t shirts

T-shirts are one of the largest creative outlets for anything related to pop culture. Almost every internet meme, celebrity stunt/accident, or newsworthy event have t-shirts designed for them and sold online. Quite often, the t-shirts are very inexpensive and are only worn a couple times or until the happening is no longer trendy. This is quite the opposite of the retail store t-shirts and mass-produced designs that don't get as much love from the blogosphere. 

Doing a search on a large community-driven t-shirts site will show all the current and past trends. For example, in the time leading up to the 2009 elections, t-shirts featuring Barack Obama and other politicians were all the rage. Some designs like those made by Shepard Fairey were some of the most well known images of the election and remained a pop culture icon.

• Two new tees and a varsity jacket from DBD

• Aesop Rock and Nujabes at My Main Man Pat this week

  
  — Authority:
  50% hit rate this week for me at My Main Man Pat , meaning that I’ve heard of Aesop Rock but not Nujabes. 50% hit rate in terms of me liking the designs too, the Nujabes tee feels a bit off to me, it’s probably due to the shape of the stylized image, though with me knowing nothing of Nujabes work this might ...

• This Shirt Is Hilariously Inappropriate For Prom

  
  — Authority:
  We don’t know how this shirt made it past whatever teacher was in charge of the prom planning committee for this high school, but we’re guessing that once they figure out how to use Google, they’ll be a bit…er, upset. Kids these days. (via Reddit )
