Share your Memories: Family Reunion T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Planning a family reunion requires a lot of time and organization. Make your event memorable for the entire family by creating something everyone can take home. Ordering customized t-shirts for the whole gang is hassle free when you shop online.You can start with a generic theme like “Davis Family Reunion. Oswald’s Park 2004.” But, don’t stop there! Use a favorite family photo or a family tree. Use the year, a family theme and nicknames. Or, shop from online libraries for artwork, inspiration and motivation.

There’s something for everyone. Try something sentimental and use the family crest or a tree with members’ names with “Baker Family Established October 21, 1945.” Or, “We are family.” Or, use your family’s ethnic flag with “McAllister. American since 1912, Irish Forever.”

Have some laughs with individualized shirts. Use the same artwork and put individual names on each shirt. Try “I’m the Nana.” “I’m the good-looking aunt.” “I’m the drama queen in this family.”

One family asked the great-grandchildren for the names of their great aunts and uncles. These new nicknames from the kids marked the shirts for the 2007 reunion. Everyone had a good laugh when John went from his lifelong nickname of John Junior to “UJ.” The teenagers said it was short for Uncle John.

Does your family have a favorite song or movie? Use it on your t-shirts. Try, “My Big, Fat, Greek Reunion. The Speryos. 2008.” Or, how about a favorite phrase of a family member? The Long family poked fun at Aunt Anne one year with these shirts, “Amen to that!”

Family reunion shirts are good for more than just laughs and memories at the party. They are great for spotting the family if your reunion is at a big public venue. One family had bright, Kelly green shirts for their 2006 party at an amusement park. It was easy to find one another among the games and rides.

It’s easy to order online. Pick artwork from online libraries or design your own. Add text, names, dates and themes. There are thousands of fonts to choose from online. Then pick shirt styles, sizes and colors. See the proof online and order. Here’s a tip from the pros: order more of the larger size shirts than smaller ones. People are typically happy to wear a shirt that’s a bit too big over a shirt that’s too small. Expect delivery to take a couple weeks.

The McDonald family holds a contest every year to create their family reunion t-shirts. It’s a big family with six children, 19 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren! To keep their annual party organized they form committees. It’s a real honor to be on the t-shirt committee and select the winner. Last year, they put together 30 years of shirts and made them into a quilt for grandma and grandpa. It was a scrapbook of family parties and memories. The quilt made for a very special gift.

Don’t forget to use your website. It’s becoming more and more common to set up the whole party online. If you’re using a family website or yahoo group to stay connected during the planning process, put the website right on the t-shirt! It makes it easy to remember once everyone starts posting their pictures from the party.

Your family reunion t-shirts are sure to be a hit. Give everyone a reunion gift they’ll remember for generations!

Anthropology T-Shirts are Great Cultural Artifacts for Today

Leave a reply

Anthropology is the study of humanity, civilization and culture. It is most often accomplished through long-term study and immersion in the culture in question, usually as a participant observer. Quite often when people think of anthropology, they think of anthropological digs, where people are uncovering information about long gone cultures. In reality, the study of cultures that still exist is a much more common, practical and useful form of anthropology. It is the focus of most anthropology studies and can tell us a great deal of things that are important to know about what sets us apart from other groups of people.

Anthropology has been around since the 1800’s and has evolved and changed greatly since then. Anthropology developed in North America with interest in native Indian groups that lived her before western Europeans moved to this part of the world and “discovered” it. Cultural comparisons play a huge part in anthropology, because everything is relative when it comes to culture. Normal for one culture is not for another. Therefore any study you read on a particular culture will be slightly colored by the culture of the anthropologist who did it.

Anthropology has many different aspects that make it a unique type of subject. This study of humanity is said to be made up of studying all humanity that has ever existed and all the different parts of each group of humanity. There are four different specialized areas that make up anthropology:
– physical or biological anthropology
– socio-cultural anthropology
– archeology
– linguistic anthropology.
Each of these is its own unique specialty and has its own areas to focus on.

There are many other fields of study that can overlap some of the things that interest and concern anthropology. Sociology, psychology, social sciences and physical sciences all touch anthropology, however, it is still a study that is unique in itself and can not be completely or accurately covered by another. It comprises the cultural aspects that set one group apart from another and these include: folklore, tradition, knowledge, beliefs, laws, art, morals, customs, habits and anything else that makes up the society.

