Hit Squad T-Shirt from Loud Lion

Published January 7, 2012 in Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I just got an email about a new t-shirt brand called Loud Lion, run by a soon-to-be husband and wife combo. I dig their designs. They’re very simple an monochromatic, which I definitely like in this situation. It’s more toned down than some of the other tees I post, which I think definitely has its place in any good t-shirt collector’s closet. This is probably my favorite design from their (currently) five design collection. It’s called Hit Squad, and consists of a hot air balloon carrying a tank. Awesome…

You can get it for $23.00 at the Loud Lion shop. It’s printed on an American Apparel 50/50 blank.

Sleep T-Shirt from Dress Royale

Published January 3, 2012 in Excellent Design T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

Checking in to share a sweet t-shirt from a new brand called Dress Royale. The shirt is an excellent comment on the World’s (especially the US’) fascination with prescription drugs. It seems like almost everything “needs” a prescription drug, side effects included, nowadays. Dress Royale has done an excellent job of illustrating that excess. It helps that the design just looks flat out cool as well.

You can grab the tee, called “Sleep”, for $18.00. It’s printed on American Apparel 50/50 shirts. Not a bad deal at all! Additionally, here’s a cool video that they have showing one of their t-shirts being printed. Check it out:

Big Yellow Joint, an Arrested Development T-Shirt from Skreened

Published December 28, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts TV Shirts. Comments (0)

I tweeted about this sweet Arrested Development shirt earlier today (I already own it, and I was wearing it today). Now I want to post about it. For fans, you probably remember the Big Yellow Joint jingle. Well…this t-shirt epitomizes all that is the Big Yellow Joint–I love it. I will definitely be wearing this shirt a ton, and I hope I get some comments.

You can grab this design for $26+ at Skreened, whom (who?) I’m coming to love more and more. They have a ton of great designs–cool artists just flock to them or something. Kudos, Skreened.

P.S. I’m gonna do my usual thing where I tell you to watch Arrested Development. Seriously, do it.

P.P.S. Yes, that is me in the awkward self-shot.

New (Old) T-Shirts from Fullbleed!

Published in Excellent Design T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

First off, I hope everyone enjoyed whatever holiday you celebrate–I know I did. Troundup (me) is moving further into the digital age with an iPhone 4s (big post to celebrate that later!), and I’m already liking the change. Let’s get to the actual post though, ’cause you probably don’t want to read my babblings.

I love Fullbleed, so when they release any type of new design, I jump on it. Now, while these aren’t 100% new, they are re-imagined old designs that were out of stock…so they’re kind of new. That’s good enough for me. I dig all three designs, and you can grab them for $18.00 each over at the Fullbleed store. The designs are printed on American Apparel blanks.

Winter is Coming T-Shirt from Busted Tees: Christmas with Game of Thrones

Published December 22, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts TV Shirts. Comments (0)

I love this Game of Thrones themed t-shirt from Busted Tees, and I thought it was a perfect post as we move closer and closer to Christmas. “Winter is Coming” is, of course, the slogan of the Starks. This shirt depicts that text, along with a wild looking Stark (is that Ned?) riding in a sleigh pulled by what look like direwolves. It’s a pretty funny shirt if you follow the show…if you don’t, well, start watching (or reading of course). I also like the idea of Ned delivering presents–it’s a funny picture.

You can grab this design for $20 at Busted Tees. If you spend a minimum of $40, you can also get free overnight shipping with the code “FREEOVERNIGHT” and get it in time for Christmas. But yeah, I love this shirt, and I think it’s a great way to celebrate Christmas (or the holidays).

Slow Hands T-Shirt from Rise and Resist (RANDR)

Published December 21, 2011 in Artsy T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything from Rise and Resist, but they always have cool tees, so I thought I would go ahead and change that. I really dig this one–”Slow Hands”. It looks super interesting–the black arms on the white just coming out at odd angles is awesome. I also love how the red nails pop–looks great.

You can grab this design for $25 at the RandR store. It’s printed on American Apparel blanks. Check out the product description while you’re there–it gave me a chuckle.

