It has been far, far too long since we’ve taken a look at Universe on a T-shirt, but I guess that absence makes the heart grow fonder since I’ve fallen in love with their designs all over again. It’s also nice to see that HYA is still on their
press page too.
The tees still don’t really have names or descriptions (some have partial names in their image files), but in the case of UoaT I actually prefer not having a description because their designs are so ambiguous that I like thinking about my own interpretations, so i guess I’d be kind of spoiling it for you if I told you what I thought this tee was about.

Oh look, a t-shirt with a robot on it, how very unusual for HYA!
There’s quite a lot of tees out there that riff on the traditional image of monkey-to-man evolution, and I think that this one can stand proudly amongst them… because of the big robot on it. Also, you’ve got to applaud RRP OFF for having some of the strangest promo pics that I’ve seen in a long time.

I know that in practically every self-improvement article I read says that if you stop watching as much TV then your life will be better… lies. At no point in my life have I ever thought that I watch too much TV, if anything I need to watch more, I’ve never watched any 24, Alias or Sopranos, and just two episodes of Carnivale, which looked pretty amazing. Any other great show that you think might have slipped under my radar?
So, with that in mind, I am philosophically opposed to this
hoodie, unless they’re just trying to find a fun way of destroying antiquated TVs…

I keep hearing rumblings that
Design By Humans is ‘taking over’
Threadless as the design competition to keep your eyes on. Personally, I think of them as serving separate markets, even if some of the artists submit designs to both sites, DBHs style is definitely evolving in a way that moves it away from Threadless.Industry-musing aside, this is a great looking tee and yet another solid release, it reminds me of Imaginary Foundation’s style (hmmm, I wonder why), casajordi has done a great job of putting a lot of elements, yet somehow managing to balance it and not make the design feel too busy.Costiness=$19

Even if you don’t recognise the name, I’m sure you’ll recognise some of
his previous Threadless winners, one of which has a great shot at winner a Bestee when the Threadless awards are announced soon. Also, I should probably mention that I got the above picture from his site, since it showed off the design and the tee better than the fun pics on the
Threadless site, but I don’t think it will annoy him too much since it helps expose his design.
If you get your kicks from faux-vintage, faux-technical, faux-factual designs then I’m sure you’re a pretty happy chappy (or chapette) having taken a look at this design. The colourway looks really nice as well, it keeps the illusion of old paper going pretty well.

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I like to point it out when I see an interesting
hoodie, even if I personally wouldn’t buy it. One of the reasons why I usually wouldn’t buy these items is because they’re made for women, beyond that Volcom hooded blazer that I, shall we say,
wasn’t particularly fond of, there just aren’t too many innovative
hoodies out there for guys, unless we start getting into the arena of items made for hikers and walkers.
I like this hoodie, the massive hood conjours up images of little red riding hood, and the plaid gives you so many options when layering it with other items. But I would love to know where the hoodie she’s wearing under the plaid one comes from, since the two pieces seem to work well together. It might be this hoodie, but I think that’s grey and has too smaller hood, still, just because I can’t find the picture combo doesn’t stop this from being a great looking piece.
