The T-Shirt Blog

I promised to blog about more cheap t-shirts, and in the spirit of Moses, I deliver them to you. These tees are from the sale section of Vintage Vantage, a shop that takes an often snarky approach to retro styled t-shirts.  I found quite a few of them worthy of a mention, not the least of which being one clairvoyant tee with “I’M RIGHT BEHIND YOU” written on it’s back.

In case you’re interested in anything, be sure to click through to toggle between the male/female versions of each shirt.

As usual, I encourage you to voice your opinion by leaving a comment at the end of the post (no registration needed), and definitely subscribe to my blog to receive notifications of any future t-shirt findings.

And the greatest present I could possibly give myself is a new and revamped T-Shirt Blog! Not everything is complete, but during the last couple of weeks I’ve put in a lot of time into tweaking the layout.  I started by upgrading the blog’s software, and I made the content area wider while also increasing the font size of most of the elements.  I believe this will make the blog easier to read, and will allow me to post bigger, higher-res images of t-shirts, which is, after all, what the blog is really about.  I also made a few minor tweaks to make sure everything is neat and aligned, removed a few elements which I deemed less than useful, and added a few things, like the email subscription widget on the upper portion of the sidebar.

More things to come:

• Completely new background images.  If you have any high res photo images or vector art that I can use, please let me know!  I’d like to use some high res t-shirt close-ups, but bandwidth may be an issue.
• Ads.
• More t-shirts!

I was eating a chocolate easter bunny one of these days and immediately thought of this t-shirt from Snorg Tees.  Don’t you just love when a t-shirt company comes up with something cute and original instead of the typical schockingly offensive tee you will find anywhere else.  But don’t wory, Snorg hasn’t completely gone soft either:

Most online t-shirt shops stick to printed tees as their chief production medium. Presumably this is due to their popularity, and the relative ubiquity and low cost of screen printing over, say embroidering. Threadpit.com however, managed to take the classic Polo logo and turn it on it’s head in a clever parody. It comes in four classic colors, and it’s price is Old Navyesque $21.95. In fact, there are more polos available, all too x-rated to show.  Watch out Abercrombie Moose!

P.S. How cool is it of Threadpit to leave a comment section under each tee. I wish more shops would encourage that kind of feedback.

Douché, a tee from creators of blog giants such as Gawker and Gizmodo, does a great job of combining two of my favorite words, both of which happen to have been prominently featured in South Park. The t-shirt’s slogan can also be used to describe some of Gawker Shop’s other offerings.

I thought of this as one of the better t-shirts on TshirtHumor, even before I ever started blogging. Hopefully, I’ll be able to avoid this kind of narcissism. I am going to devote this post, however, to the elusive �blog t-shirt,� but before we get to the predictable blog swag drivel, here�s another blog t-shirt that�s actually good, from who else, but Threadless.

Not to say that this tee isn�t without blogtroversy, or that you won�t get sued (shot?) by your local Bloods chapter for ripping off their gang sign. If you�d rather avoid all that, here are some shirts inspired by the pure, unadulterated angst of blogging.

Ahh, nothing like an attractive female telling me that she doesn�t want to read my blog. Finally, here is an interesting site that manages to create a word cloud for your blog, or website, and print it on a t-shirt. This is what my word cloud would look like.

Now time for one last bit of geekyness, as promised in my previous post. If you check the Overture Keyword Suggestion tool (a very useful tool that includes data from the second largest search network) for the keyword �t-shirt blog,� you will see that the term gets about 100 searches a month (much more on Google). Since the tool doesn�t differentiate between �tshirt blog� and �blog tshirt� it�s impossible to tell who was looking for what. Either way, I am likely to see hits from both searches because I have the two words in my domain name, and why not? I deserve the traffic!
