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 Link
How Many Licks? by Ian Leino @ Threadless

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.
Am I the only one who feels a little bit uncomfortable when companies sell items that have recently deceased celebrities on them. I’m sure that its intended to be a fashion-based tribute to Heath, but when they charge $45 for the tee they must be making a profit on it, and whether they mean to or not, they’re profiting on someone’s death, although looking around the rest of the CyanaBoutique this is actually one of the cheaper pieces (they’re on the higher end of things), so my argument may be moot.
Still, let’s pretend this isn’t a tee with a dead celebrity on it and all of a sudden its a really cool image, which I feel is slightly cheapened by the addition of the ‘R.I.P Heath’ text. I like the black and white print as well, I think that attempting a colour print could have ruined this design.

I’m going to make you work for this, instead of posting all the pics here and making it easy, I’m going to do the right thing and just link to the slideshow (that favourite inflater of pageviews of the mainstream media) provided by Entertainment Weekly of 15 famous people, most of which are actually famous which is somewhat of a rarity these days, wearing their favourite t-shirts. If you want to know which celebs are in the slideshow, I’ve listed them all in the tags to this post, I picked Tina Fey for the post pic over the others because I utterly love 30 Rock… and because I think shes kinda hot…
I wouldn’t know where to start in trying to find these tees for purchase, but hey, it’s Friday, have some fun with it!
Do you ever get kind of depressed that there are just so many issues nowadays that need people’s help? It sometimes feels like if something exists then there is a high likelihood that something is trying to kill it, and that there are some people trying to save it. Can’t we just have something that is good that isn’t in danger?
I don’t know if that’s what 1Soul Designs were going for with this design, but that was what I thought of, and I really like the doodle-style hand-drawn text that they’ve written ‘Rebel With Too Much Cause’ in, it helps to keep things a bit light-hearted in the face of social responsibility overload.