For an anthropology buff, nothing says how much you love the study of cultures like anthropology T-shirt. You can get a custom-made shirt that talks about anthropology in general, specific cultural studies, or the fact that you love the subject. You can get a fun shirt that says “I am a cultural anthropologist doing a study on your culture. Do something interesting.”

For anyone who belongs to an anthropology group or faculty, having custom-made tees made up for the members is a great idea. It shows group unity and pride of membership. It also promotes the existence of the group or presence of the faculty. Custom tees can even be used as fundraisers for groups. Anyone who is a present student of anthropology, an alumnus of the study or even anyone intrigued by the subject would love to have anthropology T-shirt to wear.

How to Put Your Child’s Artwork on a T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Children are a blessing for certain. But raising them is undoubtedly one of the hardest things that you will ever do. It is easy to become completely overwhelmed with the demands of school let alone after school activities and weekend plans. The notebooks, book bags, papers, homework and artwork pile up and at the end of the day you are left wondering which way is up. The demands of your own life often take a back-seat to the needs and desires of your children and the push and pull of parenthood begins to consume your life.

While these are surely crazy times, they are also some of the most exciting and full years of your life and you must always be thinking of ways to preserve them for the future. Photographs are an easy option. By taking lots of pictures of school events, friends and family, you are ensuring that you and your children alike with remember these years down the road. But with all this worry about school, homework, and books, it is easy to loose sight of the smaller things that come home in the children’s backpacks.

A child’s artwork often takes a backseat to photographs when thinking of preserving family memories. This is quite understandable as the materials children for art projects are often not the sturdiest and keeping a set of paper mache planets is not always possible. So why not transform some of their precious artwork into a functional piece of clothing!

Artwork of any kind, including your little one’s drawings, paintings and scribbles, can easily be transferred onto t-shirts, canvas bags and other articles of clothing. There are many methods of transferring.  Any flat work of art can be scanned into a computer using a personal or business scanner. If you do not have a scanner at home, many copy centers, and office supply stores have scanners that can be used in-store for a small fee. Once your image has been scanned into the computer, you attach it to your t-shirt with special iron-on transfer paper that can be purchased at craft stores or office supply stores. Be sure to read the directions on the package as iron-on transfer require specific heat setting on your iron.  Or, to get a really good print that will last much longer than an iron-on you can upload your design online and have someone else print the artwork on the t-shirt.

Customizing a t-shirt with your child’s artwork is an amazing way to preserve the memory of these very special, if hectic, years. Parents can wear them proudly and show off their little ones’ budding talents at the store, on the street, or in the office. Customized t-shirts also make incredible gifts. What grandparent wouldn’t beam at the idea of wearing their grandchild’s special artwork around town.

Pink T-Shirts

Wear Pink T-Shirts to Raise Awareness of Bullies

Leave a reply

Two students at a Nova Scotia high school organized a pink shirt campaign to support those who have been bullied. Pink shirts were chosen because a 9th grade student was bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt at school. Over 50 pink t-shirts were passed out at the school.

Pink T-Shirts

The pink shirt bully campaign spread throughout Canada, the U.S. and Japan and as a result Nova Scotia Premier Rodney MacDonald declared the second Thursday of each school year in his province as Stand Up Against Bullying Day. The result of the campaign was that some bullies left the school and others were expelled for incidents that occurred following the start of the campaign. One bully defecated on a students car, left a dead mouse being stuffed into the vent of a car, and threats of physical violence.

The students hope their pink t-shirt and actions will result in less bullying. One student said “We know we can’t demolish bullying, but we can teach kids to stand up and not accept situations.” Read more about it in the Sudbury Star.

Anyone who witnesses bullying can report bullying online at www.bullyhelp.org, which allows people to report incidents and then the web site staff will contact school staff. Also check out Christy Clark’s Wear Pink bullying site.

T-Shirt Ideas for Cycling Enthusiasts

Leave a reply

Custom cycling t-shirts are perfect for a number of different occasions. Whether you are a cyclist, an event organizer or even a friend or family member of a cyclist, there is a t-shirt that is just perfect for you. It may take time to find this shirt but once you do, you will have a way to show your love for the sport or your support for your favorite cyclist.

