Quite a while ago, when switching our blog platform from Nucleus to Wordpress, we went on a little “Blog Safari”. Now that The International T-Shirt Day is getting closer and closer, we´re off on Safari again.

And this is how it works: 20 bloggers who

• use the tag “tshirtday08″
• when writing about the first International T-Shirt-Day (which will be celebrated on June 21st in Europe),
• link to www.t-shirtday.com and
• comment on this post or simply post a trackback,

will get the brand new Zeixs book on t-shirt design or laFraise vouchers. If more than 20 bloggers take part, the winners will be drawn at random.

In addition, the best story in regards to a favourite t-shirt, which is posted before the 21st of June, will be awarded with a Samsung NV24D Digital Camera.

The race is over: Jonas made his way on our T-Shirtday site and won the sample-shirt. Have a look at the T-Shirtday site and get involved - we have three more Sample Shirts to give away. So if you want to be a t-shirtday testimonial, send us your foto and shirt story to

stories AT spreadshirt . net

If we publish your story, you’ll receive a free sample shirt from us.

Until next monday, you can also participate in the T-Shirtday Competition over at laFraise: we are looking for the official T-Shirtday design to replace the “I (heart)” design as topseller in our marketplace.

Short question in advance:

Do you know why?

Sustainability is our big theme in April: Earth Day, Bamboo and Eco-Cotton – Bambi will surely show up too. “Everything beautiful and good,” our production taoist philosophized, who might have just watched too much Star Wars. “You can push yourself as much as you want. As long as you behold the light and not the shadow, Ying and Yang won’t be in balance.”

That sounds unbelievably wise, impressed us greatly and let’s us simply imagine ripping through the forest at 130 km/h.

Yesterday, the OLP 1.6 Losers Shirts shop was finally opened to the public only three months after closing the Losers Shirts contest.

You´re invited to visit the chique boutique right here and get your piece of the OLP losers pie for a laughable fee of 13 EUR.

But be quick: there are not even 100 shirts out of 140 produced left in our stash.

Like any good international brand, Santa thinks global but acts local varying his customs to fit each countries needs. Find out why he was in Speradshirt Production spicing up orders the past few days.

I’ve been planning to start showing a lot more shirts here. Are there any particular print types, techniques, shirts or colours that you would like to know more about or see photo’s of? Power or Halogen reflex etc? I’ll make some shirts and show the results here. Alternatively if you’ve made a shirt add a photo to the comments or mail me adf (at) spreadshirt.net and I’ll show them here in a customers/partners creations area….

The new video for up and coming Just Jack’s “Glory Days” is packed with t-shirty goodness.  In the video Jack’s t-shirt changes along with the meaning of the lyrics. I count 69 different shirts.  Here’s how they did it.

Any Spreadshirt tees here?

Slate also takes on “zombie brands” - reinventing the un-cool brands of days of yore. Unearthing the brands that lie deep in our psyche seems too good to miss. Companies use the brand for a mash-up: “same name, different product”. Including: Tab Energy, Ford Taurus, Radar mag. And Vanity Fair, which has in the last decades come back with a vengeance (and just recently launched over here in Germany. You can listen to the article as a podcast.

Finally, the big break for air guitarists. CSiRO have invented a shirt with imbedded sensors that interpret your strumming on your tum into actual sounds. How does it work? The scientists* over at CSIRO found a way to “recognise and interpret arm movements and relay this wirelessly to a computer for audio generation”. You can even it do it tipsy: “There are no trailing cables to get in way or trip over”!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I thought the joy of air guitaring is that you got to imagine that you could sound like Twisted Sister, without having the actual “talent” of Twisted Sister. I’m sure there are many talented, talented air guitarists out there just waiting for this big break. But for me, I’d rather keep on projecting my talent, than actually be responsible for the sounds coming out. Although, I guess you can always turn down the volume.
