This shirt was designed by: some up-and-comer named jamescho84, who can’t seem to let go of his childhood. Also stay the hell out of our mod forums, Cho. We don’t come to your house and carve our names in your bologna. Which reminds us, you’re out of bologna.

Wear this shirt: when you’re fully prepared to have someone ask you to identify each and every one of these characters or symbols.

Don’t wear this shirt: when you’re playing E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. Actually, just don’t play E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. They really don’t exaggerate about how bad it was.

This shirt tells the world: “Someone please tell me what that bunny holding a plunger is from!”

We call this color: You Little Punks Better Find Something Else To Do All Day Because If You’re Not Paying, You’re Loitering, And If You’re Loitering, You Got No Place In This Arcade And Need To Get Out There And Hit The Asphalt

Please check American Apparel's sizing chart for men or for women before you order. The Woot Tee, constructed by American Apparel, follows their classic closer-fitting style.

To mark the occasion, 2K Games is sponsoring this week’s revolutionary Derby. If you’re not too busy fighting off barbarians or researching gunpowder, try your hand at designing a t-shirt with a revolutionary theme. As we said when we announced this sponsorship last week, the spoils for the winners will be enhanced with Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution prize packs – and, of course, a little extra cash.

IMPORTANT! We are not looking for Civilization t-shirts. We just want shirts with this theme, which is inspired by and sponsored by Civilization Revolution. Your design should totally stand alone, on its own merits, not as a piece of Civ promo material. Don’t use Civilization game artwork, screenshots, logos, etc.

Now is the time for all good shirt designers to rally ‘round the Derby! Viva la revolution – and viva la Civilization Revolution!

Come back tonight at midnight to see (and, of course, buy) our first-place winner. Then do the same thing Saturday and Sunday morning. Please? Thanks for Derbying!

It’s kinda like art nouveau meets Chip ‘n’ Dale in an apparel catalog from 1974 while a psychedelic upside-down rainstorm rages outside a paint store. Then there’s this little blue furry thing with a paintbrush and, like, I dunno, just look at the thing, the picture’s right up there, see it?

This shirt was designed by: the mysteriously named J3Concepts, either a Vancouver artist or an entity comprised entirely of sentient fluid. You can buy another shirt by him/it at Design by Humans and a skateboard deck at Popdeck.

Wear this shirt: to the next Exploding Technicolor Plastic Rainbow Happening in your neighborhood.

Don’t wear this shirt: if you’re crossing the border in a VW bus, unless you need your cavities searched.

This shirt tells the world: “This one time, I could see farts. Seriously.”

We call this color: Heavy Cream.

Dig if u will this picture
Of donuts engaged in flight
The sweet donuts soaring above me
Does this my darling
Does this seem quite right?

Dream if u can some donuts
With frosting and sprinkles and wings
What do they think they’re doing up there?
I guess it’s just
It’s just one of those things

How can I grab me a donut?
If donuts can just fly away? (fly away)
Maybe I just should say “so what—
“Maybe I’d prefer an eclair anyway”
Maybe I need one of those nets
They use to catch butterflies (to catch butterflies)
That’s how I’ll snag me my breakfast
This is what it looks like
When donuts fly

This shirt was designed by: Eric Nava, whose name is an anagram for “variance,” which is pretty cool. Oh, and his website is here, which is also cool, we guess, if you like websites. We’re more into anagrams, ourselves.

Wear this shirt: to your ride-along in the police helicopter, ha!

Don’t wear this shirt: to your ride-along in the police helicopter, on second thought. It’d be kind of funny, but you actually don’t want to antagonize those guys.

This shirt tells the world: “Ich bin ein Berliner.”

It’s a strange world. Draw a photo-realistic werewolf battle and you’ve committed low art, suitable for publication in the letter pages of magazines with names like “Fresh Blood” and “Blood Robot” and “Bloody Fortnight” and “Blood Blood Blood Blood Blood”. Draw it in a loose, abstract manner and they’ll call it Guernica.

Frank Zappa once said that “you can’t always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream”. It sometimes takes a detour to properly see the path you are on, even if you chose to never go back to it. But being the outsider is what the monster is all about, right? Except for that fella at the bottom who looks like a bunny rabbit. He gets all the phone numbers he wants.

This shirt was designed by: Jon Burgerman, who is a big name in the world of shirts! Not big in the “Paul Bunyan” way, but big in the “designed the Summer collection for Rip Curl” kind of way. He’s also made a very cute hoodie for Kid Robot and has been one of their featured Dunny artists. He’s like the Damien Hirst of shirts! Except his shirts don’t involve formaldehyde. Strictly casualdehyde with Jon. Did we mention he’s had his first monograph published?

Wear this shirt: to make a deep, passionate statement regarding the socio-political climate at the back table of Starbucks. Even Mao needed a plotting corner.

Don’t wear this shirt: as a skirt or kilt. It would be very daring but the required modifications would completely change the scope of the piece. Like that time Andy Goldsworthy lost at Jenga and ended up selling the mess for 1.4 million.

This shirt tells the world: “I don’t know much about like but I know what I art.”

Holy $#@%&! What a week! An unprecedented five new entries make the cut this week, led by Fat Unicorn at #2, with Finding Technicolor and Army in my Pocket not far behind. Of course, that means that five of our veterans lost this brawl and will be deleted at midnight tonight. In a shocking reversal, longtime titan Cool Breeze is among the Casualties, while Zombie Season's narrow survival ensures that it will keep the Reckoning longevity record, currently at 34 weeks and counting. Our best incoming class ever...the fall of one of our longest-running shirts...remember this nail-biting Reckoning race in style by giving us a bunch of your money for some of our shirts. You've got 12 hours to spend with the Casualties before we bury them.

This shirt was designed by: Will Bryant, an illustrator, DJ, and Mississippi State student who, at the tender age of 22, is blissfully unaware of true heartbreak, of terrifying despair and crushing defeat, of the profane void at the heart of every trivial, agonizing moment. Also, he has an Etsy store.

Wear this shirt: if you’re the Internet, or you want people to think you are.

Don’t wear this shirt: as a Halloween costume. It’s a great idea, but we’ll be selling a lot of shirts between now and October 31, and we want you to keep buying.

This shirt tells the world: “Access to me costs at least $19.95 a month, and may be unavailable when you need it most.”
