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?

"Famous Brand Logo"
I don't think I've posted this one already? This is a WORD brand shirt bought online from a graphic design themed set of t's!! It's the font that NIKE and others might use but reads like the draft text ready for the actual. I guess the 'humour' is that all you need to do is change from these draft words to a brand and apparently you've changed who you are... just do it! and the like, I suppose it could have said I'm fit, cool and can afford to waste money money on brand name shirts.
It's a comment about the fact the humble t-shirt moved for being a military utility clothing item and now we pay companies to advertise themselves on our bodies... at a premium price in most cases. Not only that, unlike this American Apparel t-shirt [no sweat shop at least] we pay the shirt maker a few cents, slap on a sports company logo and charge anywhere from $40-100 for the privilege of wearing it around!! Or is that just what I think this one is saying? Of course it sits filed on the draw [or scrunched up in this case] next to my brand name ones!!
