Chop Shop just keep finding new things to turn into silhouettes, don’t they?

This time around they’re giving us the hairstyles of 101 iconic women from past and present, and 31 rockers whose careers peaked in the 80s and you probably last saw on a reality show or VH1.

8-bit adventure gaming meets Curling?

8-bit curling t-shirt

On the face of it, the concept of a t-shirt about curling (the winter sport involving stones and brushes that apparently Scottish women are good at) done in the style of an 8-bit cartridge game package from the 80s doesn’t sound like it would catch my fancy, and when the designer sent me an e-mail about it was wasn’t that intrigued to be honest, but I clicked through anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised by what confronted me. Something isn’t sitting quite right with me about the font used for ‘curling adventure’ but I don’t really know what it is or how I would make it better, so it’s a bit of an open-ended gripe.

The Chop Shop 80s Pop Culture Reference T-shirt

80s t-shirt

I’m pretty sure that in my last Chop Shop post I said I was getting a bit bored of their silhouette tees since they were flogging a dead horse. Well, perhaps not a dead horse, but one that was slowing down somewhat. This latest tee appears to have revied the style, adding in a new style, new shapes, and more colours. I like it.

Delorean Time Machine Schematic by 80sTees

Back To The Future Dr E Brown Enterprises Schematic T 480x387 Delorean Time Machine Schematic by 80sTees
I know that this t-shirt comes from 80sTees and therefore isn’t ‘cool’, because really, who hasn’t heard of 80sTees? However, as a child of the 80s, I am always willing to overlook a few things if it allows me to get nostalgic about the movies I loved when I was young and not quite as bitter, and to be fair to this design, there isn’t really much more they could do with the concept, at least the blue of the shirt is being used as the ‘paper’ for the blueprints to be drawn onto.

80s Checker by Loyal Army

20.09.2009

I remember being really excited to find the Loyal Army store on Haight St when I was in San Francisco earlier in the year. I also remember being a little disappointed that they didn’t have more designs for guys, but their style is probably a little feminine for most dudes anyway, so it’s understandable.

Greasy Tony’s Steaks & Hoagies by Found Item Clothing

19.01.2009

You know what I’m looking forward to when I finally, finally, get to America, which will hopefully be next week (fingers crossed!), is to eat a hoagie and lots of other stuff that I know would result in me clogging my arteries if I lived there for more than 6 months. It’s funny that on [...]

“Celebrating” Sarcasm Day by tiexano [Flickr Finds]

07.10.2008

In case you can’t read the text, it says “Teenage Mutant Ninja: 80s Reference”. This tee pretty much sums up how I feel about tees that ape on cultural icons from my childhood. On the one hand, they’re usually a lot of fun, but on the other, they just seem a bit lazy, it sometimes [...]

Lets form Voltron! by Local Celebrity [Review]

29.09.2008

What? Did I just manage to go a whole week without writing about a tee from Local Celebrity? I guess you could say the same thing about going a whole week without seeing a tee that was about Voltron! Anyway, here we are with yet another Voltron tee that gets a lot more love from [...]

Wanna Go Make Out In My Porsche by Local Celebrity [Review]

01.09.2008

I don’t wanna get all Lynne Truss on you guys, but the slogan on this t-shirt is quite clearly a question, and what do questions have? Question marks. Otherwise, how would you know what was a question… ? My pedantic grammar concerns aside, this tee is classic Local Celebrity. These guys really have the faux-80s [...]

Candy Kiss by Public Domain Clothing @ Karmaloop

24.04.2008

Holy 80s Batman!Seriously, have you ever seen a tee design that wasn’t made in the 80s that looked more 80s than this? I do have a little knit to pick though, the eye on the left (as we look at it) does seem to be a bit too far on the left, although I guess [...]

The Totally Radical T-shirt by Obey @ Karmaloop

18.04.2008

I once tried to bring back some words from the 80s into the regular chatter of my circle friends a while back, but it turns out that saying ‘radical’ when you mean that something was ‘good’ wasn’t a radical idea back then and it still isn’t particularly radical. Needless to say, I failed in my [...]
