There have been a bunch of pretty schweet tees brought to my attention lately, so here’s a handful of them plus some extra stuff that cropped up around the shirtosphere in the last week.

Fantastic Bonanza designed the t-shirt for ROFLCon 2008 and had a booth set up. They’ve got some neat photos and a rundown of the conference. Well done!

Andy at Hide Your Arms posted a couple items that caught my eye. The first is a t-shirt giveaway at tenbills.com. Spend $30, tell them your favorite animal in the comments section and get a free t-shirt with your order. Supplies are limited, so check them out.

Hide Your Arms also featured a tee called Gasmasks from We Are Industry that sort of reminds me of Toxic by VanRockn (review, t-shirt). By remind, I mean they both have people in gasmasks. Pretty cool t-shirt.

Shirtlog posted another cool tee with a message. Vince Lombardi would be proud of this one.

Karl at tcritic posted some photos from Mission Indie Mart. That’s some t-shirt related goodness for sure. Check it out.

TeeLovers posted about another Helvetica shirt. You can check out the Graniph Helvetica shirt I wrote about a while back to compare. I’m starting to wonder how long before there’s a store full of nothing but typography tees!

tshirtreview.com (again, not to be confused with this site) posted a little rant about some of the latest tees at Threadless. I do have to admit I didn’t see anything too remarkable on the shirts he mentioned, but the people have spoken I suppose.

I Love Your T-shirt wrote about a few clothing lines that caught my eye. Their post on Ucon Acrobatics has some awesome photos to promote their new threads. I’m not terribly interested in the clothes themselves, but the pictures are definitely worth seeing. Here’s a taste:

I Love Your T-shirt also dropped a post yesterday about a new label called Bloodgold. They’ve got a handful of pretty neat designs, worth looking into.

T-Shirt Island posted about Urban Humanity, a nature-themed clothing label. Before you go all tree-hugger on me, check them out. They’ve actually got some pretty interesting designs that snagged my attention.

The Daily Tee featured this really neat shirt using text to build an image. It’s a pun, you remember “We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)” don’t you? There are the names of a bunch of classic rock and metal bands, and I think it’s executed well.

That’s all for this week big list o’ links, enjoy!

Design By Humans has just reprinted 9 of their most popular tees. This includes three that have been featured here at T-Shirt Review Blog in the past. Run over and grab them quick, they’re sure to sell out in no time. Here they are:

Blackbirds Attackin’ $19 (review - 2nd tee)

Bad Pet $19 (review)

Revelations $19 (review)

Interlocking Lives $19

The Source $24

The Control Room $24

After The Rain Comes A Rainbow $19

Poppy $19

Neptune’s Realm $19

There are a handful of sweet new tees at Threadless, so I wanted to mention a couple that caught my eye. We know from Track and Field in school that you need to lean as you cross the finish line. The lean can make the difference between winning by a head or losing.

You don’t have to worry so much when you’re a giraffe, however. An Outstanding Win pits one rider on a giraffe against a handful of others on horses to cleverly show that it isn’t always the fastest one that wins.

An Outstanding Win is $20 at Threadless.

Every animal has its Achilles’ Heel, and that apparently includes balloon and origami creatures. In battle it is certainly wise to consider your opponent’s weaknesses, and this tee demonstrates that. So is this baby blue tee a lesson in warfare techniques or just a funny shirt with a couple crafty dogs?

You can pick up Dog Fight from Threadless for $17.

This is a reprint that’s back in stock this week. While metaphor tees are always fun, what really attracted me to this shirt was the level of detail. Your glass is always half full or half empty, but before you decide how you feel today, you might want to see what’s awaiting you on each side on the coin. The details are awesome, and it was done with very few colors. Really sweet.

Pessimistic or Optimistic? is $15 at Threadless.

This was the shirt of the day at Design By Humans a few days ago, and it caught my eye. I know I’ve written about a few brown and tannish DBH tees before(Controlled Chaos and Revelations come to mind) but the print on this one sort of knocks my socks off. When you look closely there’s a number of different print patterns and colors used to suggest layers, and I really think it gives the tee a lot of depth.

