In a fit of what might be irony (to be honest, like a lot of people, I could be calling a lot of things ironic when the word I’m actually looking for is ‘coincidence’), I like these tees, they’re very wearable and I think they’d go well as part of an outfit, but I’m not excited by them. Perhaps I’ve come to expect too much of Ugmonk, who in my mind are one of the best type tee labels out there, because I’ve wanted to wear basically everything they’ve put out before, but these two designs seem to be lacking a certain something compared to a great design like ‘& then I woke up‘. That said, there is definitely an ‘Ugmonk style’ to previous releases, and whilst there’s a case for sticking with with what works, you’ve also got to respect Jeff (Sheldon, the brands founder) for doing what he wants and trying something different.
Please note that these shirts only come as a pair, you cannot purchase them separately.

I’ve got a Yes/No design on my website, ‘Decidophobia’ t-shirt design, check it out, thanks.
YES, Colours are great!
Yes these are a bit different from our other designs, but that was our goal. Ugmonk is not a type tee company—though there are currently a lot of typographic designs—but rather is about designing high quality products with simple, fresh graphics. I do respect your honest critiques of all the shirts your write about.
Very generic. Reminds me of something a European company would do.
