t-shirt connoisseur - a rating and review blog for the best tees

Shark Punch (via Sharpshirter)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:00:00 +0000

Ah, the eternal struggle between man and nature continues. That ugly fish gets what's coming to him with on the Shark Punch t-shirt from Sharpshirter. This is what happens to animals who refuse to class things up.

Droidberg (via Redbubble)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:08:00 +0000

A Futurama / Android mash-up t-shirt, why not? Zoidberg meets everyone's favourite mobile OS with the Droidberg tee from Blayde at Redbubble.

Banksy Panda (via Supergoodtees)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Mon, 30 May 2011 12:34:00 +0000

Wear everyone's favorite graffiti artist with the Banksy Panda t-shirt from Supergoodtees. I was introduced to Banksy via my favorite Simpsons opening sequence of recent seasons, but I am also loving this action movie star panda street art.

Grapathy (via Topatoco)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sun, 08 May 2011 22:57:00 +0000

Burnt out on Graphjam? Then the Grapathy t-shirt from Topatoco is for you. If I'm reading this graph correctly, the limit of variable y as variable x approaches 0 is go %#*& yourself.

Why So Curious (via Threadless)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 20:54:00 +0000

I hate posting too many Threadless t-shirts, and I hate posting unobtainable t-shirts, but I can't help but share the Why So Curious? concept design by Andy Hunt. This is the best comic / children's literature mash-up since The Lion, the Witch, and the Watchmen*

*Not a real thing or a good idea.

Big Bots (via Snorg)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 16:30:00 +0000

Autobots meet Mix-a-lot with the Big Bots t-shirt from Snorg. Whether it be Optimus Prime, Mecha Godzilla, or Daisy Mae 128k, with this t-shirt, you can represent your massive mechanical love.

Harry Stardust (via Made With Awesome)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 00:29:00 +0000

Glam Rock meets Hogwarts in the Harry Stardust t-shirt by Made With Awesome. I hereby declare this t-shirt design the best combination of David Bowie and film since Labyrinth.

Spiders from Mars, indeed.

Death Rate (via Magu)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 12:52:00 +0000

Explore the darker side of statistics with the Death Rate t-shirt by Magu Clothing. You'll learn fun facts like being killed by a spider is five times for likely than getting fatally chomped by a shark, all while looking appropriately morbid sporting a big ol' skull on your chest.

Knifey-Spoony (via Powerup Apparel)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:08:00 +0000

Know your cutlery with the Knifey-Spoony t-shirt from Powerup Apparel. This has got to be the best subtle Simpsons reference t-shirt since the Fishbulb.

Dinoboy (via Ignoble)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:13:00 +0000

The 9 to 5, shirt & tie type job might not be extinct yet, but you can help speed it on its way by sporting the subversive Dinoboy t-shirt from Ignoble. You could argue about exactly what type of Dinosaur skull is featured on this design (Or, argue about what is the best dinosaur), but in any case, it's a poignant, slick t-shirt design.

Robot & Triceratops (via Etsy)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 13:53:00 +0000

Automatons sally-forth in the Robot & Triceratops t-shirt by happyfamily. If Toy Story 3 has rekindled your love of classic toys, this is a t-shirt for you. It seems to be a sold out single printing (being Etsy), but we can cross our fingers in hopes that the design doesn't become extinct.

Shark vs. Bear (via Anonymous Venice)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sat, 29 May 2010 12:34:00 +0000

Not to be confused with other notable mammal / shark meetings, the Shark vs. Bear t-shirt from Anonymous Venice is just awesome (jawesome?) It is a well established fact that bears and sharks are natural enemies in the wild, and this tee celebrates this totally, 100% true fact.

Gundam Calling (via Chop Shop)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sun, 23 May 2010 16:39:00 +0000

This one's been making the rounds in all the usual blogs, but I couldn't pass up posting it. Mix equal parts rock and robot and you get the magnificent Gundam Calling t-shirt from Chop Shop. Easily the best Chop Shop t-shirt that features something other than things made from other things.

