1791 Apparel

September 23rd, 2009 by Phil

1791 Apparel is modern clothing for the modern patriot.  1791 Apparel bases their designs on the more militaristic side of patriotism with mainly gun themes and nationalistic American images.  The website takes a little patience with loading times but once you’re there you’ll like what you see.  While 1971 is limited to only 10 designs they are all very clean and to the point, something I can appreciate in a shirt.  Take for instance the US Constitution shirt: short, simple, to the point, yet extremely effective.  This is something that I would throw on to go anywhere.  Available in 4 different colors and printed on Hanes Beefy-T Tees.


Price: $15.00

I am also a big fan of guns and what they can do, so 1791 again does not disappoint. I have seen crosshairs on shirts before, but something makes 1791′s spin on things look really good.  The AR-15 crosshairs look awesome and stand out as the main attraction.

Busted Tee Friday

September 18th, 2009 by Phil

Finally Friday again, and with that comes the newest and coolest from BustedTees.

This first design is a shirt that I would wear a lot, not going to lie.  The concept of a Captain Canada is beyond my wildest dreams and probably the coolest superhero this side of The Tick.  Despite the fact that he probably has very little to do and not too many people to save, he has a pretty sweet costume.  Sorry, “uniform.”


Price: $16.99 (On sale this week only!)

BustedTees also re-released their “Crazy for Swayze” shirt in support of the fight against cancer.

AVP

September 15th, 2009 by Phil

I first saw the Alien series when I was in elementary school because my mom was out and my dad wanted to show me what I had to look forward to in life.  I immediately fell in love with it and was then exposed to the Predator (not the Chris Hanson kind) and it was all over like a triangular red-dot to the forehead.  Aliens combined with Predators…. awesome concept & comics, bad movies that were cool when they fought.  Here’s a new spin on things from our friends at T-Shirt Bordello:

Nerdy Shirts

September 13th, 2009 by Phil

Is there a better way to spend the weekend than checking out sweet shirts for sweet prices on uber-sweet sites?  I can’t think of one.  So here are a few finds from our good friends at NerdyShirts.

“Shark Cat.”  Sounds a little weird and for good reason.  NerdyShirt’s new shirt of the week, “Shark Cat,” is not something you see everyday and it was so hilarious I had to put it up.  After being terrified by shark week last month on TV, I’d like to show that I’m a good sport by featuring our carnivorous ocean-dwelling alpha-species counterparts.  Plus a cat in a Great White’s jaws is hilarious.


Price: $19.95

Ever wonder how to do the Thriller dance?  Well here’s the shirt that shows you how!!  With the help of NerdyShirt’s three easy to follow steps, you can be wowing your friends on the dance floor and starting giant Thriller reenactments everywhere you go!  Plus Mike is wearing the classic threads on the shirt.

BustedTees Friday

September 11th, 2009 by Phil

Another Friday, another Hawaiian shirt day here at the office.  I guess we should just make it BustedTees shirt day on Friday to go with the site but… whatever.  Today we are featuring a “MadMen” shirt from BustedTees.  There has been much praise for this Emmy and Golden Globe winning series, so now they’re making t-shirts for it.  MadMen, ya, on AMC. That channel you have to look up.  What do you mean you haven’t seen Mad Men?

Creatures on T-Shirts

September 7th, 2009 by Phil

Today we’re going to be taking a look at Creatures on T-Shirts.  Creatures on T-Shirts is a European based t-shirt company that features a string of animal themes, each with their own line of shirts.  The shirt we are going to take a look at is in the “Egg” series: “The Egg and the Usual Suspects.”  The 3D model of the egg looks cool and the way the graphic is presented is unlike most of the stuff that we are used to.  The extent of the designs featured on the site is a little sparse however, and the egg is the only “character” to be represented in more than three shirts.  Although they get points for originality, these themes and designs don’t seem to be very engaging for the adult population.  Creatures on T-Shirts would however, be fitting for children who might appreciate the characters a little more.


Price: 17 Euros (about $25)

Tenbills Tuesday

September 1st, 2009 by Phil

A couple new designs from TenBills this week.  They’re still doing their pre-order only with the new designs but they’re 20% off with code: preorderoff.

Bigfoot vs. Bunyan is a design that I believe I’ve seen before in some kind of variation.  This depiction of Bigfoot vs. Bunyan looks much cooler however, as the two are interlocked in what promises to be a true battle of titans.  Paul probably shouldn’t have put down his axe however…


Price: $10.00
