I have no idea why I like this tee so much, but I think it’s pretty beautiful.

The pic doesn’t make it particularly obvious, but there are lots of little blue drops of rain printed over the body of the tee, which is fairly clever. I really like the style in which the umbrella-toting woman is drawn, it reminds me of kozyndan for some reason despite not using a similar style, maybe its because of the colour palette.

I’ve got no idea who these two guys are, but I guess I’m a bit of a sucker for photo tees.

From the IF:

From the Imagination Foundation website: “This sublimated T shirt is printed on a specially developed fabric to maximize colour and resolution, yet still have a comfy organic feel on the inside. The exterior face is polyester and the interior is cotton. The print is on both the front and back making the entire shirt our canvas. The fidelity of the image on this garment surpasses even the definition of our screen printed shirts.”

Now this, this I’d like to see, sounds like it might even be worth the $45.

Let me start this post by apologising, because this tee sold out over a month ago, but I didn’t find out about it until a couple of days ago, so there wasn’t really a lot that I could do.

When the FBI release files under the Freedom of Information Act they often blank out certain pieces of information that it has been decided need to be kept secret, usually the most exciting parts, which can often result in files that look like the one in the t-shirt about the FBI file of Pablo Picasso (whose birth name was… “Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso”). I really like the like the idea of an administrative file about an artist becoming art itself.

Usually I’m not all that excited by the designs that are on Shirt.Woot, they’re always technically well produced and they have good artists, but the style doesn’t always appeal to me, and the style doesn’t seem to vary all that much, although I don’t check in with Shirt.Woot everyday so I could easily be wrong about that. It might also be the case that I’m not in line with the average wooter as well, since I think this tee is brilliant, yet it hasn’t sold out yet. Usually good shirts on Woot sell out pretty quickly.

I really like this shirt, but I think I’d like it even more if there was one little change. The coloured part is meant to be the characters finding colours as if they’d struck oil right? Wouldn’t it be cool if there were drops of colour landing on the characters and landscape slowly turning them into their coloured versions? Maybe that would be really hard to print, I dunno, but that was where my mind went when I saw this design.

I can’t remember if this is a new or old design, but does that really matter? What matters is that its an eBoy tee and looks damn fine.

*Upon further investigation, the tee is pretty new as it was only released on July 8th.

I found this on Flickr, and then it was the tee of the day on Rumplo, so I got to cover two of my features in one post (Flickr Finds & Rumplo Rocks), jackpot!

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen gloves stitched somewhere that you wouldn’t expect, although when you see them on a hoodie it makes sense, they’re there to keep you warm, but when you put a glove onto a t-shirt you get something that is a whole lot more weird, wacky and pretty darned wonderful. Of course, you don’t have to put your hand in it, Here Itself suggest that you could put your ID, wallet, or iPod in it. May I suggest you go post modern with it and put an oven mitt in there?

Here’s yet another instance in which we really, really, really (really) need some decent sized product pictures of this tee. In Graniph’s own description of the tee they talk about how the tee “features an excellent balance between black arches and the typography, which makes you feel comfortable.” Awesome, except we have no idea what the typography looks like or says.

Apparently I’m not the only person that thinks Rumplo Rocks, seeing as, at the time of writing, they’re ranked in joint second in a BusinessWeek “Best and Worst of Web Design” poll, which rather ironically has an error itself, saying that Google has 3% of the vote, whilst placing it at the top of the list (I suspect that it has something in the 30-39% range).

I think the quality that draws me towards this tee is that it reminds me of looking up at clouds and trying to find shapes, you can look at this tee design and make up your own mind what its meant to be… or you could just read the description on the site.
