Inspired by an ABC local radio discussion I figured it was time to share my fav. t-shirt collection in a new way! Rock shirts, slogans, humour, special occasions etc. Most recent ones are 'no sweat shop' t's but that hasn't always been possible. The t-type shirt originated as an industry workers buttonless undershirt, made popular and named by the US Navy. Maligned as too informal can you believe we pay companies to advertise on them?

Canterbury Clothing Company of New Zealand "Rugby"
There was a time when 'Canterbury of New Zealand' was the only rugby union jersey to wear. Before fitted ones they were strong, good sizings and the right sized collars and sleeves width and length... there were quality 'uglies', teams jerseys, shorts and also t-shirts. The photo on this t-shirt is a famous All Blacks image the featured in the 1990s in b&w and this harlequin style as a celebration of the brands history. I loved this t-shirt because it was the sport I played and celebrated the best team playing it by a long stretch. In recent times the Wallabies and others have had their moments and Rugby World Cups have been won by others. This was just the perfect t-shirt to keep your mind on preparartions for upcoming seasons through summer and was a great conversation starter so you could share anecdotes everyone had heard before many times, just by some poor innocent asking a question about the photo!!
