight demonstrates how lax the office security is by telling the tale of how he brought a potato gun into work. Can you imagine if he was deranged? Get this one at 80s tees.

So that’s all of The Office shirts I have for now. I hope you enjoy, and remember to watch the new episode this Thursday.

Be A Panda – Threadless

Lately, there haven’t been too many Threadless designs that I had any interest in. Thankfully, Be A Panda breaks that trend – it’s definitely one of my favorite designs from the past couple months.

New Theme

Published in T-Shirt Roundup. Comments (2)

I’ve decided to switch themes again, as I wasn’t completely happy with the last one. I think I’ll be staying with this one (I love K2), although there is a the possibility of switching to a 3 columned version of this same theme. I hope everyone enjoys. Feedback would be appreciated.
