Hey guys, just so you didn’t think I’d gone MIA I thought I’d better tell you that I’m down in the land of M.I.A, London (or as we Northerners call it, ‘that London’), for a couple of days, so no posts until Tuesday. If there’s no posts by Wednesday, panic and form search parties, I must be found!

I have updated the blog list yet again (160 sites now), so instead of reading new stuff on here, why not read stuff from the latest three additions:

Tspotter - t-shirts worn by celebrities
TSHIRTBLOG.RU - A t-shirt blog, from Russia, obviously.
Life On A Shirt - The blog of Spreadshirt US supremo Jana Eggers

I liked the Olympics opening ceremony (colours! fireworks! dancing!), but there was one thing that really annoyed me. When they were making the speeches someone said something along the lines of “we’ve met all the aims and goals that the IOC gave us in hosting these games,” and I sat up in my chair a little bit since I’m pretty sure one of the conditions of them hosting the games was that they eased up on treating their own people like crap, yet they’ll just sweep that under the rug (and everyone else in the world will let them) and pretend that everything’s fine for a couple of weeks. With that little rant in mind, I’m really glad that Shirtspotting put together a post of tees that I wouldn’t dare wear in Beijing, so fair play to the woman above!

Read the post here.

*This post is all admin, but at least you got to look at a pretty picture*

I’ve done a little bit of cleaning up to the site which should make it a bit easier to navigate and hopefully make it attractive to new readers visiting the wonderful world of HYA for the first time.

The archives are no longer listed on the sidebar as they were becoming too long, and can now be found on their own dedicated archives page. This page actually has more info on it, like the amount of posts in each category and amount of posts per month, so I think moving the archives to their own page should make things a lot easier for those of you wanting to delve into HYAs past.

Each post now has ‘related posts’ listed underneath them. I wonder if the posts related to this article are also boring admin stuff?

You may have noticed that the ancient “Should I write about coats” poll has gone. This doesn’t mean I’m never going to run another poll again, it just means that I don’t see much need in leaving up the previous poll for almost a year when you guys can’t even vote on it.

I’ve installed a plugin that allows me to gather data on which articles are the most popular (fun!), so I can see what you like and what you don’t like. The top 10 articles (based upon the plugins algorithm) can be found on the bottom of the sidebar. That placement might change in the near future because I don’t like the way it looks. Predictably, the most popular articles are my list based posts, like the tee blog lists, and the robot tees list.

You can now subscribe to comments by e-mail. I noticed that on a lot of other blogs there was an option for people to check a box when they left a comment which meant they would be sent an e-mail if anyone else left a comment on that blog post, and I thought that was a great idea since I’m always forgetting to check back to pages I’ve left comments on, so hopefully you’ll find this option useful in keeping conversations going in comment threads.

If there’s anything that you like or don’t like about the changes, or if there’s some kind of functionality that you think this site desperately needs, please get in touch or leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.

[Picture unrelated to anything, I just think that Ames Rooms are cool]

T-shirt Island has changed its name to Cottonable, which doesn’t really change anything in terms of the blog, but it is a pretty cool name.

Shirtlog, who had their first birthday recently (huzzah!), held an interview with Filip from Allmightys recently, check it out here.

Subtraction, which is a very nicely designed blog, has posted a great description of Rumplo, in case you don’t know what it is yet.

Atticus (the brand founded by Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge of Blink 182, though Hoppus doesn’t have anything to do with it now) and Ebtm (a British clothing site) have launched a fashion blog that I imagine British emo and scene kids might like.

Continuing the music theme, Ian Watkins, who is the singer/frontman of the Lostprophets, a band who are big in the UK (I’ve seen ‘em twice), has moved on from designing the bands album covers and merch, and released his own line of t-shirts with the brand name of Made In Hell, which are actually pretty good, and to prove that he’s keeping it indie and not selling out to ‘the man’ the store is powered by Big Cartel. If you’re wondering how I’m shoehorning this piece of news into a post about blogs… ummm… here’s an interview he did with Punktastic.

