80s Collage - Nostalgia for Funny Shirts

Have access to a digital garment printer? Ruin Halloween by dressing up as an abstract concept!

 

About four years ago, I wanted to experiment with our new Direct-to-Garment digital printer. If I could print anything I wanted onto one piece of apparel, what would it be? This question allows you to peer deep into your own soul. I took that opportunity. I peeked. Staring back at me, I saw a seven year old version of myself. The question of what to print, I realized, was better suited to seven year old me. His answer would probably be much cooler. And it was.

 

He wanted a collage of all his favorite shit. He wanted me to dress up as nostalgia.

 

I soon recognized the parallels between this task and the plot of the Tom Hanks film Big. Ideas began to form. I would use Photoshop to make a kickass collage, featuring all of my favorite stuff from when I was seven. I would print it on the back of bright white button-up shirt. I would construct a white bow tie out of paper. Together, they would represent the amazing white tuxedo Josh Baskin wore to the MacMillan Toy Company annual party. I found some laser tag equipment at the local Goodwill, perfect to represent the gear Josh wears when running around FAO Schwartz (just before impressing his boss with some slick Chopsticks on the giant floor piano). I also picked up some sweatpants and tennis shoes to represent the early scene in which he first discovers that he is ‘big’.  More importantly, my seven year old self would have refused to wear any pants but sweatpants. Some sweet blue-blocker sunglasses, straight out of the 80s, topped it all off.

 

At this point I realized no one was going to understand my costume. But I was already too deep. The only solution was to make them understand it. So, yeah, I created a paint-by-numbers layout (pictured below) that labeled each element of my collage. I also typed up a multi-paragraph explanation of the costume. I printed out a bunch of copies, fully prepared to distribute them to fellow party-goers. Just before handing out the first flyer, I realized how incredibly lame this had become. Alas, I was committed. I did it anyway.

 

How did my costume turn out? It looked incredible. It was beautiful. And also everyone hated it. Basically ruined Halloween for a few people, I think. But I still have the shirt and it is still awesome. Here were the results:

Oktoberfest Shirts and Steins Can Make You An Excellent Beer Drinker Just Like the Germans

The Germans are great beer drinkers and there are two reasons for that. One, their legal drinking age is 16 and two, they host the greatest beer festival in the world, Oktoberfest! If you host a 16-day festival based strictly around drinking beer, then you must be pretty darn good at it! While Oktoberfest has its roots in Germany, many countries, including the USA, have embraced this event and put their own spin on it.  So if you’re attending Oktoberfest this year, you better look the part of a beer drinker! We can’t think of a more perfect way to do that than with Oktoberfest shirts and steins from FunnyShirts.org!

Almost seven million liters of beer is consumed in Germany during the two week Oktoberfest celebration, and even though you probably won’t be drinking beer for 16 days straight, you’ll still need to have a sturdy vessel like a stein to rely on! Also, it’s important to find the perfect Oktoberfest shirt to show off while you’re dancing to polka and rolling out the barrel!

Having the right gear is essential to becoming a great beer drinker like the Germans! These shirts and steins will help you perform your very best at this year’s Oktoberfest and the many more to come in the future!

So…. People Really Love Custom Swag Shirts

Swag

How has your swag been lately? If it’s in need of a repair, check out the collection of swag shirts at FunnyShirts.org! Even if you think you know what swag really is, you’ll be schooled when you browse the customizable swag shirts we have waiting for you to personalize.

Since swag is all about having your own style and attitude, shirts from a department store really won’t work because those are essentially someone else’s idea of what style is. And, as you already know, you can’t be stepping on someone else’s swag, that’s a big no-no! This is where we come in and fill the void by offering custom swag shirts! Don’t risk being accused of taking someone else’s swag and not being original with your apparel and instead create a swag shirt that is 100% you.

If you are on the other side of the fence and can’t stand the word swag and what it means, then create a custom anti-swag shirt. One of the most popular designs we’ve seen for this is having the acronym swag stand for the hilarious saying, ‘Something We All Get Tired of Hearing!’

However, we have a feeling swag won’t be going away anytime soon and it will just get harder not to jump on the bandwagon. Some of the funniest people alive are using the word in their vocabulary and it will just be a matter of time before swag is ‘Something We All Grow to Love!’

Maybe Next Year Custom Sport Shirts

There is a lot involved with being a diehard sports fan. We wear the team gear, go to the games and when we can’t make it to the games, we make sure a TV or radio is nearby to catch all the action. Although forever committed to our favorite professional teams, it doesn’t always guarantee them a spot as a contender every season. If your favorite teams are going nowhere fast and your buddies won’t let you forget it, give them a head’s up that next year things will be different! Put those losing seasons behind you and customize a maybe next year sports shirt!

All it takes is some good draft picks or some free agent signings and your favorite teams could be making the playoffs! Until that happens, you can carry on representing your teams with our maybe next year shirts that display the colors of your favorite football, baseball and basketball teams.

With the football season here, what team are you hoping turns things around this year and becomes a playoff team?
