Thread: Who's on Your T-Shirt?

At the moment wearing a tee which says ATHENS - MARATHON - GREECE in pseudo-archaic letters, surrounding silhouettes of five runners and surmounted by a green branch which is definitely not laurel (or marathon, ie fennel), but looks sort of palm-y.
I bought it a hotel in Delphi when my luggage was late in arriving.
This started me on a binge of tee-buying on vacations, so now I have SLOVENSKA (with coat of arms), and 2 from the opera house in Vienna.
This thread is prompting me to empty out the tee-shirt drawer and see what treasures I've forgotten!

Also Judas Priests' "Painkiller" which I brought at a concert in Katowice. AC/DC's "Black Ice" was a present. A red "Killing Joke" (the album cover from 1980) T-shirt was bought at a concert of theirs in Warsaw last year, and a Metallica "St. Anger" angel (like in my profile picture) is also owned by myself.

I think I can fairly safely say that I was the only one of 20,000 people at Cropredy with a Half Man Half Bisuit T-shirt...

A suitable t-shirt design for a Chorister. (But you will need good glasses, even if you do click on the enlarging square)

My most favourite T-shirt is one with the Thunderbirds on it ("Thunderbirds are go!") bought for me by my sons many years ago. Greatly loved, often worn and now too fragile to wear.

I also like this one - created in response to some rather misguided woman who decided to 'restore' an old work of religious art to its 'former glory' (not).
But suspect, in reality, I'm more of an 'Anglican Hooligan'.

I wore a t-shirt featuring my wife's university for two days, but I usually wear shirts featuring bands I have worked for or Tottenham Hotspur football gear because they are my favourite football side.

With 2.0 glasses and a magnifying glass, I still couldn't make heads or tails of it other than the word GEEK: do you have an electron microscope I could borrow?

My favourite T shirt is:
organic cotton,
slim fit,
fairly traded,
recyled,
Greenbelt logo for a year I attended the Festival,
tie-dyed in purples,(my favourite colours)
sold at Greenbelt as a fundraiser for the festival.
AND I wear it often.
I am not sure it could press any more buttons as far as I am concerned.

I have two different types of football shirts: 3 Tottenham Hotspur Football Club replica jerseys and one Oakland Raiders t-shirt. I also have several shirts with names of bands I have worked for. My wife has quite a few with the name or initials of her university on the front, in four different colours.

How dare you sully the purity of the "Peoples front of Judea" by referring to them as 'Judean People's Liberation Front'.

The one I wore today featured William Shakespeare -- as do many of my t-shirts, all from my local Shakespeare company.

Worse, it is elitist drivel. No more valid than attributing the works of the Bard to Kevin Bacon.

I used to have one with "Romney Marsh* Mountain Rescue" on it, but stopped wearing it when geological field trips took me to areas where the real thing was necessary. And I very much wanted one with "Goodwin Sands** Potholing Club", but never found one on sale.

Another Beatles fan here- I bought a black t-shirt from the Beatles Story in June.
Their faces are in half light, like in Astrid's photos.
I've also got a blue one from the last Macca concert I went to at the O2, plus a huge green one as was the fashion then, from his Back In the World concert.
Oh yes, and one from the Flowers in the Dirt tour too.
I might be a little obsessed.
I recently threw out my Cliff Access All Areas tour t-shirt!

[tangent] Obsessed, hmm... I used to wear Beatle boots until the company I bought them from in Liverpool stopped making them for ladies. Very expensive, Italian leather, but each pair lasted for three years so they were worth the investment. Now all I can find is an inferior version of the 'Lennon' boot from Brantano. [\tangent]
I have a T-shirt from the Hard Day's Night Hotel in Liverpool with their logo, which is supposed to be the opening chord. However, several musicians have taken great delight in telling me that the chord is wrong. Not being a musician myself, I have no idea who is right, but now I'm more careful where I wear this T-shirt.

I have just ordered myself a red one with PLEB & PROUD on it, hopefully in the keep calm and carry on typeface.
I'm not sure where I'm going to wear it.

Oh, I do like the Anglican Hooligan. Might have to get one of those..
My favourite t shirt is pink with "i think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that" printed on it. I got it off the badscience website.
