Hubby and I have just returned from the International Beatle Week in Liverpool. We go every year, as we are avid fans of the Fab Four. I was wondering whether any other shipmates would admit to belonging to any fan clubs, appreciation socities etc. So, who (if anyone) is on your T-shirt, badges/buttons, shoe laces etc? [Smile]

Most of my t-shirts promote my own place, but I do have 2 others that I really like. One has the All Blacks logo and reads "I support two teams, the All Blacks and anyone playing Austrailia". The other has a quote from Phil Robertson, AKA The Duck Commander.

I'm not in any fan clubs or anything like that, but as far as t-shirts go, I'm known to wear a lot of Detroit or Michigan related t-shirts, including:

-Made In Detroit (which is a clothing brand)
-Imported from Detroit
-(a few plain ol') Detroit
-a GM t-shirt with the word Detroit emblazoned across it
-Sanders "a Detroit original" (Sanders is a candy -company best known for their amazing hot fudges)
-a Made in Detroit t-shirt that says "Made in Hockeytown"
-a couple Detroit Red Wings t-shirts
-a couple Detroit Institute of Arts t-shirts
-a hoodie by Motor City Denim (another clothing company that makes its clothes in Detroit)
-a couple Wayne State University t-shirts (I worked there; it's in Detroit)
-a few University of Michigan t-shirts (my alma mater)
-a couple other Michigan (state of) t-shirts

I think that's it, but I might be forgetting something.

I also have a symbol of Detroit tattooed on my wrist, where you find my pulse, so I guess if there's a fan club for the city of Detroit, I'm at least an honorary member!

I'm trying to buy more plain, no-writing t-shirts and other kinds of shirts, 'cause I'm starting to feel like a cliché of myself.

Oh, but I also have tote bags ("Detroit Lives," Eastern Market, and a glow-in-the-dark on black image of the Great Lakes) and other stuff around the house (tiles, magnets, etc.)

To be balanced, I have a few Oakland bags & so far one shirt, I mean to get more. 'Cause that's where I'm living right now.

Our T-shirts tend to promote Michigan travel -- for instance, right now I'm wearing a Les Cheneaux Islands Wooden Boat Show T-shirt, while DP is wearing a T-shirt advertising Art's Tavern, an iconic bar in Glen Arbor. We also have several Michigan State University (me) and University of Michigan (her) T-shirts.

I have two T-shirts from the Exchange Hotel in Gordonsville, VA. The hotel was used as a hospital during the Civil War, and it's now a museum.

The reason I like these shirts is that my father was born there. His parents were keeping the hotel at the time.

I make a point of wearing t shirts with nothing on them. I buy one occasionally if I HAVE to, like kids selling them at a fundraiser on Pres. Obama's birthday, an ACLU meeting or something.

Did have one done up of a t-shirt featured in the late, great 'Epeli Hau'ofa's book, Tales of the Tikongs.

To quote Brian Eno, "The passage of my life is measured out in shirts...." Today's t-shirt featured Red Stripe -- the beer from Jamaica -- and lots of palm trees and beaches. Alas it does nothing for my (in)ability to dance.

A recent favorite t-shirt has a sketch of a border collie, curled up asleep, with the caption "That'll do." Bought in honor of our now six month old puppy. So sweet when she conks out, especially with The Precious Frisbee under her head.

Most of my t-shirts are from various race tracks. They can be so cheap, especially if you're willing to buy last season's designs like I am.

I have several band t-shirts in regular rotation: Rancid, the Clash, the Libertines, BRMC, Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Felice Brothers, and David Bowie ("Heroes" and "Heathen"). Beatles week in Liverpool? sounds great! Is there a special shirt each year? must look it up...

the only promotional tees I own are from my work - I have three. each one from when I got a lot of beer spilled on me and had to go ransack the tee supply so I could change into something dry.

I actually own the t-shirts for two bands - one I was in and the other I helped manage for awhile, but I don't wear the shirts.

as far as "fandom" stuff - I have a Doctor Who poster in my bedroom. yeah, like a squeally teenage girl. shattap. don't judge me.

97% of the t shirts I own are related to the sub-genre of music from which I get my name. I have exactly 2 t shirts having to do with the local baseball team, and that's out of close to 70 t shirts. A few of them have live photos on the back of the vocalists.

I have a lot of metal band t-shirts, currently wearing an Iron Maiden "Number of the Beast" due to the boss being on holiday (he insists on shirt & tie even for us basement dwellers).

My non metallic t-shirts tend to be martial arts related ones from the various dojos I have trained in or just general Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan/Jet Li/Sammo Hung ones my friend gets for me in Hong Kong.

Phew, I was beginning to feel a little odd until Bob posted.

Currently wearing a Dilbert t-shirt, but historically all of my t-shirts were bought at gigs. Unfortunately most of those are of sufficient vintage that the wardrobe has caused them to shrink dreadfully, so the current crop are a mix of bands or vaguely daft quips ("I was never cool", "Rock is dead, long live paper & scissors", just daftness).

Periodically I dig out my "No I will not fix your computer" just for church.

