Bah Bah Ram Ram

Long time readers will know that I have a thing for patterns, so it should come as no surprise that I find myself enamored to this t-shirt from Sub Urban Riot.

Ram Ram, like all of Sub Urban Riot’s tees, is printed on their 100% cotton custom-cut slim-fit tees. (You can read more about the cut of their shirts in my in-hand review of Ruins.)

Looking at the ram’s head on this t-shirt design, you might feel yourself reminded of summer, or watermelon, or picnics… that’s because the pattern is a green gingham, which is a popular pattern for tablecloths, especially the nylon kind made for outdoors. Usually those come in red, but there are plenty of green ones as well.

Yeehaw! New T-Shirts at PopJunkie

New at Popjunkie!

Check it out, everyone: PopJunkie has a slew of new t-shirts out for you to peruse and purchase! These newest releases seem to all fall under the theme of the Wild West, which I personally think is kind of awesome. There are five new tees for you to take a look at (two of which are women’s-only designs).

Thought the news couldn’t get any better? It does. In addition to the new releases, most of PopJunkie’s tees are on sale, to boot!

Do you have a disposition of pure, cold steel? Are you still not moved to euphoric excitement by this news? Then brace yourself for this final bit of PopJunkie news: you will not be able to resist once you hear it.

They have clocks. Yes, I said it: clocks. If you are still not convinced, then I am sorry for you, as your excitement glands must be clinically dysfunctional.

Timber 2: Curse of the Lumberjack!

Timber!, a wonderful Etsy shop, has added some new designs since last we blogged about them. One of my favorites is this t-shirt, titled Giants:


Giants!
Giants at Timber!

Giant things destroying cities is a tried-and-true t-shirt theme that we’re quite fond of here at Fantastic Bonanza—heck, it’s something we’ve used in our own shop, so you know we must like the idea. It’s especially fun when the giant things that are doing the destroying are not things you would expect. Robots, while quite awesome, are a little overused; so are generic monster-y thingies. But lumberjacks? I would not have expected these hardy northern folk to be bringing rack and ruin to entire cities in such classic sci-fi B-movie fashion!

I should point out that if such a movie were to be made, this t-shirt proves that it would basically have to be titled TIMBER!. At the very least, the word should be featured prominently in the tagline. Another requirement would be to somehow incorporate a pun on “wood”/”would”. You get the idea.

Expensiveness: $20
