or maybe just "I like ___________" and anybody can just write whatever they want directly on the shirt

I have a more-than-healthy number of Star Wars t-shirts, but I try to look for original-looking stuff. Like this is one of my favorite shirts:

I am pretty sure I'd wear a shirt that says I LIKE STAR TREK.

I'd wear this shirt:

and also just to refer to something n/a said upthread, i would assume the % of ppl who wear a given t-shirt because of where the proceeds from its purchase are likely to go is extremely low, regardless of whether it's a 'corporate' shirt or an indie rock one

I'd only wear the DS9 shirt if it had Jadzia on it.

Jeff, Friday, 27 July 2012 14:10 (eleven years ago) link

I have a similar fondness of that style of horror t-shirts.

somebody should make tshirts that just say "I LIKE HP LOVECRAFT" or "I like Star Trek", without any logos or images, just black text on a white shirt.

you used to see those LISTEN TO BLACK SABBATH shirts in the 90s quite a bit, they fitted this description

I think the logo/inside joke shirts show off a deeper or more knowing kind of fandom. Like if you're wearing a Greendale Human Beings shirt then you're broadcasting your fandom to a smaller set of people than if you just wore a Community shirt. It's a bit like when I wear my shirt that says UYD: Seatbelts I know most people are not going to know what it means, but if someone says, "Seatbelts!" then there's an immediate connection.

I dunno, I had my fair share of band t shirts when I was younger, but I guess at a certain point the very idea of "constructing your social identity through cultural references" began to seem fraught and no longer as desirable.

Trewster Dare (jaymc), Friday, 27 July 2012 16:12 (eleven years ago) link

I have two - for lack of a less-horrifying terms - 'mash up' kind of shirts, where I construct my social identity using multiple cultural references at once:

I suppose, for people who cringe at this kind of thing, the two-for-one shirts must be extra brutal.

Walter Galt, Friday, 27 July 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link

Now I want a shirt with both of those on the same shirt.

Walter Galt, Friday, 27 July 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link

no one should wear t-shirts with logos or writing on them, ever

nice idea on a message board, but it just doesn't work in reality.

i actually live in fear of this happening and having to explain 'er no, actually it's from the novel by the deceased american writer david foster wallace', it is one of the reasons i do not wear this shirt much

man this fan-generated product design is BULLSHIT

heather grey tees are always a dud imo no matter what the design may be

I received this shirt as a gift because the gifter knew I was a fan of that book; it was an awkward moment. I wore it a couple times around the house. I get more IA re the kind of person who would MAKE AND SELL a shirt like this than the kind of person who would wear it, though.

In Little Otik, the father wears this plain white tshirt that says "U.S. BURGER" in red and blue. I don't know if that's a real/fake Czech burger chain or not, but I would totally wear it.

yoyodine is originally a Thomas Pynchon invention, I believe

Mr. Que, Friday, 27 July 2012 19:44 (eleven years ago) link

that same person on ebay has swanky starship troopers stuff. like this handsome beret:

EZ Snappin, Friday, 27 July 2012 19:47 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, Yoyodyne is Pynchon.