Wearing your heart on your sleeve is one way to show the world how much you love cycling. Unless you have a group of friends who also enjoy the sport, finding people to talk to about the sport can be difficult. Friends and family members who don’t understand your love of riding a bike may zone out when you talk about your latest ride. This can be frustrating but you can let a message t-shirt do the talking for you. This way, you aren’t boring your loved ones with non-stop chatter about your sport of choice but they will get the message.

Event organizers might want to consider a number of different t-shirt options when they organize a race. Whether it is a full or a half century race, a multi-day staged race or a short road race, t-shirts can be used for a number of different purposes. T-shirts can be given out during packet pick-up of a cycling race to provide racers with a memento of the occasion. Racers can opt to wear the t-shirt during the race or can save it for a later occasion.

Event organizers may also want to make t-shirts a mandatory part of the race. Requiring racers to wear the t-shirts can help in a number of ways. One way to do this is to create custom shirts for each age group. The t-shirts can have different colors for different age groups. Or they can have the age group emblazoned on the back of the shirt. This makes the competition more exciting. Racers can easily determine whether riders ahead of them are in their age group. Seeing a direct competitor just a few yards ahead can really motivate a cyclist. Also spectators can easily see when the first finisher in each age group is approaching the finish line.

Still another way for event organizers to use custom t-shirts is to create shirts for finishers and for winners. Many racing events give all racers a commemorative t-shirt when they check in for the race but most racers have a greater appreciation for finisher’s t-shirts and winner’s t-shirts. Customizing these t-shirt with text that shows the event details is an excellent idea.

Even if you don’t own a bike but want to show your support for the cyclist in your life, there is custom t-shirt that is perfect for you. These t-shirts are a great idea if you are planning to cheer a friend or family member on at a race. One great idea for this type of shirt is to design a t-shirt with your loved one’s name and a few words of encouragement. Another option is to create a t-shirt with the silhouette of him on his bike.

Another Celebrity Spotted Wearing a Barack Obama T-Shirt

Another celebrity was recently spotted wearing an Obama T-Shirt. Well actually, I am not sure if this person really qualifies as a celebrity but…Kim Kardashian was seen wearing a t-shirt with the phrase “Obama is my Homeboy” walking around LAX.

Kim is a American socialite, television personality who is also known for a leaked “home video”. While I don’t think that Kim is giving Obama the extra edge from her support anytime a celebrity or person of interest wears such a shirt it does bring extra attention.

This is not the first time Kim has been seen wearing an Obama t-shirt. Back in June 2007 Kim was photographed wearing an Obama for Change t-shirt.

Cycling Tees are for Everyone

Leave a reply

Ok, admit it, you’ve secretly had dreams of being on the Tour de France. You can see yourself, racing through the French countryside, wind at your back, cheering fans lining the track, and you in a yellow jersey.

Look a little closer at this fantasy; look at the cheering fans…they’re all wearing cycling t-shirts! And, what’s more, they all match! Unbelievable. How to explain such an enigma? They must have gotten together and ordered some custom-designed t-shirts -ones that show their love and support for the sport of cycling.

Truly, we can’t all race in the Tour de France, but we can dream, right? And, we can show our passion for the race with some custom tees that will show anyone who cares to look that we love cycling!

Think about it, your cycling group–mostly buddies from work with a few family members thrown in–gets together each Saturday morning, early, to go riding. You may take a tour through downtown, or you may meet at the lake and cruise along country roads. You may start in one town and end in another for breakfast, and then head back the way you came. You may go a different route each time, reveling in the newness of the open road. Why not take the next step and unite your group with cycling tees?

Great for a holiday gift or in preparation for a race or just because, matching cycling tees will really bring your group a sense of unity and team spirit. Wearing the shirts can also bring an added element of safety to your rides. Think about it; how many times have you been honked at by irritated drivers who didn’t see you guys until the last minute? Well, wearing matching t-shirts will help your group stand out and be more visible to passing motorists. As a non-cycler (a.k.a. driver), while I am willing to share the road, I’d like to do so with a bit more warning on your part; therefore, wearing eye-catching tees would be a good idea for you and your cycling buddies.

