Lately, I’ve seen these easy, pared down lists on T-shirt sporting strangers. After I learn one of many shirts and acknowledge the reference, I really feel a connection to the T-shirt–clad particular person. If I had been extra outgoing, I’d cease the individual and say, “Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel, Joey, and Phoebe had been all on Mates. You and I might be pals! Do you bear in mind the time Ross counted Mississippily whereas getting a twig tan? Did you additionally procrastinate in school whereas watching episode after episode on DVD in your dorm room?” As an alternative, I slyly smile on the passerby and marvel if she or he is aware of that I, too, get the cultural reference.
One night, I did somewhat web analysis about these shirts. In keeping with Howdesign.com, record shirts first happened in 2001 when a John & Paul & George & Ringo shirt was created. The designers “took the concept of probably the most archetypical band ever (a band that has been a relentless supply of inspiration to us), and changed the picture with a easy record of names.” Since then, tv exhibits, motion pictures, and different popular culture entities have been listed on stable coloured shirts usually in Helvetica font.
Some may lament that these shirts must be retired together with the Preserve Calm and ___ shirts, however I nonetheless suppose they appear modern. I particularly get pleasure from seeing another person sporting a bookish Helvetica or record shirt. Listed here are just a few I notably get pleasure from. However, within the phrases of Levar Burton, “You don’t should take my phrase for it!”
