wear this tee today
This is what I’m wearing today. Well, it’s not. Because I don’t have one of these lovely, simple shirts. I’m a fan of the teetonic tees, having bought a few in the past. The print on the paclove tee was a little plasticky - but the others have all been flawless and printed on top quality tees.
When we get live ink on shirts ( like a book reader - where little liquid crystal puddles roam about on your shirt under the instruction of a little wifi enabled cpu in the tag ) this could say ‘this is what I wore yesterday’ or ‘wear this tomorrow - you haven’t worn it for days and it looks great with those new Gap jeans’. And when you do your laundry it could say ‘top drawer, middle pile’ o help you put it away. Wow - live shirt ink will rule! That and flying cars.
Oh - and be sure to visit the homepage on teetonic to check if their 50% discount code is still available!
zombie shapes
Zombie t-shirts make me happy. I’m wearing one right now. They demonstrate that you understand the fragility of life, that you appreciate the privilige that it is to be alive during these particularly civilised times, and that you can see through common civility to the evil heart of those around you who wish you dead and your brans in their casserole. Even the vegans want your brains when the zombies hit! Life on a credit card could become life on the run in seconds.
That, and dancing zombie prisoners are amusing. Another threadless classic.
$3 tee at chop shop
Chopshop are certainly hitting the mark with the rocker tees. (btw - Need to kill time at your desk in the festive wind down? head over here…) But OMG is too cool to cover the big buzzy shirts in anything but oblique reference. In these financially constrained times OMG loves a cheapie! And $3 is cheap! But is it any good? Yes. Excellent! Go buy one then. OK!. Well done!
Fear not - terrible conversational style posts are a rarity!
not tee scale
You see what I did there. Ho ho ho. Festive punnery and word play. How tiresome - or maybe it’s not! Maybe you need some shirt based wordy fun. If so - Walkie Talkie seem to have some original shirts here. I say seem to because whenever I say ‘original designs’ some of you email me some prior art on a cafe press shop of a weird, similar theme.
Either way - I love these shirts. Not to scale shown below made me laugh - and this mint one seems particularly excellent as a Christmas day shirt. It’s like wearing a game of dingbats.
gender equality at last
For far too long the world of tshirt design, along with many of the other fine arts, has been bogged down by gender stereotypes and inflexibility. A scientist hell bent on decimating the world cat population you say? Must be Male. A scientist researching some esoteric property of DNA which could stop the zombies getting us? Must be female. And hot.
Luckily for us when it comes to the moon, that most feminine of astral bodies, you can take your pick thanks in large part to wearscience.com and their innovative gender selector. I’m not talking the cut of the tee here - I’m talking the cut of the hair of the mad scientist ON the tee. Hurrah! Let the countown commence.
Great time to buy too because they are doing a ‘Just Call Me Santa‘ 20% off sale until the 15th. Coupon code: AMORPHIAROCKS

(btw - reading that back I think I might just have overdone the coffee this morning…)
tshirt video competition - 1000EURO
Apologies for the lack of a Euro symbol, my combination of keyboard and Vista seems to hate the EU. Even my PHONE has a Euro Key. The Euro symbol is actually quite nice - it’s worth about the same as a $ - less than a £ (for now!!) and makes a cheap jingly sound in your pocket.
Okay - so you can win a thousand of them with the shirtcity video competition. Enter it - especially is you have hammy acting skills. You’ll have a good chance of winning - everyone with a couple of days off, a camcorder or phone, and a Mac / PC with basic software should be entering. The closing date s SOOON so hurry hurry. This lazy blogger should have told you about it sooner - but hey - he had stones videos to watch on youtube…
Enter here, or watch my current favourite entry below… hmmm tasty shirtcakes! I’m talling you people - 2009 will be the year Tshirts when video!
You know - like we used to
The Beatles get all the love - but the Stones deserve it. Mick an’ Keef an’ the boys should have died in the 70’s - then they’d be gods too. Probably. But not before summer ‘78. Just for Miss You. Anyway - nice tasteful bra related tshirt from Waterloo - contnuing to provide old rockers and goths with band shirts to love without the scaryness of post sweaty guy vintage!
joy of life
Wow - I love green tshirts. They make me feel alive. They make me feel like a field - covered in cows eating clover. The very embodiment of a nice spring morning. This shirt even has live upon it! How double impact! Hurrah!
Get your significant other a red shirt to wear when you wear this for the festive season. To be covered with festive red and green goodness.
more tee videos please!
I love it. For too long teeland has been languishing in the written word and the tee model pic. It’s time to move into the youtube generation! It’s time to rock the bandwidth. I want to find every teeco working with video. Video is the future guys!
OK maybe I’m getting too excited - so this is a cute little video about how to run a teeco - well, if this is your only source material you’re doomed - but it’s good little intro. From http://www.imahottee.com this isn’t their only video either - check out hotteetv.
And here’s a tip people - if you’re looking on youtube for tshirt videos try searching for “tshirt -wet -shontelle” Those little minus signs are important! You dont want to go blind.
T-shirt chart for December 2008
The last OMG teeco chart of the year, and an interesting one. We deliberately kept it back a couple of days so we’d catch all the blogging about Black Friday sales - and BOY did it make a difference. Threadless off the top spot and 20 new entries in the top 50. There are about 100 extra teecos covered by the full chart this month - which is amazing (well, I think it’s pretty amazing!). Well done to Linty Fresh - obviously working the PR magic with the highest new entry!
As a reminder, this chart monitors all the tshirt blogs and watches which sites they link to from their homepage posts.

For the data geeks out there mintelligence made one change to the chart algorithm for us this month - removing more paid / affiliate / streetteam style links from the counts. This hit Threadless pretty hard - as they appear in most blogger sidebars with a streetteam tag. But I think this makes for a more interesting chart, actually reflecting the coverage new tees get, rather than the baseline popularity of a site.
I’d love to know if you have a gut feel that a teeco got more coverage than is apparent from the chart - so I can better check the results.
Sexy new look
OMGTees.com has a fresh new look for December 08. I hope you all like it.
The main change to the site is that we now have a monthly sponsorhip ‘thing’ going on at the head of the site. I’m exceptionally happy to have Orange Alexander on board as the first sponsor for OMG. This is still my favourite ecowarior tee for when I’m cycling to the supermarket.
Slots are being snapped up quickly - so if any teecos fancy a months worth of exposure to every OMG visitor sometime next year do drop me an email.
