Taking a Stand with a Shirt

February 20, 2013 by · Leave a Comment

'Take a stand' against bullying, kids proclaim with t-shirt

For teachers and students of Mill Plain Elementary School in Vancouver, Washington, Valentine’s Day was really special. At a special school assembly, 500 students wearing a t-shirt that says “Take a Stand Mill Plain” formed the shape of a heart on the school’s playground that day, with the aim of sending a unified message against school bullying. According to the school’s principal Karen Fox, the anti-bullying campaign started last spring, taking the students to get involved by making them join a contest for making the campaign’s design to be imprinted on t-shirts.

The winning entry is a drawing created by Emily Paxman, a third grader. Fox noted that Paxman’s drawing captures the message of the campaign, which goal is to let “everyone come to school and feel good.” Fox further added that she has confidence on what the students can do to shape their school the way that they see on the pictures in the special shirt.

School leaders planned the assembly months before and have had to include students from the Crestline Elementary who were displaced by fire. For the company who made the shirts, overtime work was necessary to make sure that each child gets the special tee.

T-shirt for Your Heart’s Health

February 20, 2013 by · Leave a Comment

The rising cost of medical care have encouraged the production of consumer devices that can help people in the timely reporting of illnesses as well as prevent it. This method effectively cuts on the cost of healthcare since people can generally send reports to medical professionals from their homes, and such professionals will only take action when necessary.

Joining the ranks of such devices is a new t-shirt from Maxim Integrated, called the FIT telemonitoring shirt. According to Maxim’s Steve LaJeunesse is actually a sort of wearable electronics. He notes that the shirt generally targets people in the US who aged 60 above and who live alone. The shirt is intended to be worn 24/7 and functions to record data relating to heart issues, in the process helping to predict attacks before they happen.

The shirt was a result of a brainstorming meeting at the Stanford Design School early in 2012. The shirt features three lead ECG, body temperature and motion sensors, and a processing technology. LaJeunesse says that in developing FIT shirt, Maxim is partnered by the National University of Singapore (NUS), which is on the forefront of wearable electronics; and VitalSigns, which also had its start at the NUS.

Rumors are usually destructive in nature, but this time around, a rumor has actually been good for some shirt screen printer’s business. It started with some news about a NBA team’s possibility of returning to Seattle. As creative as it got, a company called Media Fly Creative set its wings high upon hearing the news and went about printing 1,500 Sonic’s shirts announcing “We’re Back!” This set up a a series of orders, and company owners Ian Bolyard and Dave Vahey said they had to work about 100 hours for a week to put up with demand.

Clay Bennett has bought the Seattle SuperSonics way back in 2006 and decided to move the team to Oklahoma City way back in 2008. To avoid a trademark battle with Bennett, Media Fly Creative has consulted a lawyer and has altered their designs accordingly.

The SuperSonics name will be back to Seattle if a planned sale of the team Sacramento Kings pushes trough between its owners, the Maloof family, and any group who agrees to move it to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. This sale, however, will be subject to NBA Board of Governors approval.

upsimple1 grande 300x275 Stunning Typographical T shirts from Soft City Clothing

Just as a masterpiece can’t really be captured by even the most stunning photograph, so are the new typographical t-shirts from Soft City Clothing. The London based t-shirt brand was created by Archie Proudfoot, a guy who clearly makes a statement of elegance with his designs. His work on these shirts speaks both of simplicity and elegance combined those results into one tagline: superb quality.

The impeccable 3D prints on Soft City Clothing’s t-shirts are a result of exacting process that ensures each piece is made with the highest degree of quality possible. Each masterpiece first undergoes screen printing process, after which laser cut letters are put in place into the shirt by ironing. The typographical are then hand stitched on top of the printed blanks creating that subtle 3D shadow effect. Because of the unique process by which these shirts are made, the letters won’t pull or pucker, as usually happens with appliquéd counterparts.

The shirts sells for £25.00 to £26.00, a price that is worth the perfect assemblage of color, typography and fabric weight that lends a Soft City piece that brand of quality that speaks for itself.

Soft City Clothing

Soft City Clothing shirts are the product of a multistage process that delivers a consistent level of quality. Its first collection, the “BE”, “UP”, and “ON” shirts are intended to make its first customers share in the ownership of a unique apparel product.

Soft City Clothing takes its inspiration from the traditional desire for strong prints in men’s wear as well as the classic typography of traditional sign writers. Before a professional machinist stitches the fabric letters, each shirt is first screen-printed with shadow letters corresponding to the fabric letters.

The two letter combination that was used in the design of each shirt was first sketched in Illustrator after which it was sent to local screen printers. Laser cutters were then used in cutting out the fabric letter to ensure consistency in cuts, thus matching up the dimensions of the screen print. The fabric letters then were ironed the shirts, after which it was sent to a professional machinist to make the final stitches on each letter, using the dominant color in each letter’s color combination. This way, the stitches can only be seen really up close.

With its unusual manufacturing process, Soft City Clothing ventures into fund raising to finance its projects, and to meet the minimum order requirements of its partner manufacturers in London. A pledge will be rewarded with the first line that comes off its production while the top pledge will receive one of the pieces of original artwork where the designs began.

Racist T-Shirts

January 16, 2013 by · Leave a Comment

By all indications, Taco Cid in West Colombia is a Mexican restaurant rather than a political hotspot. But just recently, it has attracted national attention on the issue of illegal immigrants, reaping both criticism and praise from different people whose opinion on the issue are as diverse as the American population.

The controversy started out when the restaurant owner, Snelgrove, decided to make and sell T-shirts printed with the phrase “How To Catch An Illegal Immigrant”, accompanied by a drawing of a box with a stick held over two tacos, resembling a makeshift trap.

Sandy Jones, a pastor at a predominantly Hispanic church in the Midlands, complains that the shirts are being very racist in its comment, and is asking the restaurant to stop selling the shirts and to publicly apologize.

Snelgrove, however, averred that they created the T-shirts as witty and comical statement regarding illegal immigrants, and that no element of hate or racial remarks is intended towards any ethnic group.

Snelgrove states that she got the inspiration for the shirts at a cruise in Key West, where she saw similar shirts being sold. Selling for $35, she says that she has been mailing the shirts all over the world.

She further added that it’s not racist but just a shirt about immigrants, illegal immigrants that is.
