A Shirt Full of Bricks
Friday, February 5th, 2010I love ThinkGeek for their unapologetically weird merchandise, but this “Brick Construction” t-shirt is a little out there even for me. The shirt comes with an attached “baseplate” on the front, to which you’re supposed to add any of a number of compatible brands of blocks (Legos, K’Nex, PixelBlocks, or Mega Bloks, but I’ve never [...]
Made You Look
Friday, January 29th, 2010If you’ve ever had the desire to make everyone around you a little bit nervous, you can see the allure of this t-shirt, printed to make it look like the wearer has a gun sticking out of her pants. The “Be Tough” shirt might stop some people from messing with you, but I’d be more [...]
Venetian Blinds
Friday, January 22nd, 2010The string on this t-shirt from Shikisai at first appears to be an innocently printed part of the design, but it can be pulled to raise the “shade” just like with real Venetian blinds. If you just can’t get enough of institutional interior design, this is the shirt for you. I wonder if it gets [...]
Bird’s Eye View
Friday, January 15th, 2010Google may no longer be able to search China, but with this t-shirt, you can! Very slowly. Street by street. From the air. Same as Google Maps, right?
The aerial map of Beijing printed on this shirt is certainly cool-looking, though we wouldn’t want to try to navigate with it (”Turn left at the…armpit…”). Maybe with [...]
T-Shirt or Laundry Bag?
Friday, January 8th, 2010When all your other t-shirts are dirty, stuff them in one of these t-shirt-shaped laundry bags and head for the nearest washing machine. Just don’t put the red one in with the colors - trust me, you’ll end up with a lot of unexpected pink in your wardrobe.
This would make an interesting promotion for a [...]
The Rules of Attraction
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009It may not be Valentine’s Day yet, but in the middle of winter, we can certainly use the kind of recharging that comes from cuddling with a loved one. These “Dynamic Life” t-shirts from ThinkGeek allow you to wear your devotion on the outside, mimicking the life-force display bar familiar to video game players everywhere. [...]
When T-Shirts Mix with Drugs
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009When I was about 17 I went to an art school in a questionable part of town. Our cafeteria was fully stocked with security guards, ID badges and metal detectors. However, nothing bad ever happened. The security guards were more like friends and the metal detectors were more commonplace than anything else.
So I was waiting [...]
Recycle Old T-Shirts
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009This shirt is made entirely from a previous shirt. It’s fashionable but eco-friendly (the best kind of shirt there is!). I love the idea of cutting t-shirts to make new designs. It’s a great way to flex your creative muscles and try something new. Plus, if you have all those promotional t-shirts laying around but [...]
ObaMao
Thursday, November 19th, 2009Oba-Mao shirts were recently printed, and then banned, during Obama’s visit to China. As Obama arrived, the Chinese government banned the sale of the shirts that showed Obama’s face turned in the typical position of the Chinese leader.
A CNN reporter was able to sneak one out of a store and get it on camera before [...]
The Ugly Sweater Strikes Back
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009They may not be t-shirts… in fact, I’m not even sure they classify as sweaters when they’re this ugly! But they are just that cool, so on the blog they go. These two are some of the most hideous I’ve ever seen! The Daily Green features some unbelievably awful pictures of Ugly Christmas Sweater parties [...]
