The last time I posted about t-shirts, I mentioned that I had a second Doctor Who related shirt on the way, this one comes by way of TeeRaiders, but it’s not an exclusive design. I’ve been seeing this shirt show up around the internet on a number of different sites, but I’ve held back until now. I just couldn’t take it anymore, it’s too awesome. Not only does it combine one of my favorite movies, Scott Pilgrim v. The World, with one of my favorite TV shows, but it also features Martha Jones, who happens to be one of my favorite companions. She doesn’t get nearly enough love.

The second shirt comes from RIPT Apparel and is called “Doctorama.” This shirt isn’t specifically a Doctor Who shirt, but it does feature four of the doctors along with a mess of other famous pop culture doctors. It’s pretty great and the best part is that they are all presented as Futurama-styled heads-in-a-jar. The only thing I don’t like about the shirt is Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. I could do without him.

So I’ve got a few new shirts here that need to be posted. The first two have been sitting around for a couple weeks, and actually, I’ve worn them already.

This first one comes from Threadless.com. It’s called Old, Old Friend.

This next one is from RIPT Apparel and called A Flesh Wound. A Month Python reference mixed with LEGO is more than enough to sell me.
The third shirt came from Insubordination Fest last weekend.And finally, here is what is now my second Phineas and Ferb shirt. That’s kind of ridiculous, but it’s an awesome show and a solidly nerdy shirt. As soon as it went on sale at Threadless, I had to pull the trigger.

This shirt was a no brainer when I saw it on RIPT. I’m a huge fan of Community and might even go so far as to say it’s in the top five shows currently running.

I can’t wait to wear it tomorrow.

This is the first new t-shirt that I’ve gotten in quite some time. I really have slowed down on the shirt buying. Part of it has been that I just don’t have anywhere to keep them all, it’s a mess, I need to get some better storage/organization going for my shirt collection. The other thing is that we’ve been trying to save as much money as possible for the wedding so we’ve been cutting back on unnecessary purchases. $10-15 here and there doesn’t sound like a lot, but it can add up.

Anyway, I saw this shirt and had to have it, I don’t really like dark blue shirts much, but I like the graphic. As a big Star Wars nerd, I love the Wizard Of Oz take on it. Being that it’s not a straight up Star Wars shirt, I think I can get away with wearing it without entirely looking like a loser who lives in his mother’s basement and has never seen a real boob before.

This shirt came from RIPT Apparel which I like a lot, but takes fooooorever to send orders. It took over three weeks to receive this shirt. I believe it’s because they don’t print the shirts until after they’ve been ordered which makes sense and I can live with that, but I don’t like it. The other thing about RIPT is that they don’t use American Apparel shirts and what they do use tends to run a bit big. This is a size small, but it’s roughly the same size as most of my medium sized shirts which generally are a little big on me.

I think this is actually my first Star Wars t-shirt ever. I kind of had to get it, I couldn’t resist, but then oddly a couple days later Woot had an AT-AT t-shirt as well. The design was arguably better. If it weren’t for this RIPT one, I would have gotten it.
