For those of you who have ever paid full price for a Threadless tee, my heart goes out. The sale kicked off last nite, and as usual things are basically $5 off, with the regular $10 tee being the value leader. You have till Monday midday to pick up your wears.

The 19th ever FIFA World Cup is starting in less than one day, and if you’re a supporter of Team USA you’ve got several reasons to be optimistic. First of which is the squad’s performance in last summer’s Confederation Cup, but not to be overlooked is this year’s favorable draw. In 2006 USA was drawn into perhaps the tournament’s toughest group, along with Ghana, Czech Republic, and eventual champions Italy, but in 2010 the grouping is much kinder with the inclusion of Algeria and Slovenia alongside powerhouse England. If things go to plan we could see a June 27th clash between United States and Germany in Bloomfontein during the knock-out stage.
If you are thinking about picking up the official USA replica jersey, consider acting quickly as the away jersey is already completely sold out online.

The 2010 World Cup is less than two days away, and if you don’t know who Sulley Muntari is, you had better be familiar with Lionel Messi, easily one of the top 5 players in the tournament. Alternate Kits offers a non-traditional take on the supporter’s t-shirt, freely utilizing puns and making ample use of hyperbole, all at a much lower price than the typical soccer jersey.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Alternatekits.com is now defunct.

It doesn’t seem like I have quite enough patience to spend any appreciable amount of time at xkcd. Patience is, therefore, a virtue.

Entschuldigung! Our favorite Threadless is holding yet another sale that is supposed to last until tomorrow morning. Boys and girls, this only happens 4-5 times a year, so take notice! Or better yet, submit order.
Saw this on Woothemes Demo Server, which is a totally random place to find content. In case you don’t know, Woothemes is a pretty cool place to find cheap WordPress themes, which you can use as a basic layout for any website, not just a blog. (Check out one of their themes in action at Spain Soccer Jersey, one of my other sites.)
Anyway, the video is reminiscent of Justice’s D.A.N.C.E video, so if you are into that sort of thing definitely give it a play. If you’re really into t-shirt videos, also check out my post on the Guiness world record for most t-shirts worn at the same time.

An earthquake struck Haiti one month ago. I just ordered this t-shirt from Threadless. Here are a few other t-shirts you can buy with proceeding going to the people of Haiti.

It’s about time I gave a mention to DesignByHumans. They’ve grown tremendously since I first started blogging, and they are having a post-Christmas clearance. Don’t expect anything earth-shattering in terms of savings, or any monkey business for that matter.

Unbeknown to me, the site was down for two weeks, until I finally figured out there was a problem yesterday. Thanks to a helpful stranger I was able to sort it out.
Now, on to more important things: the FSDAH tee is available from Print Liberation, one of the best t-shirt shops I’ve never blogged about.
XOXO,
