Sell Your Wit
I believe it all began with the band shirts, and quite accidentally at that. To begin with, the band shirts were released with the intention of promoting the band’s tour or its latest album. After some time, the band shirts have become fashion statements. Band shirts and jeans have become the official casual garb of teens and even yuppies who wish to declare their tastes and preferences in music. Shops selling these precious band shirts began springing up to business.
Can’t find the band shirt you’d like to have? That’s no longer a problem. Now, you can have it done according to your own design. All you have to do is give a copy of the design you want to have on your shirt to t-shirt printing shops; another enterprise that has suddenly come to a spanking new life.
Of course, the innovations and creativity did not stop with band shirts. Ever since t-shirt printing has become a very accessible service, personalized artwork have found themselves splattered on the front of not only shirts, but also pillow cases, mugs and wherever else anyone could think of.
The latest incarnation of this trend is the attitude shirt, countless statement shirts are selling like hot cakes. From simple, modest statements like “almost famous” or the not-so-modest “I rule”, even the downright blatant “I’m with stupid” (complete with an arrow). This is where you can actually sell your wit. Just think of clever and amusing one-liners, quote songs and movies, even poetry! Try to catch on with the wave, while it’s still here.
