The Keyhole Nebula

WOW! Now this isn't my usual kind of Tee, it's too bold and reminds me of those cheesy fantasy posters Athena sold in the '80s, but look at the detail! It's like the opening credits of the Twilight Zone. Probably more suited to feminine host but still, WOW!

Zombies Only Want You For Your Brain

Preview | Price: $15 | Sizes: XS-3X | Threadless

I know I posted a zombie Tee last week but how can I pass this up?

The clever thing about Threadless's TypeTees t-shirts is that by limiting the design and just focusing on the humorous slogans they create a very clean and bold Tee.

ZOWYFYBs is a good example of that; a simple Geek joke in a perfect blood-on-the-wall font. Something that wouldn't have looked out of place on a 70's movie trailer.

In Case of Zombies

Review | Price: $18 | Sizes: S-2XL | Threadless

BRAINS!

Actually, I love this Tee more than brains. The use of the shirts own colouring as one of the main image colours, as well as its even layout, makes this a subtle Tee. Subtlety is very important for a versatile Tee; one that can be worn both with your geek mates and out-and-about town without fear of scaring off the norms.

Of course the killer for this Tee is the hidden detail of the In Case Of legend. Once people spot the numbering and the list, your chest becomes a talking point. Just make sure that when they lean in to examine they don't have that glazed stare of the dead!

Super-Tramp!

Down on their luck heroes DO make cool tees. Who would have thought. IMHO Batman seems to have gotten the roughest deal here, at least everyone else has both their shoes. Plus, I am pretty sure if Dianna did go on the Game, she would be more of a high-end, got her own webpage type of hooker.

Nice colours. Nice layout; the lamp-post brakes this out of the usual t-shirt image box. Of course, like all self-enlightened geeks, I stay clear of the dreaded black t-shirt cliche but this asphalt grey colour is a pleasant compromise.

UTINNI!

Star Wars Jawas and an environmentally friendly message; that's two-Geek points in just one Tee! This simple and clearly laid-out image works very well, but despite the eco-benefits of the organic shirt, they always look thin and miss-shapen to me. Fortunately you can change to a different style. Unfortunately, this can add another $10+ to the cost.

Any self-respecting wrestling fan should recognise this term. Why? Beacuse Stone Cold said so!

A simple and bold design but I can't decide if the image is too large, too bright or both. Plus, should the can be open? The cost is a little high too, I would rarely pay over £15 for a Tee, but I suppose it is because these are limited editions.
