It’s funny, I was just writing about how most funny t-shirts need to improve in the artwork department. Well, here’s another example of why one doesn’t need to compromise another. It’s the latest winning t-shirt at S.A crowdsourcing site Springleap.

Running With Scissorhands Tee

Designed by Kookylove (don’t worry that’s not their real name) and available for £17 in sizes S-L for girls and S-XL for the guys.

Getting Recreative With The-Rec

admin    T-Shirt News     The-Rec, baseball tees, sport tees, sports t-shirts

Sports t-shirts for the most part “could do better” but there’s an exception and it comes in the form of The-Rec. They’re a brand new Californian-based sports/recreation t-shirt brand with their sights firmly fixed on upping the fashion stakes and appealing to a wider and younger market of sports fans that like to play as well as watch.

They’ve got a smart design ethic too, really delving into their love of sport to come up with some unique and stylish designs. The following three t-shirts will be released at the online store launch on the 31st of March 2011 at www.the-rec.com – I’ve no details on pricing and sizes so far but I’ll let you know when I find out!!

The Murph Tee

Baseball fans are in for a treat with this rather snazzy tribute to the late great sportswriter Jack Murphy and the stadium they dedicated to him.

Opening Day Tee

Another baseball t-shirt, this time highlighting the start of the 2011 season, for all those who just can’t wait!

Logo Tee

Yep it’s a logo t-shirt, still it’s a nice one for its ilk, and it’s probably the thing to do when you’re first launching your brand.

So remember sports fans head on over here on the 31st of March if you want to snap one of their tees, in the meantime try their blog or Facebook page for plenty of updates. Let’s just hope the next season covers a few more sports than baseball!

Running Moms Tees

admin    T-Shirt Reviews     Fluid Flair, running tees, sport tees, sports t-shirts

Fluid Flair are a Chattanooga-based t-shirt brand run by two running moms (well seeing as I’m British they’re running ‘mums’ but let’s not let one letter cause a transatlantic scuffle). Inspired by their own experience, including running half and full marathons, Julie and Amy want to share the highs and lows of their sporting endeavours with marathon mad mothers around the world. These two are a perfect example of ‘multi-tasking’, a skill that’s usually attributed to women (although right now the guy writing this post is making tea for the builder, working on his latest artwork, arguing intermittently with some drain inspectors in the street by the nearby church, talking on the phone to the local council and emailing his GF. Still, that’s just me I suppose :p ).

Building on a love for fitness and fashion, what began as a hobby is quickly building into a full-time business for these two feisty mums. They really understand their market and it shows, with colourful and cute designs, quality printed on super soft tees suitable for running, a night on the town, or even lazing around the house (if you ever get the time). There’s a real community feel to Fluid Flair’s site, they actively encourage their customers to set up small fun run groups with other mothers, to hook up at their Facebook page and even receive free tees for all their hard work.

If you want to show the world you are the mother of all runners then take a look at these for starters…

Fly Girl Tee

Very cute, the design almost looks like a piece of patchwork and a nice spin on a familiar phrase, it’s reduced from $24 to just $15 right now and is available in sizes S-L here.

She Goes A Mother Mile Tee

A play on words and a cool subdued retro style, the ‘She Goes A Mother Mile’ tee is available at $20 (reduced from $34) in S-L sizes here.

Runnin’ Groovy Tee

Now this as niche as it gets, running mums with a penchant for the Psychedlic Era should love this one, there’s another hippyish tee called Peace Love and Run in case you want to double your groovy quota. A cute design, I’d like to see it printed on a ‘less busy’ t-shirt and perhaps scale up the image to fill more of the tee. Still I am sure it sells well as it is. You can buy the Runnin’ Groovy tee for $25 (reduced from $36) in sizes S-L here.

Two New Tees From Hideout

Hideout T-Shirts have just released two new designs, you may recognise the name from our previous review at http://buy-tees.net/2009/03/freestyling-with-hideout-tees. They’re a British label famed amongst the BMX community for both their unique style and extensive sponsorship of the sport. They even make their own BMX videos!

Anyway the two new designs by Tash Walkerdine and Jon Moon, two of the three designers in the partnership. Both tees are available for £12 each and are already proving to be strong sellers in the line. Due to their rather snazzy Flash site I can’t link directly to their products, but you should have fun perusing through their deck of ‘t-shirt cards’ nonetheless ;) read more
