The ‘meh.’ Shirt Is a Typographic Volume Knob, Not a Mood

The garment preview shows a dark shirt with four lowercase letters and a period, centered, and small enough that you have to lean in to confirm the punctuation. meh. No animal. No pride variant.

The ‘Let’s Root For Each Other’ Shirt Is a Diagram of Two Different Roots

The first thing I notice on this shirt is not the sentence. It is the soil line. Four root vegetables — carrot, radish, beet, onion — sit in a row, each with a face, each with its taproot and fibrous roots drawn down into the dirt. The words LET’S ROOT FOR EACH OTHER AND WATCH …
