Advertising Helps Me Decide - by Vintage Vantage

30Jul07by Karl

Just got this “Advertising Helps Me Decide” shirt in the mail from Vintage Vantage and i’m loving it, and i’m getting a lot of good comments at my office. The shirt is a nice soft feel, the print quality is excellent, and there’s no irritating label on the neck. Apparently they got started selling actually [...]

27Jul07by Karl

Ok, you guys are awesome, this is another t-shirt submission from a reader, Andy from Fort Wayne, IN, who pointed me to this web comic called wondermark.com who also create t-shirts inspired by the comics that they do. I think this “this person is rated…” t-shirts are brilliant.

Swingers anyone? Remember that bit where Vince Vaughn’s [...]

Cali Lewis and Geekbrief.tv

27Jul07by Karl

I met the fabulous Cali Lewis, host of Geekbrief.tv the other day and as it turns out, she is a t-shirt nut. If fact she wears a different t-shirt on every episode of the show and anyone that can make that claim is a friend of tcritic. Even better, she featured tcritic on her last [...]

Indie Tech Rawwks

25Jul07by Karl

Damn, every once in a while I come across a line of t-shirts that i’m shocked and amazed I don’t know about, and don’t own most of their t-shirts. I love both the 72 dpi shirt and the Apple skull shirt, although the segway beta might be my fav, good stuff guys.

Bye Bye Tokyo T-shirts

25Jul07by Karl

ByeByeTokyo.com is, of course, a t-shirt company in Spain who’s t-shirts have little connection to either Tokyo or Spain. But the designs are cool, generally simple and iconic, although some seem like non sequiturs like Steve McQueen as Bullit. Looks like the designs are fulfilled through Spreadshirt, which begs the question, why can’t I [...]

Spider Pig T-shirt - First, But I’m Sure Not The Last

23Jul07by Karl

twoeightnine.com, a spreadshirt shop, just sent me this design for their spider pig t-shirt. I give them lots of points for timing, but from a design standpoint i’m on the fence as to how this will look at a distance. I think the slavish adherence to the eight legs on a podgy pig leads to [...]

23Jul07by Karl

So Jessica at Go Fug Yourself is asking this question about Alicia Silverstone’s T-shirt:
So just tell me already, is Alicia Silverstone’s tee shirt AWESOME in an “Take Back the Chico’s Kind of Day” kind of way, or embarrassing in a “Honey, You’re Not Avant-Garde Enough to Make This Work” kind of way?
My personal opinion is [...]

23Jul07by Karl

Today Last Friday a version of Woot! launched specially for T-shirts, the idea is that every morning a new design is offered for sale in a limited quantity and when it’s sold out, it’s sold out.
Interestingly this design, called sore thumbs (which you can buy here) was designed by MJ who authors the compete-tee-tion [...]

Blanco Basura (White Trash) - MotoGP update

23Jul07by Karl

Well I’m back from Moto GP and I wanted to make a quick post tonight so I’ll be brief. The standout t-shirt/clothing story for me was Blanco Basura, a hyper ironic line of clothing for any race meet. Blanco Basura is spanish for white trash, which of course works on so many levels.
Anyway, if [...]