Another interesting use for cycling t-shirts would be for a family who loves to ride bikes. Perhaps you take your bikes on all your vacations and ride everywhere that you can; having matching t-shirts is fun and a great way to show off your family’s favorite activity. While the teens in your family (if you’re so blessed to have any right now) may not be thrilled with the idea of everyone wearing matching tees, getting them in on the design phase is a great way to rev up their enthusiasm for the project. Since you can get just about anything printed on a t-shirt, customizing a set of 6 or so with matching designs or a funky slogan is sure to interest even the most apathetic teen.

So, no matter what your cycling habits, wearing custom-designed cycling t-shirts is a good idea. You can easily identify other fellow cyclists, you can show your passion for the sport, and you can foster a sense of unity and team spirit among those in your riding club. You can also bring your family members closer together–the family that rides together stays together!

Knife

Is this the World’s Safest T-Shirt?

Leave a reply

A company in Chuo Ward Japan has announced they will soon be selling a T-shirt that offers protection against knives. The slash resistant t-shirt is more than three times as strong as cotton because it is made out of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The fibers are thick enough to help protect you but not too heavy to appear that you are wearing protective clothing. The material is actually equal to aramid fiber which is used in body armor but it is lightweight and machine washable.

Knife

These t-shirts were created in response to an increased number of knife crimes that impacted children and late night convenience shop clerks. The t-shirts protect you best from slashings as opposed to stabbings but aren’t a bad idea if you are in a job that puts you frequently in harms way. The knife resistant t-shirts come in short and long sleeves and are prices start between $190-$523. These t-shirts will be for sale in June 2008. Source: Yomiuri

Recent T-Shirt Technology Means No More Minimum Orders

Leave a reply

Up until recently, custom t-shirt printing companies required all orders to have a certain minimum number of t-shirts. You couldn’t order, say, just one t-shirt for yourself saying, “Today’s My Birthday.” You would have to order ten t-shirts, or maybe twelve. This would severely cut down on the number of occasions for which you could design your own t-shirt in a cost effective way, without wasting. For instance, you would have to have a group of ten people who wanted t-shirts to even consider making an order.

This minimum order rule was necessary for t-shirt printing companies because of the way they made custom t-shirts. The method is called “screen printing,” and involves something like a better version of the iron-on printing you can do at home. The design is actually attached to the shirt. Because screen printing requires an expensive setup before the printing even begins, the t-shirt companies have to charge high setup fees in addition to whatever they charge for the actual t-shirts and the service.

So, it is impossible for the t-shirt printing companies to make a profit if they went through the expensive setup for just one t-shirt. It is also a much too expensive proposition for the client, to pay a large setup fee for one t-shirt. It makes much more sense to order fifteen t-shirts with one design, so that the one setup fee will be divided amongst all fifteen of the shirts. Then, if you have people contributing to shirts, they will each pay a small portion of the setup fee instead of you paying the entire thing just for your one “Today’s My Birthday” t-shirt.

Now, however, new technology allows t-shirt companies to inexpensively print one design on just one t-shirt. Thus we have the new “No Minimum Order” promise from companies. The new technology is digital printing. It prints the design directly onto the garment, which is why it is sometimes called “Direct To Garment” printing. This type of printing requires no setup, and is very high quality. The design is directly on the fabric, so it feels very soft—not rigid or shiny like the old iron-on type of transfer.

In addition to the new digital technology, many t-shirt printing companies still offer screen printing and embroidery—they just require a minimum order for those types of printing. So you can still do bulk ordering and get the discounts that many companies offer with large quantities—but you also have the option of ordering just one t-shirt with one design.

So, think of all the possibilities there are for single t-shirt designs! You can get personalized t-shirts for each person in your club, or for yourself or your loved ones. You could ask someone out on a t-shirt, or propose marriage, or say congratulations. You could also make custom t-shirts for special occasions like weddings or birthdays with different messages on each one. Personalize your t-shirts by putting different people’s pictures on the front, or different names on the back, or messages to each other on the front or back. Use your imagination!

Will you Regret Wearing an Ironic T-Shirt?

Leave a reply

SheKnows.com did a story on the top 10 regretable fashion trends and one of them includes the t-shirt. The fashion/style no-no’s include:

  1. overtanning
  2. extensions
  3. hobo chi
  4. t-shirts with ironic expressions
  5. giant sunglasses
  6. Uggs
  7. bringing back the 1980s
  8. hoodies
  9. crocs
  10. ultra low rise jeans

The article states that “This once-cute trend has now reached an annoying level of pop culture pervasiveness. Sorry, hipsters, but it would be nice if you found some other way to express your sarcasm.”

