I’m breaking convention here (which I hardly ever do) in terms of what I’m posting and how I’m presenting it. I have an excellent reason, though: The Warriors: Triple Gang Box Set by Dark Bunny Tees. I don’t usually feature more than one shirt at a time but all three of the tees in the set are pretty sweet…and you can only get two of the three by purchasing the entire set…so that’s what I’m posting. And instead of posting pics of all three shirts or choosing one to highlight, I decided to include a photo of the box set’s amazing and exclusive VHS case packaging. Click through to take a closer look at the packaging and individual shirts. It really is something special. You can buy the set for £75.

I had second thoughts about posting this King Tut Kanye Glasses Tshirt because I really dislike those glasses; as talented as Kanye is, he can’t sell me on them. But they actually look pretty good on the boy king. And since the current King Tut exhibition at The de Young Museum is nearly over and summer is just a few short months away, this tee isn’t quite as random as it first appears. Get it for $19 from Headline Shirts.

I believe this Tshirt is an awesome homage to Posterous. That’s probably because it’s mine. I created it for myself but decided to let Meme Engine have it…because we’re family and because ME is the best home for it. Since then, I’ve featured a number of their tees but I think it’s time I give myself a little pat on the back by posting Your Blog Is Pre-Posterous. (Technically, my blog is, too…but ATshirtPosterous isn’t.) It’s a simple type tee that makes me smile, which is why I thought to make it in the first place. Posterous is extremely powerful and versatile…so much so that I still haven’t made proper use of mine. [You know I will, though. Same goes for Tumblr. A lot of people compare the two, but I find them to be quite different and will use them to different ends. So keep an eye on them!] Anyway, if you’re a fan of Posterous, you should probably buy this for $24+ — it makes me look good! (And it will make you look good, too.)

Welcome to Rapture is a solid tribute to the game BioShock and references the underwater city in which it is set. Love the game. Love the shirt. You can get it for £12 from GamerPrint.

Nobody Is Sicker Than Me. Nobody. What I really like about this shirt is its double meaning. It’s a Seinfeld reference, of course, in which George Costanza obsesses over illness. But the word “sick” is also a slang for “cool”, “dope”, “fresh”, “tight”, “rad”, “awesome”, and especially “ill”…among others. Given the design of this tee, I’m sure its creator had that in mind. Available for $20 from 80sTees.

Here’s another Keep Calm… iteration; this one is by a blog favorite: Meme Engine. I’m biased when it comes to whatever ME puts out so, naturally, I believe that Keep It On ‘Til The Break Of Dawn is one of the better Keep Calm spin-offs. What do you think? I’ve only posted one other Keep Calm inspired tee, though there are definitely some other notable ones out there. [I just compiled a list of some here!] Anyway, you can buy this one for $27.99…but if you opted for the standard fitted tee (as opposed to the athletic heathered shirt pictured above) then you can scoop it for $24.99. Note that even though the apostrophe is pointing the wrong way in this post’s title, it is pointed the correct way in the print!

Polar Beer is another amazing LOST T-shirt. Designed by Ian Leino, this tee references the polar bear, the hatch, and — always a favorite here — beer. If you’re a fan of LOST, you’ll undoubtedly have gotten the reference. Regardless, it’s a really solid print; click through for a closer look at it. And while you’re there, you can scoop it up for $18.

This Kerouac T-shirt references a line from Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” and you can get it for $19 from RAYGUN. Incidentally, this post comes right after another homage to Kerouac which I posted the other day.

Here’s another one of the many masterpieces from Out of Print Clothing’s library: the On the Road T-shirt. It features amazing art by Len Deighton from the English edition dust jacket of Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel. You can get the shirt for $28.

Much to my delight, Jon Wye just released some new goodies; my favorite among them is this Warhol Homage T-shirt. There’s a men’s version of this shirt with a negative [as in photographic] print which I like every bit as much as this one…but I wanted to post the women’s tee because, frankly, I don’t post enough stuff for all the females out there (…although I’d like to point out that many of the ones I do post are also available in women’s sizes. I digress…) You can grab this for $36.
