I Move Bricks Like Tetris Shirt from Embrace the Culture

Published February 15, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)

I have a friend who plays a good deal of Tetris (yeah, I’m looking at you, Sefton), which fits half of this shirt. I don’t think, however, that he deals a lot of cocaine. I like the slogan, even though I’m not a cocaine mover myself. It’s pretty witty in my opinion. Plus, if you play Tetris and move a lot of cocaine (or even just the cocaine part) this shirt is super appropriate.

I like the combination the block’iness of the text with the actual Tetris blocks too. It looks cool.

If you wanna pick up the shirt it’ll cost you $24.95 at their store. The design appears to be printed on American Apparel.

Be Formless, Shapeless…from Design by Humans

Published February 11, 2011 in Design by Humans Excellent Design T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirt Coupons T-Shirts. Comments (0)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything from Design by Humans, so I thought I would take some time on a Friday night to rectify that. I’ve gotta be honest, I’m not attracted to the majority of DBH’s designs anymore, but…I do really like this one. The yellow really pops–it’s got that pizazz!–and I dig the fluid, paint-splash’y rendering of the person. It looks overall cool. I might just have to buy this one.

If you would like to be cool like me, you can pick this one up for $21.00 at Design by Humans; it’s printed on an American Apparel blank (since when did Design by Humans start using American Apparel? That’s bangin’). I’ve also still got 10% off Design by Humans coupons for you to use, and I’m continuing to run my deal where I’ll give you 25% off your entire order (not stackable with the coupon unfortunately). Mad savings, yo.

Fly–Philadelphia Flyers T-Shirt from atslopes

Published February 10, 2011 in Pop Culture T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (1)

I never really had any hockey affiliation growing up, but…since I now live in Philadelphia, I figured it’s only fitting for me to support the Flyers. I guess it was fate, then, when I got this email from Andrew letting me know about atslopes new “Fly” t-shirt.

The shirt is essentially the Philadelphia Flyers logo manipulated to spell out fly above the orange target (did that need explaining?). It spices up the logo a bit, and I dig it. If you share my enthusiasm, you can head over to the atslopes store and buy it for $20.00 printed on American Apparel.

Elvis Meets Vader from Headline Shirts

Published February 8, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Political T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

So…this shirt is amazing. If you don’t know, this is based on a (famous?) picture of Nixon and Elvis shaking hands (see the original below), only with Nixon replaced with Darth Vader. Obviously, given how Nixon’s presidency turned out, the substitution is pretty hilarious. I like that it works on two levels–first, it’s funny for people who don’t know the original picture because it’s, well, Elvis and Darth Vader shaking hands. But for those who do know the picture, it’s even more humorous, as well as pretty dang political (if you want it to be).

I think this is one of my favorite Headline Shirts designs (and I like a lot of their shirts, so that actually means something). If you want this sweetness on your chest, you can buy it for $20.00 on American Apparel at their store. I also think the coupon I had for them is still working if you wanna check that out. I hope you enjoyed! Oh, read their product descriptions while you’re at the site–they’re often hilarious, and you’re missing out if you skip them.

The Cartridge from ReThink Clothing–Nintendo Shirt

Published February 5, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Video Game T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I have to be honest, growing up I was totally a Playstation 1 kid (and then XBox, and then no video games), but…that doesn’t mean I can’t dig this new shirt from ReThink Clothing. It’s a simple shirt–just a one color rendering of a Nintendo cartridge. I think it looks great though. It’s kinda nerdy, but not weird nerdy (sorry if that offends! I mean it in the most loving way).

If you want to show your love for Nintendo, you can snag this design for $16.99 at ReThink Clothing. It’s printed on American Apparel blanks (score!).

P.S. My roommates and I have a N64 hooked up to the TV in our basement, so Nintendo has finally become a part of my life.

History is Full of Dickholes Shirt from Amorphia Apparel

Published February 4, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Intelligent T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

This shirt is layin’ some serious real talk on everyone who reads it. The more I study history, the more I realize there were a ton of dickholes throughout our past. Sad thing is we haven’t learned all that well from said dickholes (in most cases).

