YouTube Shirts From Shirts Taste Good

Shirts Taste Good is a new t-shirt site I’ve found that makes their designs entirely based on viral videos. It’s kind of a shame that I didn’t think of this myself. The built in audience for all of those videos are an automatic source of buyers for their products, as long as you can reach them. The good thing is that Shirts Taste Good makes shirts that are high quality, hand made, and hilarious.

North American Shipping From laFraise

You read that right, laFraise is now providing shipping to the United States and Canada! What does this mean for you? Besides the obvious, you’ll probably be seeing some North American designers entering their contests. In turn this could mean that the quality of their shirts might rise as some fresh blood is injected into the system.

The Island Of Ten Rabbits

The Island Of Ten Rabbits” is a new shirt design that’s available for voting at Threadless. It’s by Marcin Przybys, who happens to be a previous winner there. This design is a little different than many of his submissions but I think it’s especially great.

Font Shirts From DADADA

Helvetica, Myriad, Frutiger, and Futura. That might not mean anything to most people but to artists and designers they can mean a lot. If you haven’t figured it out already they are the names of some common fonts. It’s not the most original idea to put this kind of thing on a shirt, but the implementation is what matters. These shirts from DADADA studio have a crisp clean look that makes them really stand out.

Be Recognized At tFuse

tFuse is a t-shirt contest website that has been recently re-designed. It’s built around a lot of community features and community ratings factor heavily into the decision of whether a design is chosen. Once uploaded and approved your design will be available for voting for 10 days. At any time during this period the design can become a winner. If the tFuse team chooses your design you will win 4$ per design (up to $3000) and a free shirt featuring it!

Social Media Venn Diagram Shirt

Poor Twitter. According to Despair Inc it is the culmination of all the dirty pleasures the internet fosters. MySpace and Facebook get off a littler lighter, along with TweetStalk which is a service I hadn’t known about until I saw this shirt. The Social Media Venn Diagram shirt is a really clever idea.

Threadless Summer Heatwave Sale

Threadless is celebrating the “return of t-shirt weather” by having a week long summer sale. It’s aptly called the Threadless Summer Heatwave sale, and for this week only many of their shirts are available for only 5$ and 10$. Based on typical Threadless prices these deals are phenomenal. They also are planning on running contests throughout the week, so keep checking in with them if you like winning things!
