30 Awesome T-Shirts
Somewhere There's A T-Shirt For Every Man
Steve McQueen Barracuda Shirt
If McQueen were still alive today, I hope, nay know, that he would read Gear Patrol and approve. Cool in almost every way, he’s a measuring point to aspire to, minus the multiple marriages and death by cancer, obviously.
Cost: Approx $35.00
Liberate US
Easily the most controversial t-shirt on the list. Bound to get a response from both sides of the aisle. Takes balls to wear it, but the interesting discussions you’ll get in should be worth the risk.
Cost: $20
Outlaw Josey Whales
Clint Eastwood is still a badass…the fact that he’s been able to get the senior special at Country Kitchen Buffet for almost 20 years is irrelevant. Refer to Gran Torino if you disagree. I still will watch Outlaw Josey Wales if I catch it on AMC, and as such, this T makes the list.
Cost: $14
Obama Shirt
Regardless of political affiliation, November’s election was landmark for this country. Shepard Fairey’s much ballyhooed image makes for just as good a t-shirt as poster (WAY cheaper too). Time will tell whether it will it will be any more desirable than Bush/Cheney 04′ shirt is now, but for now it’s worth HOPEing for.
Guinness Get Lucky
Shamrocks and the best beer on earth…I’m smitten.
Be Tough
Best not worn in sketchy circumstances, as we don’t want to create misunderstandings, but great for a laugh. People belonging to Plaxico’s posse should pass, though.
Luxury Redefined
This shirt is the result of a quest to redefine what a sustainable t-shirt is. Organic material, fair trade labor, no extra water used to grow the cotton, renewable energy used in production…these guys took into account everything. A guilt-free shirt is the result.
Lego
Legos probably played a huge part in your childhood, and you’re likely still liable to sit down on the floor with a nephew, niece, or your own kid and lose track of a few hours while refusing to read the directions. Expect to get involved in serious drunk Lego reminiscing if you wear it to the bar. On a side note, this guy has a top 5 best job in the world.
Magic Bubble T-Shirt
Your imagination is the limit with this t-shirt, which comes with a washable marker to fill the bubble in with your own funny quips. When you feel some new inspiration coming on just put it through the wash. If you feel real strong about something just write with a Sharpie. We’d suggest “Gear Patrol Rocks!”
T-Bone Steak, Cheese Eggs, and Welch’s Grape
R.I.P Biggy. Ben: This is my favorite out of the bunch.
I Like Bacon
Except for Bay Area hippies, “who doesn’t” is the real question. Certainly Dusty likes his Bacon, I mean that guy dashes his food with salt flavored with bacon, awesome.
Endowed Bull
Subtle, but well played. If you didn’t get to study abroad, this shirt is a good compromise.
T-Post (T-Shirt of the Month Club)
If 25 new shirt ideas wasn’t good enough for you, T-Post will send you a new unreleased design every month of the year. Good Stuff.
26 Euros per shirt (~$34 per shirt, $415 per year.
do people even wear t-shirts with funny sayings anymore?
Ahh behold the "attitude" Tee. I am trying to rid myself of the 50 or so of these eating up 3/4 of my closet space.
The wife would not appreciate any of these besides the first one from Alternative Apparel.
I need that mount morning wood shirt!
i love the shirts. the shiba is so damn cute.
Write your comment here…
some of those are OK.. but most scream, 'i miss my college days!' a little too loudly for my tastes. i like threadless.com for T's but this new design phase consisting of graphics that take up the entire front of the shirt is a little too heavy for me. where have the days of simplicity gone? and and Ts with funny phrases are super lame! one more tshirt related rant.. why the hell do they cost $20+ or even $30+?! nothing about them can justify that. i have personally designed, printed and sold shirts (using american apparel, none the less) and the cost is nowhere near the $20 they charge. that drives me insane!
i'm currently in an American Apparel Henley phase (http://store.americanapparel.net/t457pacw.html)….. apparently i've been watching too much Dexter.
seriously, they are the most comfy shirts ever!
This is one of the only graphic tees I still wear, it gets a chuckle most of the time.

Love the "Be Tough" t shirt: different, subtle, cool. I think I'd be safe in Bondi wearing it
Hmmm, I think I agree that a lot scream 'i miss my college days!', but that's kind of the nature of t-shirts don't you reckon?
i suppose so, haha. i personally prefer a cleaner look but to each his own.
Well I think some of you are right in saying that you couldn't wear most of these shirts out out on the town if you were worried about impressing someone. I still think they have their time and place in a man's wardrobe though. Especially just chillin with the boys. The most deadly shirt is classic and has spurred a whole trip down memory lane for most of the writers. Ahh memories.

i agree, the days of the humorous/witty graphic t is over. wear one if you want to look immature, un-original, and otherwise lame. believe me, girls find these shirts almost as repulsive as anything with "Ed hardy" smeared all over it. i found this list to be a departure from the usual classy, modern man thing gear patrol is known for. half these shirts i see on a regular basis on 18 year olds at the bar/club and the other half look like you need to be in a frat to buy them. beware, threadless is (mostly) played out in my opinion.
Here's a great shirt i found