Donuts Love Policemen (via Threadless)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sun, 09 May 2010 19:24:00 +0000

Ahh, a convergence of two of my favorite t-shirt themes: monsters & snacks. The Donuts Love Policemen t-shirt over at Threadless may seem familiar to fans of The Simpsons, but it welcomes a more suitably ironic theme. I wonder if the officers featured on this design are of the jelly-filled or the glazed variety?

Creation Becomes Creator (via Teextile)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 12:21:00 +0000

I hate posting Teextile shirts because they come with an expiry -- this one's being in just under 3 days from this post (or sooner if LEGO's lawyers get wind). You have got to love the vivid colors of Teextile's Creation Becomes Creator t-shirt, featuring everyone's favorite Danish plastic building block toy.

Ninjas vs. Pirates (via Tenbills)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:23:00 +0000

The stories ninjas and pirates being mortal enemies may be true, but the stories of super ninja marksmanship may be exaggerated. If you don't believe me, ask a ninja. The Ninjas vs. Pirates t-shirt from Ten Bills has a lot going for it, but the ninja with the little beard is easily the best part.

Sixpack Todd James General (via Allike)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:44:00 +0000

Get decked out in parade brass with the Sixpack Todd James General t-shirt at Allike. This functional tee is also good for a cheap Sgt. Pepper-esque costume.

Infinity Eater (via Modern Classic)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:30:00 +0000

The Pac-man is everlasting and everhungry with the Infinity Eater t-shirt from Modern Classic T-Shirts. An elegant design with a simple message: Video Games Forever. See also: Other awesome pac-man (men?) t-shirts. I wonder what those pellets taste like?

Prawn Rights (via Split Reason)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 14:54:00 +0000

If you don't get the Prawn Rights t-shirt from Split Reason, than you probably missed one of the best sci-fi movies of the decade. It's no Halo movie, but Neill Blomkamp has created a masterpiece. The t-shirt's design captures the spirit of the movie with the gritty look and allusions to the film's themes of ethics, rights, and discrimination.

Technophillia (via Design By Humans)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 00:41:00 +0000

1 part Iron Giant, 1 part toaster: Technophillia @ Design By Humans.

Derelicte (via Arcane Projects)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:37:00 +0000

Relive one of the best comedy films of the 2000's with the Derelicte t-shirt from Arcane Projects. The t-shirt is available in many colors, but I'm loving the sapphire blue shown above.

Hansel is so hot right now.

Paleozoic Park (via Busted Tees)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:15:00 +0000

Get prehistoric with the Paleozoic Park t-shirt from Busted Tees. Remember, you couldn't have the Jurassic without the Paleozoic. Sure, the park wouldn't be as interesting, but at least Trilobites won't break loose and run amok, almost killing Jeff Goldblum.

Robots are Metal (via J!NX)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 22:26:00 +0000

Well... they are, aren't they? I present to you the lovechild of t-shirt connoisseur's robot tag and rock on tag: Robots are Metal by J!NX. I would love to see our thrashing friend above to take on this bot in a cybernetic showdown of death with a metal version of Dueling Banjos.

Please Stand By For Total Planetary Destruction (via Springleap)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:54:00 +0000

From the mind of suburbanhijinx @ Springleap comes the Please Stand By For Total Planetary Destruction t-shirt. A fear inspiring design from the pluge pattern background, to the ominous tented fingers of the idiotbox-headed G-man.

Monster Cupcake (via Dripping In Fat)

noreply@blogger.com (ph0enix1211) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:36:00 +0000

Food bites back with the Monster Cupcake tee by Dripping In Fat. Don`t be fooled by the sprinkles, this dessert is a cold hearted, cannibal, cupcake-monster! This tee provides depraved twist on an otherwise saccharine t-shirt design.