Well, I have to say that shoving all ironic expression t-shirts into one group is not exactly fair. As a t-shirt lover I believe there is a place for ironic t-shirts. I would love to hear more from SheKnows about why they don’t like them. Personally I find them amusing and always commend those who are brave enough to wear text based t-shirts. Will you really regret wearing the shirt 20 years from now? If the ironic t-shirt was your biggest no-no when looking back 20 years then I say you aren’t doing too bad. Let us know what you think.

The Underwater World and Oceanography T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Oceanography is probably the least understood of all the scientific disciplines. Other disciplines, like biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physics are commonly studied at various levels in the educational system. Then there are others, like environmental science, geology, and astronomy that are known because of television shows and documentaries. The most that the average person knows about oceanography is that it has something to do with studying the ocean. Very few people actually get to see the world that exists under the sea. But YOU do. As a person who studies and/or loves oceanography, you know the world down there is so different than what is on dry ground. You know that there’s nothing like it above the water. As a matter of fact, you know that people who get exposed to it find it to be a fascinating place.

So how do you expose people to a world that is completely hidden from them? How do you show them what you see all the time? What can you do to help them discover the underwater world without forcing them into SCUBA gear or deep sea diving? How about exposing them to the world down under with some subtle things? The most subtle thing you could do is show them the world just by walking down the street, even if you’re not interacting personally. How? Through your clothing, like your t-shirts.

Let’s say you take a t-shirt and put pictures of oceanic life on those t-shirts, particularly some really cool things that don’t look like anything that appears above ground. For example, you could put pictures of underwater wildlife on a t-shirt, like sea anemone, starfish, jellyfish, coral, octopi, sponges, or schools of fish (sharks, dolphins, or even some rare fish that most people don’t know about). With these pictures, you could have a description of what’s on the picture, or some other vital statistical information. You could also put humor with some of these pictures, if you can think of some cool and humorous captions to go along with each picture.

One example might be a picture of jellyfish with a caption that mentions something humorous about a jellyfish’s sting. Another example would be a picture of starfish with something that humorous about seeing stars.

Other ideas for cool oceanic pictures that you could put on a t-shirt include the pictures of the ocean floor or the tectonics of the layers of the earth under the ocean.

If you would rather say something about oceanography specifically, you could come up with slogans and sayings that put a positive spin on oceanography or express your love for oceanography. For example, you could say some simple things like, “I love oceanography,” “My heart lives underwater. I’m an oceanographer,” “I heart oceanography,” or “oceanography is cool.” If you wanted to be a little more creative with the subject of oceanography, you could come with some creative slogans like: “When I look down I see stars. I’m an oceanographer.” “Oceanographers know how to make waves.”

Build School Pride with Great Tees

Leave a reply

Elementary schools are the first real school that most children attend. Students learn many basic and advanced skills through the dedication of the school’s teachers and staff. Schools are also expected to help the kids build character and pride in their accomplishments. One of the ways schools can help kids show their pride is through custom t-shirts.

T-shirts are a common type of clothing that most kids wear to school. Creating a shirt for the school is actually a great idea since most kids wear t-shirts often anyway that it wouldn’t be a stretch to expect the students to wear it. The entire school can have the same design on their shirts. The shirt can be one of the school’s colors and the printing can be another. Having the name of the school, the year, a motto and the mascot are all things that can be put onto the shirt to create a school wide t-shirt.

Individual grades can also have t-shirts. The oldest grade can have a shirt that says, “Big kids on campus” and the year. They can also have “breaking out in 2008” if they are headed to another campus the next school year. The students can also create a slogan for their grade that they would love to have on a shirt. Adding a graphic of either the school mascot or other school related item like a pencil adds color to the shirt.

Teachers can have their own shirts to show others their passion for teaching. “You can’t scare me I’m a teacher” would be cute or you can personalize it even more and add the grade level or the number of students you have. “3 reasons I like teaching, June, July, August” would be funny. Or you’re shirt can make a statement about the difficult job teachers have. “Teachers can open the door, but it’s your choice whether you walk through it or not” is a very real truth. Another cute shirt is, “I’m a teacher, I get paid to tell you what to do.”

