Hackney Pirates to be precise. Like Cedya. Who is 10 and from London. Her T-shirt is about being attacked by fire dragons and flying cars.
And her design is just one in a range of sixteen beautiful T-shirts produced by the Hackney Pirates, an innovative learning project that develops literacy by giving children one to one attention in an unconventional learning environment.
At the heart of the project lies the idea that learning should be an adventure and a belief in the power of one-to-one attention as a hugely powerful educational tool.
The pirates ‘Young Pirate Apprentice’ t- shirt project has seen children aged 9-12 work together with creative professionals not just on the design of t-shirts but on market research and planning and developing the entire sales and marketing strategy.

Andy: Very cool idea, it’s posts like this that make me glad I have the submissions setup here on HYA.

I would be lying if I said that the shirts at Purpleberry Blue were of my typical style, but that’s okay, partly because I don’t have to like everything, and partly because they only sell shirts for women and children. 10% of every shirt sold on Purpleberry Blue goes to help Crohn’s disease research, and that’s not just some charity that they’re picked out of the air, it means something. Will, the guy that started PB, suffered from Crohn’s disease from the age of 12 to 19, I don’t know how old he is now but I get the feeling that he is one of the fortunate one’s who have been able to get over the disease, and because he feels lucky to have his health back he wants to help others. I respect that a lot and wish him the best of luck.

As usual, this post comes with the usual explanation that I don’t spend that much time with kids (more now than before, admittedly), so I could be off base when I talk about clothing for kids. That said, when I look at the designs for ShirtsThatGo all I can think is that when I was that age I’d have really liked this shirts because some of them have trucks on them and trucks were/are awesome. I presume that’s still the case for young boys now (I think we’re hard-wired to believe that tractors are cool), so I think ShirtsThatGo may well have a fine future ahead of them.

Little Creeps was started in September 2011 as a way to introduce youngsters (from infants & toddlers to preteens) to the wonderful world of horror with kid friendly & age appropriate designs such as the Zombie Kid & Wolf Boy on fashionable, high quality apparel at affordable prices. Why? Because I believe that kids should be able to wear apparel that reflect their interests and Little Creeps is dedicated to ensuring young horror fans have the attire to express their love for Monsters, Zombies and everything Halloween.
Andy: Kind of funny that they call it ‘ghoulish fun for everyone’ when they only make kids shirts, but I do like the idea of a the indie world colliding with the kid world to produce more HYA-friendly designs.

We all know that when it comes to kids clothing I know little, but as with most art I know what I like and that’s probably enough to get by. Pip Squeak is a new brand that will be creating t-shirts for kids (they don’t carry adult sizes), at the moment they only have the above logo shirt in store (also available printed on red), but it’s a cool logo so hopefully that bodes well for the future and I look forward to seeing what they come out with next. This shirt is $15, parent of HYA, is that a decent price point for a child’s t-shirt, or is it too much considering that there is a limited life cycle for children’s clothing?

If you are a regular visitor to the hipster’s best friend, Urban Outfitters, then you may well have seen a book by Avery Monsen and Jory John called “All my friends are dead.” One of the authors got in touch to let my know that they had taken one of their illustrations and put it on a heather grey t-shirt, and mighty nice it looks too.
