To celebrate T-Shirts.com’s recent Artist Designed line of T-shirts, they have sent us a few of their more Geek themed threads to review and enjoy. Now Geek T-shirts come in many shapes and sizes, both literally and figuratively, with properly licensed products and more questionable fan/artist designs of major properties like you might find on T-shirt of the day style websites. T-Shirts.com offer both licensed comic and Star Wars tees, as well as more original geek designs, and even shirts that feature bands, politics, and service groups. The site has a wide variety of options for those looking to cover their upper bodies with some cloth that shows of their favorite hobbies, heroes, and products at a reasonable price. Finding something cool won’t even be hard with their very specified categories listed on their website.

Now while the selection range is rather wide at T-Shirts.com, they do tend to have a theme more aimed at the casual T-shirt wearing audience, rather than hardcore geeks. Most of their shirts have the distressed look that is so trendy right now, with a major character or logo slapped on the front, and less of the subtle Geekiness you might find from other Geek-themed clothing sites. But never-the-less, as seen by their blog, it would appear a fair amount of their staff still hold some Geek values. And while they do try to appeal to the masses, with very straight forward designs promoting characters from Marvel, DC, Nintendo, 80′s movies, etc, some of them are truly cool. Designs that feature things like the Green Lantern Oath written out in the of shape the Green Lantern Logo, or classic 80′s video game characters playing Atari are both unique fun. Yet their designers Geekiness doesn’t always play out in the most amazing shirts, with some of their Star Wars pieces coming off as the type of designs you would most likely put face to palm over when seeing a less Geeky, more trendy T-Shirts.com patron wear them around.

T-Shirts.com prints their shirts on varying apparel manufacturer’s products, such as Alstyle and Bay Island Sportswear, which means the size and comfort may also vary from shirt to shirt. Part of this might have to do with licensing agreements. The website does use a very ideal concept of a “Fabric Softness Gauge”, but from our experience, they aren’t very good at judging where fabric should really fit on that scale. However, the overall quality of their product certainly seems high, with the same level of quality you might expect in a department store selling such shirts. Furthermore, their customer service is great and the people behind the site seem very easy to reach. Their new Artist Designed section also adds some rather fun and amusing styles to their otherwise more mainstream collection of products. While these artist’s designs don’t currently feature many Geek themes, it might be worth keeping an eye on as they have some rather talented people contributing. In the end, T-Shirts.com may not be the Geekiest place to buy clothing, but if you’re looking for something more branded and official, they’re not a bad place to shop.