A cute shirt for kids is “homework is evil, it must be stopped.” A picture of a bus with, “Check out my ride” would be really cute on a kids t-shirt. Other cute kids shirts can be simple with “I’m in fifth grade” or whatever grade the child is actually in or “Recess is my favorite subject”. Using the child’s favorite class to create a shirt is a great way to make a personalized t-shirt. Whether you use reading, math, science or even music the shirt should reflect the child’s personality.

Designing a t-shirt is a great way to show your love of a school, a student, or a teacher. The shirt doesn’t have to be fancy, just a simple saying might be enough. If you want to make it more personal, you can add graphics to add uniqueness and dates that can remembered years later. Elementary custom t-shirts are fun to design and fun to wear, so enjoy it.

When Are T-Shirts Appropriate?

Leave a reply

From the White House, to the workplace, to the red carpet, and everywhere in between, dressing down is trending up. While some occasions still require a suit, a tie, and patent leather shoes, casual dress is becoming increasingly acceptable where formality was once the rule. T-shirts used to be relegated to the bottom dresser drawer, nestled between old pairs of underwear and mismatched socks. Now they are seen as a fun way to liven up a wardrobe, not just on the weekends, but every day of the week.

T-shirts are no longer off-duty from 9 to 5. Many employers now encourage their employees to embrace a more flexible corporate culture, which often includes a more casual dress code. For some workers, jeans, t-shirts, and flip-flops are the daily uniform. Even if that look is too dressed down for your office, there still may be room for a t-shirt or two in your wardrobe. A t-shirt can be dressed up with a tailored blazer and crisp slacks, adding a splash of warmth and color to a no-nonsense business look. Sharply dressed young men often layer traditional button down shirts over playful t-shirts, spicing up the corporate look with a bit of youthful fashion sense. With a little imagination and style, anybody can incorporate t-shirts into a professional wardrobe.

Wearing a t-shirt to work makes it easy to transition into going-out garb at the end of the day. Take off that jacket or undo another button or two, and you’re left with a fun, flirty look that will carry you through the evening. Graphic tees, emblazoned with words and pictures, are a far cry from Grandpa’s plain white undershirt. Today’s t-shirt makes a statement, and can be as unique as the person wearing it. It’s a look that’s absolutely appropriate for a dinner out, grabbing drinks with friends, or even going to a party. If Sharon Stone can wear a t-shirt to the Oscars, you can wear a t-shirt to your buddy’s birthday party.

Of course, the t-shirt’s bread-and-butter is relaxation. T-shirts are soft, flexible, easy to care for, easy to wear–the perfect garment for lounging around the house, for vegging out in front of the TV, or for taking a Saturday afternoon nap in the hammock. College students–the gurus of relaxation–practically live in t-shirts. There’s no better choice for someone watching Sunday afternoon football or staying up for an all night study session. And for those weekend activities that aren’t so relaxing–washing the car, painting the garage, mowing the lawn–t-shirts are the only way to go. T-shirts let you get through any tough job in style.

Once upon a time, you couldn’t wear stripes with plaid, you couldn’t wear white after Labor Day, and you couldn’t wear t-shirts if you weren’t doing chores or going to the gym. But times have changed. Society has embraced a more expansive and flexible set of fashion rules. These days, people are free to choose the clothes that they like best. T-shirts are now appropriate in a whole range of settings and situations, meaning we can look good and feel comfortable at work, at home, and out on the town.

What to Wear on April Fools Day

Leave a reply

April Fools Day, also known as All Fool’s Day in some countries, isn’t exactly a holiday, but it is celebrated every year all over the world. In the U.S. April 1st is prime time for practical jokes and hoaxes. Our friends, family members, and co-workers usually bear the brunt of our “celebrations,” but with the advent of the internet, virtual strangers can put one over on millions of people before they realize they’ve been had.

People have pulled thousands of pranks over the years, but only the most astounding usually land a spot on the “best of” lists. The internet is full of hoaxes and practical jokes that have stood the test of time for 50 years or more.