P.S. I very much like this model–sleeve tats on girls are awesome in my opinion.

Your Argument Is Invalid T-Shirt from Snorg Tees

Published November 20, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I really enjoy the “Your Argument Is Invalid” meme, and I think Snorg Tees perfectly encapsulated the feeling of that meme into this t-shirt. A goat riding one of those super cool old bicycles (that I’ve told you how much I love)? Sign me up. You’re argument is invalid, bro; because there’s a mother ‘effin goat riding a bike on my t-shirt. It’s the perfect way to show a person with weak arguments just how much disdain you have for them (just kidding, kind of). More importantly, it’s also just straight up funny. I dig it.

You can pick up this t-shirt and tell people how much their arguments suck by checking out the Snorg Tees store. Remember to always check for a coupon before ordering, so you can hopefully save some money. You better not argue with me about how cool this t-shirt is…

Introducing Why Because: Funny and Punny Type Tees

Published November 4, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)

I just got an email from Brett about the launch of his new t-shirt brand, Why Because. Why Because uses words and phrases (and some images) to make you laugh from looking at a t-shirt. I’ll let Brett explain in more detail:

“My motivation to start the line came out of a love for clever wording and phrases. All of the first run of shirts are based around type. Although they won’t always be typed based, they will have a humor edge to them. There are a lot of great humorous shirt brands but I figured there was room for at least one more out there. I plan to achieve world peace through humorous t-shirts. I don’t think it’s too much to hope for.”

I dig the designs they’ve got up so far–many of them are those type of goofy puns that I enjoy so much. I picked my favorite of the six release shirts to show you. It’s called Dim Sum, and it made me chuckle the most out of all the Why Because designs.

Why Because is currently holding a pre-order sale, in which all their tees are only $15. The tees are printed on American Apparel (yay!) and will ship in early December. Go check them out!

Are We Having Fun Yet? Party Down T-Shirt from Busted Tees

Published November 1, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts TV Shirts. Comments (0)

I was a little shocked, and very happy, when I opened Busted Tees’ new release newsletter earlier today. Why would they make a t-shirt based on show that got cancelled years ago? Well, I don’t know why, but I sure am glad they did it. Party Down, the show this design pulls its inspiration from, is a super funny and intelligent comedy that starred Mr. Adam Scott (who is currently bringing his humor to another great show, Parks and Recreation). In the show, He’s a failed actor famous for his embarrassing beer commercial slogan of, you guessed it, “Are We Having Fun Yet?!?” This shirt immortalizes those words for all of eternity, and ties in the signature Party Down bow-tie for good measure. I think this shirt is absolutely awesome and totally hilarious, though I understand you probably have to be familiar with the show to enjoy it as much as I do.

After you’ve plowed through both seasons of Party Down (conveniently available for instant streaming on Netflix), buy this shirt from Busted Tees for only $20.00, a small price to pay for the enjoyment it will bring to other Party Down fans. Needless to say (though I’m gonna say it anyway), this shirt will probably be a huge hit at parties and other events where beer is being consumed, as well as life in general. Also, remember to use a Busted Tees coupon to save some money.

So yeah, plop down on your couch and watch some Party Down–you won’t regret it.

From the Ashes T-Shirt from Another Safe Landing

Published October 23, 2011 in Artsy T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I’m checking in today to post up another sweet t-shirt that has been lurking around my “Get Reviewed” Inbox.  The design, entitled From the Ashes, comes from Another Safe Landing. I hadn’t heard of these guys previously, but I definitely enjoy their stuff. This design is both their newest release, and my favorite of their offerings. Astronauts are an inherently awesome topic, and the way they illustrated him/her makes it even cooler. My favorite element is definitely the moon’like body of the astronaut. That, combined with the general style of the design, is quite awesome.

You can pick up From the Ashes for only $24.00. They print on American Apparel 2001 blanks (super comfortable). While you’re at the site check out the rest of their stuff as well–they’ve got some pretty cool designs. I look forward to what they come up with in the future.
