10 deeply unsettling men's t-shirts from Sears

A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.''



Ha! Oh, very clever. Very clever indeed. TOUCHÌÄÛ¡, Sears.



Anyway, I thought to myself, ''Robyn, I bet you there are way more weird shirts. After all, you saw a ton of weird stuff at the Sears when you were trapped inside one in Warwick for hours last year! Like a soap dispenser shaped like a grizzly bear and whatnot!'' And lo and behold, I did.

Free Speech Squabble Pits T-shirt Designers Against Companies, Government

A T-shirt designed by Dan McCall pokes fun at the NSA as "the only part of the government that actually listens" referring to the NSA's alleged monitoring of millions of people.



A series of legal cases is pitting some T-shirt designers against large government agencies and a major tobacco company in squabbles over free speech and intellectual property rights.



At issue are messages on these shirts that are critical of the policies or products of companies or other powerful groups.



In the most recent case, a tobacco company says a highly critical parody of its brand name violates laws protecting its trademark.



The image printed on the shirt closely mimics the color and type style of a package of Marlboro cigarettes -- but replaces the well-known brand name with the word ''Death.''

Original MTV T-shirt now is part of history: University of Akron grad donates shirt to Smithsonian

t turns out the Smithsonian wants a Northeast Ohio woman's MTV.



Connie Cordaro found herself working at the all-music cable network when it launched in August 1981.



She worked selling advertising on the fledgling cable channel in New York City.



Fast forward more than three decades later and Cordaro, now 65, of Broadview Heights, decided to sell some of her original MTV items on eBay.



She sold an MTV duffel bag, but a blue original MTV T-shirt went unsold for about a year. Then she heard from someone interested in the shirt.



Kathleen Franz, a research associate at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, saw the T-shirt on eBay and contacted Cordaro to see if she would donate the shirt to the museum.



Cordaro, who received both her undergraduate and master's degree in communication at the University of Akron, agreed to make the donation.

Brad Pitt Might Be Wearing a T-Shirt Designed by His Kids

Brad Pitt exited LAX this weekend alongside Angelina Jolie and two of his kids. He wore a straw cap and a peculiar shirt. Well, it's a plain white T-shirt, but it has a whimsical line drawing on it of a couple holding hands. The lady is in a slinky dress with long hair, and the dude is wearing a jaunty, Brad Pitt-looking cap.



Anyway, it was not signed by the artist or anything, but it has a distinct my-kid-made-this-don't-question-it vibe. Or perhaps a trendy new designer has let his child take over the family business early. Or, even more likely, one of the Jolie-Pitt children drew this on Pitt's person while he was zonked out on the plane, and he won't even know about this nice portraiture until he gets home and looks in the mirror. Great kid prank. Children, take note.Ê

Man trademarks Pi, tries to cut out geeky T-shirt designers

This may be the biggest legal controversy to engulf the mathematical constant pi since that time in 1897 when the Indiana legislature tried to declare it equal to 3.2: A Brooklyn artist is claiming a broad trademark in T-shirts, jackets, caps, and other apparel featuring the Greek letter, resulting in the mass, temporary removal of thousands of products from the custom t-shirt printing site Zazzle.



At issue is US trademark registration 4,473,631, issued to one Paul Ingrisano, aka "Pi Productions Corp" of New York. In January, the US Patent and Trademark Office gave Ingrisano a trademark on the symbol ̏âÂ. -- pi followed by a period -- a design Ingrisano uses on T-shirts sold at some brick-and-mortar stores.

Ten Terrible Band T-Shirts

Do you have a friend who's always lurking around the merchandise area at concerts? Whether it's at a show or just on their website, it can be fun to see what bands offer in terms of shirts, music and accessories. Merch can also be another creative outlet for artists to express their personalities. When doing that however, not every band gets it right. Here's a list of ten shirts that are cheesy, boring or just plain weird. From Joy Division to Mumford & Sons, here's hoping people saved their money.



Joy Division- The first shirt comes from the British band Joy Division. Although it's nice to remember the band and the late lead singer Ian Curtis, there's probably a better way to do that than by sporting this shirtsomewhere. It's hard to picture someone wearing this out of their house since it's a rather large black and white portrait of the singer looking down. The picture was apparently first used as a large poster on walls at the subway, which would look a lot better than on all over a person's chest.

What is a colored heather t-shirt?

In clothing, heather refers to interwoven/ interknitted yarns of mixed colors producing flecks of an alternate color. It is typically used to mix multiple shades of white or black with another color to produce a muted shade, but any two colors can be mixed, including bright colors. Heather colors are usually obtained by mixing a polyester yarn which is white or black in color with a colored yarn which is 100% cotton. Therefore it is a blend that is approximately 50% polyester & 50 % cotton hence the term 50/50 t-shirt.