A good way to memorialize the best of these is to create a custom T-shirt. It’s a great conversation starter, and at least you’ll have something new to wear this April 1. Here are some great hoaxes to commemorate with a custom T-shirt:

* Spaghetti trees: In 1957 a BBC show famously claimed that Swiss scientists had successfully eradicated the “spaghetti weevil.” As a result, spaghetti trees were flourishing across the land. The BBC fielded hundreds of phone calls from viewers who wanted to obtain their own spaghetti trees.

* Left-handed Whoppers: In 1998 Burger King ran an ad in USA Today announcing a new Whopper for left-handed people. The difference? The toppings were engineered to drip out of the right side. Thousands of people ordered the new burgers, or requested the “old,” right-handed version.

* Smell-O-Vision: In 1965, the BBC announced it was going to try out a new technology that transmitted odor over the airwaves to its viewers. Thousands called in to say the study was a success. The BBC.com conducted an online version of the hoax in 2007–again duping thousands of people.

* The Great Iceberg: In 1978 an Australian adventurer and businessman promised to tow an iceberg from Antarctica to Sydney Harbor. He said he planned to carve the block of ice into small cubes and sell them to the public for 10 cents each. The barge pulled into the harbor, pulling the iceberg. However, once it started to rain, the prank was revealed–it was just a mountain of firefighting foam and shaving cream.

Creating a custom T-shirt remembering these well-known hoaxes takes only your creativity and your wallet. It’s easy enough to design your own “spaghetti tree” or “spaghetti weevil”–easier still to hire a designer to do it for you. Same goes for the “left-handed Whopper.”

Just the words “Smell-O-Vision” on your T-shirt is sure to generate a comment or two, while “The Great Iceberg” hoax will probably result in more shrugs than anything. However, that will be the most unique, eclectic shirt in your closet–no one will have anything that remotely resembles it.

Although April Fool’s Day is one of the few holidays that isn’t celebrated with gatherings, food, and dancing, it’s still an opportunity to show your creativity and passion for pranks.

Battle of the Sexes on a T-Shirt – Girl Power!

“Men are from Mars, women are from Venus”
“Girls rule, boys drool.”
“Girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupid-er.”

Yes ladies, when it comes to the no-holds-barred battle of the sexes, there’s no end to the inventiveness we gals will employ to let those boys know just where they stand! Sometimes you just need to shout out, “I am woman! Hear me roar!” It’s important for women and girls to acknowledge the strength and power that comes along with their femininity. Wearing empowering T-shirts can be a great way to remind yourself, as well as the rest of the world, that just because you’re looking great in your adorable new pink tee, doesn’t mean you can’t kick butt too!

There is an endless variety of female-empowering T-shirts that can be made, expressing just about any sentiment or message you can think of. T-shirts are a great way to bring uniformity and a shared sense of girl-power to any gal group, be it in school, sports, friends, or family.

Hey sorority sisters, why not show off your pride with matching house tees? Greek letters, or an empowering motto on the front will show those fraternities who’s boss! A cute design, graduation years, even silly nicknames can be printed on the back, giving everyone an opportunity to share in the fun. You can wear your shirts to sports games, fundraising events, and even class! Wherever you go, your shirt will let everyone know who you are and what you stand for.

Other girl-powered groups can deck themselves out in their favorite colors while sending their message of pride, strength, and determination to the world! Female sports teams would do well to highlight their strengths on the clothes they wear! What better way to tell the town that the varsity softball team is fearless. A well designed and empowering t-shirt will promote a team while inspiring its wearer!

Don’t belong to a sorority or team? No problem! You don’t have to be in a sorority to have powerful sisters! Why not get your friends or family members together to design an inspiring shirt you would all be proud to wear. Perhaps you will choose a famous quote or image, or maybe you will design something completely unique.

You could even use your t-shirts to poke fun at sibling rivalry. On one mom’s birthday, her adult daughters sported custom tees that gave everyone a chuckle. Mom wore one that said, “I’m their mom.” Each daughter wore a shirt with the same message, “Don’t tell my sisters – I’m mom’s favorite.”

It’s not just about what the shirt says, but also how it is worn. Remember to wear your design with confidence, knowing you and you alone created it. We must not only tell the world who we are with what we wear, we must also show them who we are by how we act. Sorority sisters, be kind to one another, athletes, be good sports and friends, always be true. Us girls have to stick together and what better way than by believing in ourselves, supporting one another and being proud of who we are!
