Back in January I posted about NerdyShirts, specifically about their Let It Bii design, but also about how I liked a bunch of their other designs, and about the excellent customer service I experienced with them. Well, soon after, I was pleasantly surprised to find an email from Will, one of the owners of the site, sitting in my inbox. He had just written to say thanks for the “very nice article” I had written, and as a token of that thanks, he was willing to send a free shirt!
Needless to say (but yes, I’m saying it anyway, so deal with it) I was both floored and flattered by the offer. I replied with a short gush of thanks, and that if he wouldn’t mind, I’d really love to see the Nostalgia tee in person.
Then, a few weeks later, I recieved a wonderful surprise in my mailbox!
My chest, happily wearing my brand-new free tee.
The print is really nice, on American Apparel, and has a soft hand. The use of two shades of grey is somewhat subtle but adds a nice touch. And of course, the nostalgia is second to none. How can I look at this shirt and not remember my childhood days, filled with hours of playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the bed in my room, and listening to my cassette tape of The Proclaimers in the back seat of my family’s blue Chevy Celebrity, and doing homework assignments that required the use of crayons and cardboard paper? And the legos, too. Oh, the legos.
Mind you, I’m not merely throwing this up here to gloat about free things that I’ve gotten, or to wax poetic about the halcyon days of my youth1—my intention is to reestablish the fact that the guys at NerdyShirts are cool dudes. So if you haven’t already, you should definitely check out their wares. In fact, they’ve added some new designs2 since last I blogged about them, so take a look even if you’ve already been to the site before.
1 What a deal: two clichés for the price of one!
2 One of which seems oddly familiar, though I can’t quite put my finger on it…