You The Designer wrote up a great tutorial last year (and I just re-found it in my bookmarks) that they’ve called “The Ultimate Guide to Designing Your Own Custom T-Shirts“, that’s a pretty lofty claim, but it is a pretty good guide to be fair to them.

Remember last year when I wrote an article called 65 t-shirt blogs, and I said that I didn’t think I would have found and written about all of them? Well, I was right, very right. I’ve managed to find 133 t-shirt blogs, and websites related to t-shirts that I think are of interest enough to be included in this list, and put together the second edition of the great big t-shirt blog list. The original 65 blogs are underneath the 71 latest editions and haven’t really been touched. With the new sites I’ve also included how frequently they’re updated so that you know whether you’re visiting a ghost ship of a blog before clicking through. Remember, this list isn’t in any kind of order, so if you write a tee blog and find yourself listed low down, don’t worry, that doesn’t mean anything, its just how I happened to write the list.

Any blogs that I’ve missed off the list and been notified about at a later date are going to be added right at the bottom of the list, at the moment there are 27 additions.

1. BLOKK
Update Frequency: A couple of times a week - active
Bio: Blokk is a Russian language blog, but they often let the pictures do the talking, so don’t let that language barrier stop you giving it a look.
Link

2. Crucial Headache [Dead]
Update Frequency: Couple of times a month - currently MIA for 1 month
Bio:This guy only writes about t-shirts he owns, usually vintage band ones, and whilst posts are relatively few and far between they are usually really long posts and quite a good read.
Link

3. Tee Blast [Dead]
Update Frequency:N/A
Bio: I’m sure this used to be a blog, but now just redirects to a parked domain page, it might pop back up in the future, who knows!
Link

4. T-Shirt Gumbo
Update Frequency: About four times a month - active
Bio: Not my particular cup of tea, but if you’re into ‘funny’ shirts then this could be the blog for you.
Link

5. Aaron’s T-Shirt Review
Update Frequency: About 3 times a month - variable but active
Bio: Almost all the links might be affiliate-based, but its still a pretty good read, and in a more traditional website format than a regular blog.
Link

6. Fat Seagull
Update Frequency:Daily - active
Bio: Very much an underrated blog from the UK, one of my favourites in the the t-shirt world, lots of great streetwear tees.
Link

Bio: Whilst this site may not have been updated for a long time, there are 12 pages of archives to look over.
Link

9. T-Shirt Casserole
Update Frequency: About 4/5 times a month - active
Bio: Their description says “t-shirts from anywhere.” Anywhere, as long as its CafePress, apparently. This is pretty old in blog terms so expect a nice big archive.
Link

10. 辣椒网志
Update Frequency: 4/5 times a month - active
Bio: It’s all written in Chinese, so I can’t tell you if its a good read, but the author does pick good brands.
Link (Google translated to English)

11. You Design It - Blog [Corporate]
Update Frequency: Daily
Bio: Promotional blog for a custom printing company called You Design It.
Link

12. Thy Goodies [Dead]
Update Frequency: Two a month, with frequent breaks, no posts for last two months, dead?

Link

13. Chewing Glass Tees [Dead]
Update Frequency: Daily until going MIA two months ago
Bio: Mostly funny tee recommendations, with good commentary.
Link

Link

16. T Shirty.net
Update Frequency: Due to it’s nature, its quite hard to tell, but no new tees have been added since January - probably active

Link

17. T-Shirt Advocate
Update Frequency: Every few days, had a couple of weeks off, but I’d presume it will be back - active
Bio: Slick looking blog with really quality posts and brands.
Link

18. Rumplo
Update Frequency: Lots of tees every day - very active
Bio: This isn’t a blog, but needs to be included in almost any t-shirt list. Rumplo is a place where people post cool tees and they get commented on and faved, its a young site but already popular so there are lots of tees to look at.
Link

19. Got Apparel Official Blog [Corporate]
Update Frequency: Dependent upon whether there is company news, 1 post a week generally

Bio: A slick looking blog all about clothing for, by, and about mixed martial artists.

