Tad Nugent

Do you remember that episode of “That 70’s Show” where Fez misspells “Tad Nugent” on the bootleg t-shirts he is trying to sell at a Ted Nugent concert:

Hyde: Fez, its TED Nugent.
Fez: Uh huh, Tad Nugent. (Said with a slurr of a mixture of Ted and Tad.)
Hyde: No man, I’m saying Ted.
Fez: I’m saying Tad, too.

You get the idea. I guess these shirts were left over.

Cute Tees at Snorgtees.com

The wholesome goodness of these designs from SnorgTees is a breath of fresh air, especially in a world filled with so much violence and uncertainty. This all makes for a happy coincidence that SnorgTees now has kid’s sizes available through Spreadshirt.

Get three tees, and shipping is free to make this a truly slick deal.

Save the Douchés

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.

A Bit of Shameless Self-Promotion.

Tags: chode, choad, rhode, island, t-shirt

I got the idea for this t-shirt a couple of years ago when I saw a random person wearing a Rhode Island University sweatshirt. I consider this design to be one of my best creations, even though my sales records indicate that there are only about eight Chode Island t-shirts in existence today (that includes one in Massachusetts, one in Connecticut, and one supposedly somewhere in Brasil).

I sell all of my designs through Cafepress, which offers a great all around selling experience, from design to marketing to support. Cafepress is the industry leader, even though there are now other on-demand printing services that I’d like to try at some point. Some question the quality of on-demand printers like Cafepress, but I can definitely vouch for the quality of the organic cotton tee. The fabric is super soft and comfortable with a slim vintage-like feel and pleasant cream/ivory color, and it is better fitting and just as nice as any other t-shirt I own.

Endorsements include: “It’s tight,” from a coworker, and “Chode Island! OMG, Chode Island!” from a random girl at the train station. So feel free to leave some feedback, whether you like/dislike the shirt, don’t get it, or have anything to say about on demand t-shirt printing or t-shirt selling in general.

P.S. Since we are on a personal note I can also tell you about what I’ve been keeping busy with during the summer. I took a web design class at MassArt, and spent a good part of July working on a class project which entailed making a website for a fictional restaurant, which I’ve uploaded for you to see. Maybe I’ll get to use it as part of my portfolio, along with this blog and other sites I’ve worked on. I also received an advertising certification from Google, so who knows what I’ll be working on next!

P.P.S. Don’t forget to subscribe to my rss feed so you can be updated whenever I make a new post. It is especially easy in Firefox since all you have to do is go to my feed and click subscribe.

Galaxy’s New #23

Posted on July 22nd, 2007 by Alex.
Categories: Sports
Tags: beckham, galaxy, jersey, shirt

I imagine that the majority of people who look at this site are more interested in esoteric emo-ware rather than a $80 sports jersey with someone else’s name on the back. Nevermind the polyester fabric or the garish Herbalife logo (I actually think jersey sponsorship could be a good thing for MLS teams), but LA Galaxy has already sold 300,000 jerseys in one week despite having the second worst record in the league. Something tells me that a good percentage of those jerseys were of the David Beckham variety.

New Transformers Tees at NerdyShirts.com

Tags: transformers, tees, nerdyshirts.com, nerdy, shirts

Ok, I get it, Transformers is kind of a big deal. The movie grossed $24.7 million on it’s first day, and NerdyShirts released not four but five new Transformers t-shirts this week. To top it off one of my coworkers actually showed up to work wearing a Transformers voice changer helmet.

You see, I hadn’t set foot in the good ol’ US and A until late in 1991, and as such have not seen a single Transformers episode. I had seen Plenty of M.A.S.K., Conan the Adventurer, and TMNT, and lots Transformer toy commercials in between. Maybe, just maybe I’ll go watch the movie and see what I’ve been missing. Should I?

Forget Father’s Day, I want one of these Life 2.0 tees all for myself!

Posted on June 16th, 2007 by Alex.

Usually when you see a t-shirt company with more that a hundred different designs, you figure that the quantity is there to make up for a lack of quality. Not so at Old Guys Rule - the t-shirts, polos, sweatshirts and caps are clearly put together by a team of aging designers and illustrators with a creativity honed by the California sun, and years upon years of design experience. So grab a gift certificate for your dad, and that awesome Spare Tire Ale t-shirt for yourself.

One Hundred Percent Cotton

I’ve written about Threadless on several previous occasions, and I’ve already been criticized for writing about them too much. I have to admit, they are pretty easy to blog about considering their fresh monthly releases and reasonable prices. Also, judging by the Street Team points I’ve accumulated so far Threadless has exactly the kind of unique and creatively designed tees people want to see, and buy.

I do have one pretty serious beef with Threadless. Most of the guy’s tees are printed on a Fruit of the Loom 50/50 blend, not 100% cotton like most of their other products (maybe that’s the reason why Girl’s tees cost $2 more?). Although some people don’t have a problem with this, I find the material rather coarse and the polyester blend wears warm over a full day. That’s why I am devoting this post to designs fully available on 100% cotton products.

Threadless Select tees are designs submitted by professional artists and designers, and unlike the regular competition winners they are printed on !00% cotton American Apparel t-shirts for both guys’ and girls’ sizes. The downside is that they cost $10 more than the competition winners, but if you are wannabe geek like me you’ll definitely want to roll the dice on this Revenge of the Nerds styled tee before the limited stock runs out. Accept no imitations!

There’s actually quite a lot of hoodies now available at Threadless, but not everything that looks good on a t-shirt works well on a sweatshirt, like this emo cyclops on a bright blue hoodie. That’s why I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of this brand new skeleton-on-dragon action hoodie - the zippered cut and the two-tone graphic should make for a stylish look. Besides, it’s about time I have something white in my wardrobe besides a t-shirt.

Interested in more Threadless cotton offerings? Check out the rest of the Select tees, or head on over to stock chart to see which hoodies and long sleeve designs are available in your size.

I was somewhere around Lower Manhattan when I snapped up this photo with my Blackberry Pearl. I was also sporting my “coke-heads know it all” out-of-print t-shirt from The Ryde. It was only my second time wearing it, and it got quite a few positive comments from random people.
