t-shirts with logos of fictional companies from tv shows or movies on them

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.

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.

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

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

this

i saw someone the other day wearing an otherwise plain white t shirt with this image of tifa lockhart on it:

hc nerd shirts are cool:

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

Dude is in the middle of doing the Rerun dance.

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.

And, on a related note, this:

Are those from the big bang theory or something?

1.) buckaroo bonzai
2.) legos from the 1980s

these are cool:

i have an outland security badge that i got when i went to the grand opening of forbidden planet in nyc. i put my picture in it!

yoyodine is originally a Thomas Pynchon invention, I believe

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

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Starship-Troopers-Mobile-Infantry-Beret-/360456410647?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ece05617

kingfish - I'd wear both those.

Yeah, Yoyodyne is Pynchon.

If we're expanding to patches, this:

patches are secret kinda. geek morse code. thus cooler.

guess i don't see why this is a whole thread and not just a single post on the IA thread

in hindsight this is probably where i should have gone with this

yoyodyne is orignially pynchon, but the yoyodyne image above is from buckaroo banzai
