Van Halen 5150 Stripe

Van Halen stripe

Alright, I’ll admit up front that I’ve had this shirt for about a year now. It’s a comfortable fit, and the fabric is soft. It doesn’t feel heavy like you’d expect a shirt with this much print to feel. It’s as bright as the day I bought it even though it’s been through a ton of wash cycles. You WILL stand out wearing this shirt. Everywhere except a Van Halen concert, of course. None of that’s why you’d buy this shirt though.

The artwork is based on Eddie Van Halen’s Frankenstein guitar, painted in black, red, and white. 5150, which is over the left breast, is supposedly the LAPD radio code for “criminally insane.” Van Halen has used this ambiguous number for years, with a song, album and his studio bearing the digits.

Even if you’re not a Van Halen fan, hear me out!

The real beauty of this shirt though, is that you don’t have to be a Van Halen fan. Unless someone knows what they’re looking at, they won’t get it. It doesn’t say Van Halen anywhere. It’s just a very unique shirt to anyone that isn’t familiar with VH.

The Van Halen stripe shirt is available from tshirts.com for $20.

Steroids and Baseball T-Shirt

Steroids

Here’s a shirt for the cynic in you. You didn’t have to read the Mitchell Report to know that steroids and baseball have been linked at the hip for years now. It seems like you can’t even compete nowadays without being juiced. Nevermind that though, I’ve got a shirt for you. A clear parody of the Yankees logo, this tee got a chuckle out of me and will show anyone what you think of baseball these days.

As with most of the shirts at Roadkill, it’s available in dozens of colors and styles. While variety is cool, it’d be nice to have an actual image of the shirt, rather than the faux graphics you see above layered over a photo of a blank shirt. The regular white tee flavor is available in sizes up to 5XL, so even those of you with curiously oversized biceps can wear it ;-) .

The steroids shirt is available from Roadkill Tshirts for $14.99.

What’s New at T-Shirt Review Blog?

You’re probably wondering where the hell I’ve been, eh? I’ve been doing a little work under the hood lately and wanted to give you all a heads-up on the new stuff here. Feel free to leave me your comments, I appreciate the input of course.

Changes in the header
Up at the top you might notice the tagline in the title graphic has changed from “So many shirts, so little time…” to “Find your next favorite shirt!” I made this change because I feel it’s a little bit more in line with what I’m trying to accomplish here. I want to help you find something that you’d love to wear, something you’ve just got to have.

The about and advertise links in the upper right are new as well. The old about link was tucked in the lower left corner of the header…many of you probably never knew it was there!

You can now advertise here
I had received some inquiries about advertising and realized I didn’t have a page to describe the options available. Click Advertise in the header to see your choices. An ad here is pretty cheap and reaches an incredibly targeted audience.

You can subscribe to tshirtreviewblog.com via email
At the top of the first sidebar you’ll notice an image you can click to subscribe to my RSS feed. I realize though that some of you don’t use (or prefer not to use) RSS newsreaders, and some of you might not know what RSS is. The link “Subscribe via email” gives you the opportunity to have each post delivered to your inbox like a newsletter.

I have some other improvements in mind, hopefully in February you’ll see those. That’s all for now, back to the shirts! I’ve got some awesome tees in the bank for you, so stay tuned!

Bears Are Dangerous

Bears Are Dangerous

 Here’s another from the funny file. The retro style really stands out to me, and makes it feel like the image came from an old campers guidebook or something. If you pride yourself on being captain obvious, you’re sure to feel at home wearing this. I liked the description as well: “Do not feed the bears. Unless you are a mother bear. In which case, please feed and nurture them.”

Bears Are Dangerous

Consider yourself proud to be doing your fellow humans a favor, delivering this public service announcement.

Bears Are Dangerous is $20 and is available from Busted Tees.