It’s a bit like “spot the hidden picture” because at first I struggled to really be able to describe what was printed on the tee. I knew with a name like Leo there had to be a lion, but it escaped me for a few moments. The attention to detail in this design is really impressive.

There are a number of cool new tees at DBH in addition to this one, but this really stood out for me. Stop by and check them out.

Leo Regalis is $19 from Design By Humans.

Snorg Tees has brough their grab bag back. You specificy a size, they send you a random tee in that size. No returns, no whining. For $5.95 it’s hard to go wrong. A lot of the tees have the problems detailed above. Some are leftovers, printed on the wrong color, maybe sporting a hole or a small spot. If you’re a fan of Snorg’s style of humor, you might as well pick up a few of these. You’d eventually put a hole in a tee or a spot on it anyways.

Grab Bag T-Shirts are $5.95 at Snorg Tees.

BustedTees is having a 24 hour sale today, ending at midnight. All tees are on sale for $12. Head on over there and pick out a few you like, they’re regularly priced at $18. That’s roughly 33% off, for those of you counting on your fingers! Go, go go!

This is something I’d like to start doing weekly here, just to keep you posted on some of the other things going on in the t-shirt world. I don’t know if it’ll be Tuesday still when this post goes live, but it’s still Tuesday as I write this, so here we go.

Aris at addic[tee]d posted up a neat tee called The Ghost Ship

The Fat Seagull drew my attention to a t-shirt with a photo of a space monkey. Photos on t-shirts don’t usually look very good, but this one pulls it off. It’s new from N. Hoolywood.

Hide Your Arms dropped a post about Tasty Tees. They’ve got a really unique business model for a t-shirt company. Everything is limited edition and only available for sale for a certain period of time. Be sure to catch their current design by the 25th.

With all the awesome weather we’ve been having around here lately, I’m definitely in the mood for a tee with a message like the one Sjors posted on Shirtlog a few days ago.

Alex at The T-shirt Blog (not to be confused with this site) posted a string of PETA related shirts, taking both sides of what is always a dividing topic. I think animals taste great, so here are a few tees that made me smile. Nothing new design-wise though, oldies but goodies.

Yesterday, Karl at tcritic highlighted a new service from CNN where you can have select headlines printed on a tee. The shirts are printed at Spreadshirt, but it’s definitely a neat idea. Like he said, I’m TOTALLY waiting for The Onion to do something like this.

Colin at Troundup tipped me off to a 24 hour sale at BustedTees and a big DBH T-shirt giveaway from Gearcrave. More to come on the BustedTees sale tomorrow.

That’s all for now, otherwise it won’t be Tuesday anymore!

Thanks for your patience while I was working on things tonight. I wanted to give everyone a brief rundown of the new things here tonight. I haven’t made all the changes I’ve wanted to, and a few things are partially implemented, but I’ll continue to roll things out in stages. I’ve only got so many hours in a day!

Wordpress 2.5 Upgrade
I know I’m a little late to the party on this one, but I upgraded Wordpress to version 2.5. That doesn’t mean a whole lot from your perspective, but it gives me some neat tools under the hood to keep things truckin’ along here.

Find T-Shirts
This is a new section in the sidebar. currently, it will allow you to sort the t-shirt reviews by price. It’s really self-explanatory, and I think it’ll help you find not only shirts that you like, but shirts that are in your price range.

Related Posts
At the end of each post you’ll find a group of related posts. The related posts plugin actually reads and compares articles and doesn’t just rely on tags, keywords and the post title. The result? The posts listed are your best bet for a next move when you’ve finished a review, unless you want to buy the shirt of course!

Post Ratings
You can also rate each post 1-5 stars now. You can either rate my review or how you like the t-shirt, either one works. As always, if you really want to leave some feedback, that comment link is your best friend.

Ad Changes
The banner ads at the top and bottom of the page have been removed. They were sold through Project Wonderful (which is a great service) but you may have noticed they were not as targeted as they should be and were often unrelated to t-shirts. I’ve since replaced them with context-sensitive ads in the sidebar, so there’s more t-shirt goodness and less webcomic crap!

There’s a small handful of other tweaks as well, but that about covers it for tonight. Hopefully these changes will help you better enjoy the time you spend at T-Shirt Review Blog. Thanks again for reading!
