You go through life thinking you’re invulnerable, hard as nails, impervious to mushy feelings. Then along comes a dancing panda and her bunny-rabbit friend.

Sometimes we get bummed about the way that Derby voters favor the cute and cuddly over the sharp and bold. But when they reject a cute design that we actually like, we just have to go rescue it from the scrapheap. How could we cast a poor, innocent shirt like this out into the wilderness all on its own? It’s not like we don’t know our biological impulse to defend the cute is being manipulated – we just don’t care.

Wear this shirt: to your Ultimate Fighting bouts, just to mess with their heads.

Don’t wear this shirt: with your tutu, unless you’re going all the way and adding a tiara, fairy wings, toe shoes, and a magic wand. You really have to own that look or it doesn’t work.

This shirt tells the world: “Human ballerinas just aren’t adorable enough for me.”

We call this color: Tublue.