Was that the Clube Big Beatles? They're one of our favourite tribute bands. (If they had a bald guy who uses big cardboard 'hands' to get the audience clapping, it was them. They also give out boards with 'Na' written on them, for the audience to wave during Hey Jude. We kept ours. [Hot and Hormonal] If we go to another Paul McCartney concert, we're going to take them with us.)

@Nickel - Yes, there's a different T-shirt for Beatleweek each year. They have a picture by the American artist Shannon on the front and a list of all the tribute bands who took part on the back. You can see Shannon's artwork here: http://www.theshannongallery.com/

@Comet - Which Doctor is on your poster? (Hope it's the lovely Matt Smith!)

Aw, they sound amazing! No, we saw the BlueBeatles, who were very good but did not have cardboard hands.

I used to have some great tshirts designed by John Allison of the webcomic Scary Go Round, including this "Ukes not Nukes" one. But I grew too fat for it. [Frown]

Summers, three days per week at the two informal offices, I wear pocket tees so the pen has a place.

For special occasions, the TIGHAR tee.

But for special occasions with shipmates both Motherboard and I wear shirts from various Colorado and New Mexico shipmeets.

My favourite T-shirt (second-hand) has Carpe Diem*. I also have a Finland one which I feel is a bit of a cheat. I've visited Helsinki three times, but each time for only three or four days, never in autumn or winter and not been more than about 50 kms outside the city, so I don't really feel entitled. But it is a great capital city.

*usually translated as Seize the Day, as I expect most people know.

Most of my Tshirts with slogans on feature beer, from a Norwich Beer Festival over 20 years ago to a couple of Hobgoblin "British Beer Needs You". I also have one for the Battle of Hastings 2006, and a Starfleet Academy one.
My most recent purchase has the slogan "It is a fact universally acknowledged that a mad man in possession of a blue box must be in need of a companion."

Ah, yes - music t-shirts. I have t-shirts for:

Joy Division
The Velvet Underground
Bruce Cockburn
Dead Can Dance
His Name is Alive
The Smiths
The Clash
Vigilantes of Love

and one from the Projekt Festival I attended back in '97 or '98
and one from the very first Detroit Electronic Music Festival (now known as "Movement").

Not music, but I also have a Kids in the Hall t-shirt.

Several of the music shirts I rarely wear out anymore, mostly around the house or to bed. The Smiths t-shirt was for Hatfull of Hollow, and I dyed it orange; the Clash t-shirt I dyed green. Both have faded and been re-dyed several times, but right now are really faded. (RIT dye, you know.) The DCD shirt I sometimes wear out, but it's full of tiny holes. The Joy Division shirt has bleach stains on it, which I've tried to dye, but for some reason that never works.

The VoL, HNIA, and DEMF shirts are too small for me now, so I only wear them around the house or to bed.

I have one Bruce Cockburn shirt that's too small, and one that's too long - that one I bought last year at a concert, and have been meaning to trim & hem it, just haven't gotten to it yet.

I don't usually buy t-shirts with commercial logos (Speedo is the exception), but I do like to bring home souvenir shirts from states, cities and museums I visit--they're inexpensive and when they get worn out I wear them at the gym. So I've got a Maryland shirt with a blue crab, a Rhode Island shirt with embroidered lobster, and a shirt with Luxor embroidered in Arabic and English. Old shirts reserved for the gym are a Chicago House anniversary shirt with a picture of Amun and Mut and a Met Museum shirt decorated with William, the blue faience hippopotamus.
I have also accumulated quite a few Cal t-shirts: an alumni shirt, a football shirt, and four women's basketball shirts, including the one commemorating our WNIT championship from 2010 (I'm a season ticket holder and a member of the booster club--roll on, you Bears [Yipee] .) Two tees celebrating UC's Scripps Institution of Oceanography also reside in my shirt drawer.

My one and only:

Detroit Dog Rescue

...and I'm nowhere near Detroit, but I'm really interested in the plight of all the city's abandoned houses (Bungalows even [Frown] ) amd the thousands of deserted, stray, roaming dogs.

They've received a lot of press and some amazing donations. I discovered them by watching the national broadcast evening news.

They took from their surroundings what was needed... and made of it something more.

A bit like his recent UK performances, then?

Red is not good on me - it brings out the florid, but I do have a red Billy Bragg T-shirt featuring a worker depicted in the socialist style with the legend 'the revolution is just a T-shirt away'. I wear it A LOT. I can't remember exactly how long I have had it, but it is definitely a pre-2005 vintage. I love it!

My mates bought me one of those for a birthday a few years ago. Love it.

Not so - and previews of his new album have me excited ... but that's a-whole-nother-thread.

I have an Anglican Hooligan t-shirt.

I was advised not to wear it before ordination.

That wouldn't surprise me. Good at rugby, literacy ... Not so much.
The local version says, "I support Canterbury and anyone playing Auckland."

My favourite t shirt says, "Christchurch Rocks" with a picture taken from the quake drum showing one of the many quakes, but there were oyjer more witty ones to came out of the experience of the last 22 months.

I saw a lovely t-shirt / sweatshirt design in the Cathedral shop at Salisbury. It had a chorister teddy on it who looked just like me <-

Regretting not buying it now.
