Hide Your Arms T-Shirt

If you have been following @RudeRetro on Twitter you will know that I am off running for a bit because of my knee. You should also know that Andy from Hide Your Arms finally put his t-shirt on sale. He recently had a new logo designed, has a new website and a matching t-shirt. He has a store in both Storenvy and hosted by Big Cartel. They are selling the same t-shirt which makes me wonder how he manages the stock.

It’s a pretty sweet tee and a great color for the summer. I have to admit that I have been considering it but it’d be a little odd for me to wear it. On the other hand I’d much rather wear it than my own non-logo logo t-shirt. Hell, this blog doesn’t even have its own domain. I have been thinking about doing something about that for a while too but it’s a bit of a hassle.

Anyway, the HYA logo tee comes in girls (see above)  and boys American Apparel tees and are printed by the awesome Storenvy. And I bet it’s one of those t-shirts that just gets better as it fades. Shit, I’ve almost convinced myself to get one.

T-Shirts for Haiti

I haven’t had time to post recently but I have been keeping up on things. One of the big things in the t-shirt industry in the last month or so has been the support for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Here are a collection of t-shirts or sites that are doing their bit.

1. Flying Mouse is contributing all profits from this tee too Unicef.

2. Local Celebrity collaborate with Yele Haiti and 100% of tee profits go there.

3. Threadless are contributing all proceeds (not just profit) from the sale of this tee to The American Red Cross and Haiti Relief and Development Fund. At the time of writing this post they have already sold 7000 of these $10 tees and they plan to sell up to 15,000 more. Awesome!

4. Bungie (makers of video game Halo?) are contributing profits from this t-shirt as well as all online store profits through February directly to the relief efforts in Haiti.

5. Cafepress had a t-shirt designed by Shepard Fairey (which is no longer on sale) as well as designs donated from the community which are still available. Cafepress have already donated $30,000 to the US fund for UNICEF.

6. Storenvy have a selection of beautiful shirts and $8 from each sale will go to the American Red Cross. Lots of designers offered up their designs and they all deserve a shout out but only six were chosen.

7. Blink 182 apparently raised $30,000 for Haiti with this t-shirt but it doesn’t seem to be on sale anymore.

8. Lady Gaga also added her celebrity power to a charity t-shirt with all proceeds going to the Red Cross.

9. ZBQ will donate $6 from every t-shirt sold in their until the end of February which is pretty awesome as they have a great collection of original tees.