23. Chaunt
Update Frequency: Irregular (and the blogger knows it!) - active

Link

24. TShirt Review
Update Frequency: Every couple of days - active
Bio: This well-written blog that uncovers brands that you don’t see much of in the t-blogosphere. One thing that makes me uneasy about them is that you can pay them to review your company.
Link

25. Blog T-shirt [Dead]
Update Frequency: Irregular, MIA for a couple of months - possibly dead
Bio: This blog, which I think is written by someone for whom English isn’t their first language, seems to be for a guy to show off his t-shirt designs (which are available through Spreadshirt), but he seems to have given up just a few weeks into the project.
Link

26. The T-shirt Review
Update Frequency: Daily- active
Bio: Well written and well designed, what’s not to like!
Link

27. Jay’s Van Tribe Blog [Corporate]
Update Frequency: Weekly

Link

28. Thunderfrogs
Update Frequency: Near daily - active
Bio: In what might be one of the most bizarre pairings I’ve ever come across, Thuderfrogs blogs about t-shirts and horse racing. Now that is a niche!

Link

30. Contrast Shop Blog [Corporate] [Dead]
Update Frequency: Very irregular, MIA for 3 months - possibly dead
Bio: Full Disclosure: I used to write this blog but quit a while back. Naturally, it’s well written, and serves as promotion for Contrast Shop, but did cover some other tee related chatter as well.
Link

31. Assault Apparel’s Blog [Corporate]
Update Frequency: Daily - active
Bio: This blog serves as promotion for Assault Apparel, but the writer also makes a lot of effort to help others making their way in the tee business by writing tutorials for designers and providing other valuable information.
Link

32. tshirtreviewblog.com
Update Frequency: It was frequent until going MIA a month ago, though the write did explain that they were sorry for the absence and hope to be back soon.
Bio: Well written blog that ticks all the boxes in my opinion, hopefully the writer will indeed be back soon.
Link

33. TV Teez [Dead]
Update Frequency: Irregular, possibly dead, only 3 posts written
Bio: I like the idea of a blog written about t-shirts that are about and from TV shows, but when you’ve written 3 posts in 3 months then things aren’t looking so good.
Link

34. Buy This T-shirt
Update Frequency: Multiple posts daily - active
Bio: Just pictures of good tees (excellent product picks), that’s how I like it.
Link

35. Indie Clothing Blog

Update Frequency: Regular posts every few days - active
Bio: “The funny T-shirt blog”, so I guess you know what kind of designs you’re in for if you click through!

Update Frequency: Regular, at least once a week - active
Bio: Nice commentary, nice (non-arty) product picks.
Link

38. Black T-shirt |Blog
Update Frequency: Almost daily - active
Bio: When I found a blog called ‘Black T-shirt blog’ I figured that all the tees would be black. Wrong! They like all the colours of the rainbow, and they also seem to like text tees too.
Link

39. Talk About T-shirts [Dead]
Update Frequency: Daily, then weekly, now MIA - presumably dead
Bio: Only four posts, so clearly the author got tired of the subject rather quickly, and didn’t really know what direction to take the blog in (startup guide? designer resource? product picks?)
Link

40. Tee vs Tee
Update Frequency: New tees frequently added
Bio: This site presents you with two tees, you pick your favourite of the two, and then you repeat the process. The best performing tees get onto a leaderboard. *Only the leaderboard is available at the moment, I’m not sure if the interactive part of the site is going to come back.
Link

41. T*Fodder
Update Frequency: Hard to tell, still probably active
Bio: Another site which aims to rate and rank tees using user voting. Looks pretty slick, too.
Link

42. T-shirt Rank
Update Frequency: Dependent upon users - active
Bio: Another ranking site, this one uses a chart format, a tee gets voted for, it moves up the chart, voted down, and it moves down. It’s a pretty old school looking site with tees that I probably wouldn’t (they’re mostly ‘funny’ and offensive) wear.
Link

43. T-shirt Countdown Chart
Update Frequency: Dependent upon users - active
Bio: Pretty much exactly the same as T-shirt rank except a nicer looking site with better tees on its chart.

If you know of any that aren’t on this list please include them in the comments so that I can add them. There are no guarantee’s of quality in this list, some of the blogs do rely a bit too much on affiliate links in their tee picks for my liking, but give most of them are worth a look in my opinion.
