The Only Team Edward Shirt You'll Ever Need

Lauren Davis — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:30:00 PST

Twilight fans can keep their shirts emblazoned with Robert Pattinson's face. The rest of us know that the only Team Edward worth belonging to is Team Edward James Olmos. And now you can wear your affiliation proudly.

Joel Watson drew this strip for HijiNKS Ensue, his thrice weekly webcomic about technology and geek culture:

Naturally, this spurred an immediate demand for an actual Team Edward James Olmos shirt, and Watson has not disappointed. The Team EJO shirt is available for $20 at the HijiNKS Ensue store.

Wondering just which movie monster is the biggest of them all? A new t-shirt from designer Sean Mort lays it all out for you in a handy, easy-to-reference chart.

The t-shirt is available here, and described simply by Mort as

a load of monsters and baddies from famous films on a size chart.

We're just concerned that Megatron seems so small in comparison to Cloverfield's monster.

First Outlines Of Avatar's Slender Aliens

A first glimpse of the super skinny, long haired alien life-forms from James Cameron's 3-D epic Avatar opens the door for many questions. Could this T-shirt design really be what the inhabitants of Alpha Centauri B-4, otherwise known as the Na'vi, look like? Click through for more pictures and spoilery talk.

So what have we learned from these silhouettes of Avatar? They have three toes, long hair, possibly cat ears (see small bumps on their heads). They have a tail (excellent!). They can control a massive bow and arrow and never eat — ever (look at that waist!). According to Marketsaw, these t-shirts were raffled off by actor Sam Worthington who stars as Jake Sully, a paralyzed marine who undergoes a medical procedure to live his life through his Avatar, a 10-foot tall blue alien. There is plenty of talk that this image is the silhouette of Zoe Saldana's alien love character, who in an interview with io9 told us that this lady will kick some serious ass. Zoe's character is totally alien and completely CG, and falls in love with Jake Sully.

Two Weeks Of Not Having To Wonder What To Wear Could Be Yours!

Graeme McMillan — Thu, 29 May 2008 06:30:00 PDT

For lesser mortals, it'd be enough to single-handedly save Summer Television from weeks of reruns and Andromeda Strain-esque events, but makers of Adult Swim's The Venture Bros. aren't the type of people to sit around and rest on their laurels. Not content with giving us another thirteen episodes of action, adventure and bastardizing the pop culture of our youth (Come on, like you expected David Bowie to make an appearance last season), they're also coming to save your wardrobe. Are you ready for The Venture Bros. Shirt of the Week Club?

Starting this Sunday, in time for that night's season 3 premiere, Venture Bros. production house Astrobase Go is offering an exclusive t-shirt to accompany that week's episode:

Each week we premiere a brand new episode of The Venture Bros. television program, we will premiere a brand new t-shirt to go with it RIGHT HERE. The shirt will remain on sale for one week only—until the next episode and the next shirt premiere. We'll only print as many shirts of each design as we receive orders for (okay, we'll probably make a couple for ourselves, too) and once the ad for a shirt is removed, that shirt will never be available again.

The first shirt on offer? The Guild of Calamitous Intent:

Fire up the Murdermobile and call your arch nemesis—because you're about to become a fully licensed member of The Guild of Calamitous Intent the moment you slide one of these 100% cotton American Apparel fine jersey short sleeve black beauties over your cybernetic exoskeleton or henchman's tunic! Emblazoned in gold with the official logo of the recognized leader in organized havoc, this shirt says to the world: "I come in separate cuts and sizes for Men and Women!

And that's not all - If you subscribe to all 13 shirts in the series now, you'll receive this fabulous set of ginsu knives absolutely... Wait, it's not ginsu knives?

"But wait..." you say. "Two weeks equals 14 days, not 13. I'll have to go the laundromat every 13 days now, which is an odd number and completely throws off my weekend plans. What are you trying to pull?" To which we say..."HOW ABOUT A BONUS T-SHIRT?!"
That's right, Venture Bros. Shirt Club subscribers will also receive the coveted SUPER-LIMITED EDITION BONUS BROCK SAMSON KODOKAN BLOOD JUDO T-SHIRT, which is available to SHIRT CLUB SUBSCRIBERS ONLY and is included FREE OF CHARGE with your subscription.

That's right; you may never have to go to Old Navy for your ironic t-shirt needs ever again.
