Urbam Industry and Ultrarama! team up for a credit crunch busting tee

ultrarama x ui 480x456 Urbam Industry and Ultrarama! team up for a credit crunch busting tee

Perfect for the modern economic times we find ourselves in, this unique collaboration Tee is available exclusively from Urban Industry at www.urbanindustry.co.uk!

Entitled “WORK! EARN! SPEND!”, this exclusive tee plays on the notion of “Urban Industry” and the “City Worker”, and the endless treadmill of the rat race. Designed ahead of recent stock market volatility, the design is remarkably prescient of current economic times and the trouble city bankers now find themselves in, running to stand still.

With a half-tone newspaper-style print and retro shop-window graphics, the Ultrarama x Urban Industry collaboration tee puts a Sixties spin on the modern workplace.
Urban Industry have chosen Ultrarama! as the first brand to collaborate with.

I really like the way that the half-tone of the background image has the solid text running over it.

Supercombo – Nerdy tees that actually look good

by Andy on November 3, 2008

in Mens,T-shirts,Womens


I know that we’re makin great strides as an industry with this niche, but all too often clothing aimed at gamers, geeks, nerds, and other people that are a little disappointed when you tell them you don’t use Linux is just a bit terrible. Supercombo (who are something to do with Funkrush, which can only be a good thing) saw that problem, and decided to do their part in fixing it. The result is three tees (so far) that are a bit nerdy, and a bit awesome.

Let Me Go To London – buy a t-shirt

lmgtl xs 479x640 Let Me Go To London   buy a t shirt

This is pretty cool, a student called Edwin from Malaysia (currently studying in Singapore) needs to raise some cash for an upcoming school trip the UK, so he’s selling a tee. The trip will see Edwin going to Loughborough University, which is just 10 miles from the university I attended, and one of my best friends went to Loughborough, so I hope Edwin knows what he’s in for. Whenever I visited there was always people playing sport, jogging around campus, and just generally being far too healthy to be normal students. To be fair, they did know how to party… and the girls had great taste.

To Edwin’s credit, he isn’t using the story to tug at heart-strings to earn a sale, I really like the tee design, he’s subtly played the campaign name into the design, but since the name is fairly generic, lots of people can wear it and it not be a charity tee, but just a tee that they like.

And the winner is… [Competitions]

splitreasonwinner 480x265 And the winner is... [Competitions]

Once again, I turned to the trusty Random.org integer generator, put in the amount of comments on the competition page (23, not too shabby guys!) and asked it to pick out one number for me, that number was 3 (or ‘trois’, as I have been calling it for a while), which means that the winner of the $25 gift certificate from Split Reason is….

….

Curtis!

Curtis said that his favourite game of all time (all time!) was ‘Jazz Jackrabbit 2‘, which I think its fair to say is a somewhat unusual choice, considering he could have picked Goldeneye, which is blatantly a lot better.

Congratulations to Curtis, and keep a look out for more competitions on Hide Your Arms in the near future, and when I say near future, I mean that there is going to be another competition as soon as I can think up a decent question.

Using Evil Knieval in the title represents something to us about living [...]

Newvember at Linty Fresh

03.11.2008

Just a heads up, I’m going to be using the term Newvember all month, or at least until I stop finding it amusing. Linty Fresh have released a couple of new tees (Cyril the Cyclone & Fish, etc.) for November, and also the very exciting concept of the ‘bundle box‘. In a bundle box, you [...]

Save money at the Chop Shop all the way up to… Christmas

03.11.2008

I can’t believe I’ve already mentioned Christmas twice on HYA and its only just into November, there should be a moratorium on all Christmas promotions until December. I guess I’m part of the problem, but since these code will work until December 25th it would have been a bit odd for me to report on [...]
