After the success and popularity of my previous list posts such at the 202 Star Wars t-shirts and robot lists (and of course the ridiculously meta list of t-shirt lists), I started saving up links of tees that fit into various categories, but there’s no point me just saving them up indefinitely, so it’s about time I started posting all these lists, most of them don’t quite breach the lofty barrier of more than 100 items in a list, but as they say, it’s not the size, it’s the amount of time Andy spent thinking up the metaphor.
As fasr as t-shirts go, few are more iconic than the design Milton Glaser created to help promote New York (the state, not just the city) back in the 70s. That design has gone on to be used in hundreds of different ways and become part of American pop culture, so it’s hardly surprising that the style has found it’s way onto more than a few t-shirts.
As ever with my list posts, THEY ARE NOT IN ANY RANKED ORDER, the numbers are merely there to keep track of the amount of tees in the list. I say this every time and no one seems to listen, it’s as if you skip the intro and move straight on to all the tees! Also, there are some affiliate linked shirts in there, so it’s possible I will earn money from people buying certain t-shirts on this list, but as I’ve listed just about as many as I could find, it’s hardly surprising that some of the companies have affiliate programmes. Some of the tees in the list are sold out already, and depending upon the success of this post some of them could become sold out in the future, but they could also be reprinted, so in many ways these tees are like Schroedinger’s cat before you click on the link. The list has been split into two pages to make things a little bit easier on my server, but please click through to the second page, because some of my favourites are on there and I think the list finishes pretty strongly, so they’re all worth checking out.
As ever, any exposure you can give to the list (stumble, tweet, delicious bookmark, blog post, digg, ill-considered full-back tattoo) will be greatly appreciated, and I’ll write up a thank you post with links back to everyone that helped in a couple of weeks. Now let’s go love some t-shirts!

Some really cool designs. Great t shirt site
Love it! Toxic Waste FTW!
Nice work! I was hoping to find this one amongst them, this is most definitely my favourite I Love shirt:
http://blendapparel.com/node/40
FYI I<3NY is trade marked and according to business week they can be heavy handed about it. I hope this is not a list of soon to be take down orders.

BTW I <3 Robots and I can not wait for a new list of them … even if I need to stop before I am "that guy with all of the robot shirts".
@Dave IroNy by Blend is on here (and I was actually wearing it a few days ago, I love bamboo!) you’ll find it on page two, it’s #68.
@Joe, I read up a little bit about that, but these people presumably made the designs knowing that it’s a trademarked design, and they’re all fairly easy to find on the ‘net too. Also, similar concerns were raised about my Star Wars list and as far as I know there haven’t been any takedown notices served because of it (yet). Duly noted about the robots, though I haven’t got any robot links saved up yet.
well I’ll be…, I scrolled right by that one – sorry mate! you sure were right about saving some of your favourites for page 2.
also a fan of bamboo, but I think it’s hard for people to imagine what it would feel like. perhaps they are worried about splinters.

The Iheart t-shirt has had a big impact on me in the past few years. My IheartPGH t-shirt started back in 2005 – I made a visit to the Andy Warhol Museum – and decided I wanted to learn to screen print – the first shirt I printed in my basement was an I heart PGH t-shirt. A few years later I set up the blog IheartPGH.com – A year later a kind reader left a comment on my blog about Spreadshirt – I was thrilled to find an easier way of sending t-shirts and I ended up working for Spreadshirt too!
The I heart PGH t-shirt even made it to the New York Times article about t-shirts and cities. – http://iheartpgh.com/2008/07/13/pittsburghers-are-tasty-new-york-times-looks-at-t-shirts-and-cities/
Also check out this great I bike PGH t-shirt from Garbella – http://urbanvelo.org/garbella-i-bike-pgh-t-shirt/