This shirt comes from Amorphia Apparel, which is one of my favorite companies for intelligent, yet quirky, shirts. You can pick this one up for $15.99+ at their store. I put the “+” part because they use Spreadshirt, so you’re allowed some degree of customization. $15.99 is the cheapest you can get it, but if you’re willing to pony up $22.99, you can have it on some of those super comfortable American Apparel shirts you always hear me talking about.

Rap Music Makes Me Feel Invincible Shirt from Print Liberation

Published January 28, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)

Celebrations! One of my favorite designs, Rap Music Makes Me Feel Invincible, is now back in stock. I’ve posted about this shirt before, but at that point it was out of stock (because everyone was buying it because it’s so awesome).

To reiterate my earlier post, I love this shirt because of the truth of this statement. I’m listening to rap (Kanye West-Power) while writing this post, and I’ve gotta level with you…I feel like a total badass. I’m gonna shower and then go tear the night up, because I’m invincibbbbblllllllleeeeeeeeeee.

Go pick it up at Print Liberation. You won’t regret your decision. If you’re having trouble getting the motivation to shell out $22.00, listen to some rap and then go make it rain.

Lastly, I’m hoping to get out to Print Liberation’s Northern Liberties, Philadelphia store soon (maybe even this weekend) so that will be cool. Maybe I’ll tell everyone a story about it.

Bob Dylan X Beethoven Shirt from Young Lovers

Published January 25, 2011 in Music T-Shirts Pop Culture T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)

Young Lovers has just released their 2011 collection, titled “Creatures of the midnight.” After browsing around, I can tell you that I’m quite enamored with it. My favorite is definitely this one: Dylan x Beethoven. Much like the title suggests, it’s an eye-catching combination portrait of Bob Dylan and Beethoven. Young Lovers’ execution of this design is top-notch–it comes off incredibly well. Like their product description tells us, it’s two incredible musical minds colliding on one shirt, and it looks great.

The design is available in either white on black, or black on white versions, and is a little pricey at $48.00.

If the price is a bit steep for you (here’s to you, college students!), Young Lovers is providing you with a great chance to win your three favorite shirts for free. All you have to do is go to their site and click the Facebook “like” button for each of the three designs you want. After that, you just have to wait until January 31st, when Young Lovers will pick five people to give three shirts each to. That’s cool!

Monster’s Brawl Shirt from Hamburger Disco

Published January 23, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I just got an email from a new t-shirt company based out of Vancouver, Canada. With their company, they wanted to celebrate two of their favorite things: hamburgers, and disco. From this information, maybe you can infer why they’ve named themselves Hamburger Disco.

Their style reminds me a lot of Johnny Cupcakes, but obviously with different subject matter. I chose this design, Monster’s Brawl, for my first post from them because I love all the goofy things that are going on in it. I dig all the monster illustrations, and while it’s obviously a very busy shirt, I think it looks great. It’s King Kong, Godzilla and more all wrapped into one.

If you share my sentiments, you can pick up the design for $30.00 from their store. If you also like Hamburgers and Disco, you should check out the rest of their designs too.

Biggie Shirt from The Cooler Collective–Notorious B.I.G.

Published January 19, 2011 in Music T-Shirts Pop Culture T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I posted up The Cooler Collective’s awesome Kid Cudi shirt a little while back, and now they’ve come out with another shweet offering featuring none other than Biggie Smalls. It’s in much the same style as the Cudi shirt, but goes with a white silhouette on a black shirt to mix it up a wee bit.

Notorious B.I.G. is another rapper I’m a big fan of (so unique!), so I obviously have some love for this shirt. Again, it’s a great portrait, and the imperfect nature of the whole thing makes it super cool. The Cooler Collective has a few of these rapper portraits and seem to be releasing new ones, so expect to see more on troundup in the future.

If you wanna pick this one up, head on over to their store, where you can purchase it for $21 American dollars.
